Hi there Im having a problem with my database connection...other instances of nearly the same code works but I cant understand why this isn't working
My class which retrieves info from the data base is

/*
 * MuscleSchedule.java
 *
 * Created on 07 May 2007, 18:03
 *
 * To change this template, choose Tools | Template Manager
 * and open the template in the editor.
 */
package fitness;
import java.sql.*;
/**

 * @author Hegstatic
 */
public class MuscleSchedule {
    /** Creates a new instance of MuscleSchedule */
   public Connection con;
   public String error;
   public double repmax;
  public double benchpress;
 
  public Connection getCon()
  {
      return con;
  }
 
  public void setCon(Connection con){
this.con = con;
}
 
 
 
public double getRepmax(String userName) throws SQLException, Exception{
                 if(con != null){
                 try{
 
                ResultSet rs;
                Statement stmt = con.createStatement();
 
               rs = stmt.executeQuery("SELECT Benchpress FROM repmax WHERE Username= '"+userName+"' ");
                while (rs.next()) {
               repmax = rs.getDouble("Benchpress");
 
                }
               return repmax;
 
               } catch(SQLException sqle){
               error = "SQLException: could not search repmax";
                throw new Exception(error, sqle);
               }
 
               catch(Exception e){
               error = "An exception occured while searching repmax";
               throw new Exception(error);
                }
                } else {
               error = "Exception: connection to database was lost";
               throw new Exception(error);}
 
                }
   public void setRepmax(double repmax)
   {
       this.repmax = repmax;
   }
 
   public double getBenchpress(double repmax)
   {
   benchpress = Math.round(((repmax)/10)*8);
   return benchpress;
   }
   public void setBenchpress(double benchpress)
   {
   this.benchpress = benchpress;
}
}

I want this class to basically take a variable in the first method
then do a calculation on that variable in the next method
Then send that calculation to a JSP....
My JSP page with a servlet that calls the methods is :

<%@page contentType="text/html"%>
<%@page import="java.sql.*, fitness.*"%>
 
<jsp:useBean id="conn" class="fitness.DBConnect" />
<jsp:useBean id="update" scope="session" class="fitness.MuscleSchedule" />
<jsp:useBean id="currentuser" scope="session" class="fitness.currentuserBean" />

   <!--Here the user calls either the newEmployer or newStudent methhods from the DBQuery, depending on the user type-->
    <head><title>Press up update</title></head>
    <body>
        <%
       String userName = currentuser.getName();
         double repmax = update.getRepmax(userName);
 
 
 
                      conn.connect();
                update.setCon(conn.getCon());
                 update.getBenchpress(repmax);
 
                        conn.disconnect(); 
 
 
         %>
   <jsp:forward page="ScheduleDisplay.jsp" />
     </body>
 </html>
    </body>
</html>

The error I am getting is

hey just a second what is the connection u r creating ?????????is it Sql ,.........
u need 2 specify .

Member Avatar for hegRT

My connection is to a MySQL database.

I use a jdbc:mysql connection with Netbeans. I can access the data base with other classes.

I use a standard way of adding/retrieving throughout but retrieving data causes problems for me.

Member Avatar for lucky1981_iway

Post the code of your DBConnect class so we can find out the problem.

Member Avatar for lucky1981_iway

In your exception stacktrace this line gets printed "Exception: connection to database was lost" It means something is wrong with passing the connection. While checking whether con is null or not "it found to be null" and exception is thrown.

Check your DBConeect class .

Thanks for the advice ...my DBConnect class is

Ah what i was thinking yeasterday !!

Buddy you are doing this
"double repmax = update.getRepmax(userName);" Till this point of time you didn't passed the connection to "MuscleSchedule"

Shift this line " double repmax = update.getRepmax(userName);" in your program below

conn.connect();
        update.setCon(conn.getCon());
// put it here
Member Avatar for hegRT

Hey buddy Il try that now. Thanks:)

Member Avatar for hegRT

That solved the problem with it not being able to read from the database anyways ....but when I try to call <jsp:getProperty name ="update" property="benchpress" />Im recieving an error: Cannot find a method to read property 'benchpress' in a bean of type 'fitness.MuscleSchedule' :(
