IMO, it's better to write :
catID = rootRs.getString("cat_id");
categories.addElement(getCategory(catID));
than :
categories.addElement(getCategory(rootRs.getString("cat_id")));
because while testing your code, you may have to check the value of catID.
With the second example, there is no way to test for the value returned by
getString("cat_id").
So the question is : should you then optimize your code by switching to the
second version.
You shouldn't.
