rowset.jar

[KGComputers]

Hi,

This is in relation to my post crimson.jar. The problem is I have downloaded the rowset.jar and placed it in my folder c:\java\lib.This folder contains the other .jar files too.I have set the classpath to point to c:\java\lib in the environment variables....When I tried running the code an error appears:

package sun.jdbc.rowset does not exist
What are the correct steps in order for the rowset.jar to work correctly?

Hope for any advice on this....


By the way, I'm using JDK1.5 as my compiler, cloudscape as my dbms...

Here's the error generated from the code:

C:\BegJavaDB\Ch11>javac -cp . rowset/CachedRowSetExample.java
rowset/CachedRowSetExample.java:7: package sun.jdbc.rowset does not exist
import sun.jdbc.rowset.*;

CachedRowSet cachedRs;
^
rowset/CachedRowSetExample.java:43: cannot find symbol

location: class rowset.CachedRowSetExample
cachedRs = new CachedRowSet();
^
3 errors
Thanks... :) :) :)

Hi

Does anyone have rowset.jar that functions correctly? Where do I put the jar files in my path? c:\jdk1.5\lib or jre\lib? I'm not using any web server for my codes..Just plain jdbc programming using cloudscape...

I guess I've been using IDEs long enough that I forgot about that :(
But after doing some research I found out that you can put the file anywhere and add a reference to it in your classpath from computer settings. because a .jar file is dealed with as a folder apparently

Hi,

Thanks for the tip...Do you happen to have a good rowset.jar? Ive been downloading series of rowset.jar from Sun's early access....Nothing of them seems to work fine..If you can send one(good rowset.jar), that would be a great help to some of us working with java...

why don't you use "javax.sql.RowSet"?

Hi,

Ive tested javax.sql.rowset..The Compile does not generate errors..But in java command it gives me these specific errors:


Exception in thread "main" java.lang.AbstractMethodError: c8e.cs.g.locatorsUpdat

48)
at rowset.CachedRowSetExample1.main(CachedRowSetExample1.java:19)



Here's the code:


package rowset;

import java.io.*;
import java.sql.*;
import javax.sql.*;
import javax.sql.rowset.*;
import com.sun.rowset.*;
import com.sun.rowset.CachedRowSetImpl;

public class CachedRowSetExample1 {
CachedRowSetImpl cachedRs;

public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception{

CachedRowSetExample1 crse = new CachedRowSetExample1();

try {
crse.populateRowSet();
boolean done = false;
BufferedReader in =
new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
while (!done) {
System.out.print("Enter a row number (0 to exit) : ");
String s = in.readLine();
int result = new Integer(s).intValue();
if (result == 0) {
done = true;
} else {
crse.showRow(result);
}
}
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}

void populateRowSet() throws ClassNotFoundException, SQLException {
cachedRs = new CachedRowSetImpl();
Class.forName("COM.cloudscape.core.JDBCDriver");
String url = "jdbc:cloudscape:c:/wrox/database/Wrox4370.db";
String username = "APP";
String password = "";
Connection connection = DriverManager.getConnection(url);

String sql = "select * from Stores";
cachedRs.setCommand(sql);
cachedRs.execute(connection);
connection.close();
}

void showRow(int row) throws SQLException {
try {
cachedRs = new CachedRowSetImpl();
cachedRs.absolute(row);
} catch (SQLException e) {
System.out.println("Caught exception. row=[" + row +
"] message=[" + e.getMessage() + "]");
String message = e.getMessage().toLowerCase();
if (message.indexOf("invalid cursor position") == -1) {
//if it's not an invalid position, rethrow the exception
throw e;
}
}

if (cachedRs.isBeforeFirst()) {
System.out.println("Index " + row + " is before first row");
} else if (cachedRs.isAfterLast()) {
System.out.println("Index " + row + " is after last row");
} else {
System.out.println("StoreId : " + cachedRs.getInt("StoreID") +
" :: StoreDescription : " +
cachedRs.getString("StoreDescription"));
}
}
}



I have read several tutorials on CachedRowSet...Have I missed something? Are my commands correct? Instantiation of CachedRowSet objects? Package accessing?
