Value "null" is displayed when retrieving null values from database

Hi,
I'm retrieving a record from Oracle database using a ResultSet rs and displaying the values on screen. Some of the columns do not have any data.
The statements are:
ResultSet rs
st=con.createStatement();
rs=st.executeQuery(............)
out.println("<input name='punch_line' type='text' value='"+rs.getString(7)+"'>");
The problem is that there is no value in the database column rs.getString(7). Ideally when the value is null, the field should not display anything. But in my case it is displaying the text "null".
Can anyone let me know how can I display a blank value instead of displaying the text "null"?
Thanks,
Sridhar

api >
String getString(int columnIndex)
Gets the value of the designated column in
column in the current row of this ResultSet object as
a String in the Java programming language.
so null is returned as string object..NO.
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/sql/ResultSet.html
Returns:
the column value; if the value is SQL NULL, the value returned is null
The Java literal null is returned, not the String "null". The JDBC API provides a method wasNull() to detect if the previous accessed column returned a SQL NULL.

    i think normally u will get data from databsae as objects.they are like java beans having getter and setter methods.so you create a collection of those objects like collect all the objects coming from database into an arraylist or....
    suppose you want to populate the dropdown box with say "username" from database object s, your code will look like that
    <html:select property="name">
    <html:options collection="databaseList" property="username" />
    </html:select>
    "databaseList" is collection(say.. ArrayList) of objects you are getting from database.this dropdown will contain all the "usernames" you are getting from database.

    In the above code im geeting project D which is an integer value. But not able to get the project name.
    Please some one guide me.

    As I said in the other thread, this really isn't the place to ask questions about a database API unrelated to the Illustrator SDK. You're far more like to find people familliar with your problem on a forum that is dedicated to answering those kinds of questions instead.

  • List of values from Database Adapter - BPM Forms

    Hi all,
    Can anyone tell me how to get list of values from Database adapter and a ServiceTask.
    As example lets say a table has Employee and Department columns.
    I want to list down all the Employees in BPM form (Select One List Box) once i provide the department to the Database Adapter.
    Is it possible from the DB Adapter?? What will be the variable type?
    Thanks,
    Nir

    Hi DanielAtwood,
    Thanks for your reply...
    Actually when i send the variable in 'WHERE Clause' in Db Adapter query it will retrieve more than one record as the output.
    I want to put that values to a 'SelectOneChoice' component and list down all the values..
    First I tried with data control. But i couldn't find the way to pass the value to the variable(in WHERE clause) to the query in data control view.
    Thanks,
    Nir

    As long as you're unable to compile Java code, please use the 'New to Java' forum. This is really trival.
    To ease writing, debugging and maintenance, I highly recommend you to write Java code in Java classes rather than JSP files. Start learning Servlets.

    thanks

    You basically save a File to the database, so you can just re-write the data from the file back temporarily and load it into the application using the ImageIO class
    // create necessary connection and statement objects
    // retrieve image column
    ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery("SELECT Image FROM dataTable");
    rs.next();
    Blob imageData = rs.getBlob("Image");
    if( imageData != null ) {
        try {
            File tmpFile = new File("tmpImage");
            FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(tmpFile);
                fos.write( imageData.getBytes(1L, (int)imageData.length()) );
                fos.close();
            tmpFile.deleteOnExit();
            ImageIcon icon = new ImageIcon( ImageIO.read(tmpFile) );   
            JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, icon);
        } catch(IOException ioe) {
            ioe.printStackTrace();
            JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Failed To Load Image Data", "Load Error",
                    JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE);

  • "Error retrieving xml file from database"

    Hello All,
    I have installed and configured planning with Shared services. While I try to create an instance in Configuration Utility by entering the Instance Name, Host Name, Port (8300) and Click "Next", I get this error -
    *"System failure:Error retrieving xml file from database".*
    My RDBMS is - SQL Server 2005
    OS - Windows 2003 Server
    I am unable to work on planning for few months due to this error.. I would sincerely appreciate if someone can provide me a solution for this..
    Thanks much,
    Varma.

    Hi,
    Ive seen this before.
    If this is a new environment could you create a blank database and configure it as your System database? Then try again and you should be fine.
    I think you may have some invalid entries in your sys database.

  • How to display checkbox that retrieve value from database?

    Hi,
    I have a problem, hope someone will help me.
    The problem is, I have 3 checkbox where contain different values.
    I will insert the values to db in array. When I retrieve the values, I got a problem to display it.
    Let say,my checkbox's value is:
    1.car
    2.bus
    3.lorry
    when I checked car and lorry, my array will be [car,bus] insert to db.
    For editing purpose, I need to display the checkbox again with the values from db. So, it should be :
    1.car (checked)
    2.bus (checked)
    3.lorry (unchecked)
    I can display the car and bus (checked) , but not the unchecked checkbox. Sometimes, it's repeating, car (checked) and car (unchecked) will display.
    Anybody have a suggestion?
    My codes:
    String[] list = {"car","bus","lorry"};
    String[] logtype ={"car","bus"}//retrieve from db (example)
    for (int i=0;i<logtype.length;i++){
    if (logtype.equals(list[i]){
    <input type="checkbox" name="type" value="<%=list[i]%>" checked>
    else{
    <input type="checkbox" name="type" value="<%=list[i]%>" >

    hey u can solve this problem by using vector instead of array
    here's the code
    <%
    Vector list=new Vector();
    list.addElement("car");
    list.addElement("bus");
    list.addElement("lorry");
    Vector logtype=new Vector();
    logtype.addElement("car");
    logtype.addElement("bus");
    for(int i=0;i<list.size();i++)
         if(logtype.contains(list.elementAt(i)))
         { %>
              <%=list.elementAt(i)%><input type="checkbox" name="type" value="<%=list.elementAt(i)%>" checked>
         <%}
         else
         {%>
              <%=list.elementAt(i)%><input type="checkbox" name="type" value="<%=list.elementAt(i)%>" >
         <%}
    %>
