Kristian:

thank you for being so observant. Actually, it was a programmatic typo on my part, as I just tried to type the pseudo-code into the email.
My production code does follow the described pattern:

    final public Object getValue(ResultSet resultSet) throws SQLException {
        final Object object = resultSet.getObject(m_columnIdx);
        if (resultSet.wasNull()) {
            return null;
        }
        return object;
    }

/******************************************/

                    final Object object = resultSet.getObject(i);
                    String string;
                    if (object == null || resultSet.wasNull()) {
                        string = m_nullValueIndicator;
                    } else {
                        switch (columnTypes[i]) {

/******************************************/

        while (resultSet.next()) {
            tableBuilder.append("<TR>");
            for (int i = 1; i <= columnCount; i++) {
                final String string = resultSet.getString(i);
                final String value = (string == null || resultSet.wasNull() ? "&nbsp;" : string.trim());
                tableBuilder.append("<TD>").append(value).append("</TD>");
            }
            tableBuilder.append("</TR>\n");
        }


Much appreciated,
Pavel.

Hi,

I don't know of this issue is present in your actual code, but note that
ResultSet.wasNull must be called *after* a getter method has been called.
From the JavaDocs:

"Reports whether the last column read had a value of SQL NULL. Note that
you must first call one of the getter methods on a column to try to read
its value and then call the method wasNull to see if the value read was
SQL NULL."

Assuming wasNull was called after the getter method, the second
getObject above may raise an exception in Derby. The restriction that
you can call a getter only once for a given column is limited to some
data types (i.e. BLOB and CLOB) and some getters (getXXXStream,
getObject for the data types mentioned).

Just thought I'd mention it :)
