Hi My Java servlet (on ApacheTomcat) with database connection to MySQL keeps reporting same error from a Resultset via a PreparedStatement. It's catching an SQLException sqle error: "Before start of result set." and showing a blank screen instead of showing printed messages having checked inputted parameters against the database. Servlet contains lot of ifs, elses, comparing parameter Strings (yes, using .equals() ) against the rs. object. I've lost the plot on this. Any ideas anyone?
