Thread: JDBC/JSP: Strange Problem
Hi folks, new to the list and PostgreSQL -- In the process of converting
all of my MySql programs to Postgres.
I have run into a strange problem I can't resolve, I narrowed the problem
down to a small snippet of code below.
The code compiles and runs, I see the select all * from messages execute
and the data is returned via the network, however, the jsp only outputs the
LAST record returned. Can't figure it out -- anyone else hit this?
BTW: Tomcat 3.3, Java 1.3.1, PostgreSQL 7.1.3 with JDBC 7.1-1.2.jar

Scott- It's kinda' tough to tell what's happening from the code snippet because most of the jdbc code is buried in the taglibs. You mentioned converting from MySQL- have the taglibs been written specifically for MySQL, or are they general-purpose libs? I think If I were troubleshooting, I'd first look at the source for the results in the browser just to make sure the data isn't being hidden because of some bogus html, and then I'd look at the taglibs starting with ietags, as that seems to be where the code that steps through your resultset lives. If the taglibs aren't too huge, I'd like to take a look at them. It's a bit off-topic for this list, but if you'd like a second pair of eyeballs staring at them (and they aren't proprietary code), feel free to send the code for the taglibs to me directly & I'll see if I notice anything obvious. -Nick -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Nick Fankhauser nickf@ontko.com Phone 1.765.935.4283 Fax 1.765.962.9788 Ray Ontko & Co.

Scott,
Nicks suggestion is essentially what we need to do to debug this. One
other way to debug this is to look at the servlet that was created by
the JSP compiler. You should have a work directory, and a number of
servlets in there. If you can find the servlet, and the relevant code
please post.

TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command
(send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to majordomo@postgresql.org)

That's an excellent idea- on our system (Debian 2.4, tomcat 3.2) the work directory is /usr/share/tomcat/work/. In the work directory is a directory for each context & in there will be the servlet code for each jsp. The filenames are pretty long, but the jsp file name is imbedded in them so you can tell which one you need. -Nick

You're not closing <TH> and <TD>. It's not required in HTML 3.2, but it actually is in 4.0. So, you could possibly have some side effects you haven't counted on. However, it's easy enough to spot; check the page source and see if it contains all your data. If it does, it's the rendering. If not, it's the taglib. Not much else that can go wrong. :-) ///Jens Carlberg
