No, but I'm guessing that UserBean is the name of your class and not an
instance of the class. Your code should read more like this:
UserBean aBean;
// ... something that initializes aBean ...
try {
// ...
aBean.setLastAccess( rs.getString( "lastaccess" ));
// ...
}
The class name being before the dot (in your original code) makes the
"static context" and your "setLastAccess" method was definitely not defined
as static.
