If a SQLException is thrown inside your try block, it will be caught, logged, and then the method exists with no return value. You have several options: 1. Put a catch-all "return" at the very end of the method (after the finally block) 2. Put a return in your catch(SQLException) block. 3. Throw an exception in your catch(SQLException) block. I tend to favor #3 since a SQLException usually indicates a real problem rather than something that is recoverable, but this may not be true under your particular circumstances. - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFFpZ3V9CaO5/Lv0PARAuNvAKC4+g9iHyn6U3m88e+hgBJfQ87WjgCeJAV9 sDq1+7kNLRWpyZrZE1roQ14= =/ZcX -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
