Kevin Rood ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) reports a bug with a severity of 2 The lower the number the more severe it is. Short Description Problem with JDBC Driver / Statement.executeQuery() Long Description I am using PostgreSQL and Tomcat on Red Hat Linux 7.0 to develop a database enabled webapp. The combination seems to work fine except when I repeatedly request a page. It seems that around 7-11 requests in a row with a short time between requests will result in the exception and stack trace in example code. The exception gets thrown at the line 's.executeQuery( query );'. Any help is appreciated. Sample Code private boolean validUser( String userID, String password, Connection c ) throws SQLException { String query = "SELECT gb_admin.user_id, password " + "FROM gb_admin, gb_user " + "WHERE gb_admin.user_id = gb_user.user_id AND " + " gb_admin.user_id = '" + userID + "' AND " + " gb_user.password = '" + password + "'"; Statement s = c.createStatement(); ResultSet rs = s.executeQuery( query ); if ( rs.next() ) { rs.close(); s.close(); return true; } else { rs.close(); s.close(); return false; } --------------------------- Here's the stack trace: Error: 500 Location: /kevin/servlet/AdminLogin Internal Servlet Error: java.lang.NullPointerException at org.postgresql.Connection.ExecSQL(Connection.java:312) at org.postgresql.jdbc2.Statement.execute(Statement.java:273) at org.postgresql.jdbc2.Statement.executeQuery(Statement.java:54) at AdminLogin.isValidAdminUser(AdminLogin.java:120) at AdminLogin.doGet(AdminLogin.java:77) at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:740) at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:853) at org.apache.tomcat.core.ServletWrapper.doService(ServletWrapper.java:404) at org.apache.tomcat.core.Handler.service(Handler.java:286) at org.apache.tomcat.core.ServletWrapper.service(ServletWrapper.java:372) at org.apache.tomcat.core.ContextManager.internalService(ContextManager.java:797) at org.apache.tomcat.core.ContextManager.service(ContextManager.java:743) at org.apache.tomcat.service.http.HttpConnectionHandler.processConnection(HttpConnectionHandler.java:210) at org.apache.tomcat.service.TcpWorkerThread.runIt(PoolTcpEndpoint.java:416) at org.apache.tomcat.util.ThreadPool$ControlRunnable.run(ThreadPool.java:498) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:484) No file was uploaded with this report ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/users-lounge/docs/faq.html
