great replies from everyone.
even with connection pooling, how many connections are we looking at here?
if my project works as intended, im predicting from 30 to 1000 poeple
simultaneously hitting tomcat and sql server.
i remember when websites like friendster.com came out, it was really slow.
now it is much faster, do you guys know where does a student learn about how
to handle high traffic web applications? is there any classes?

Oooooh, yeah. Failing to close connections is very likely to give you
errors, as you will end up running out of memory, or the database server
will cut you off when you reach the maximum number of connections.
Someone else mentioned the use of a connection pool, which I highly
recommend. You can use Tomcat to configure a connection pool and then
obtain a JDBC DataSource through JNDI. Then, you can get a connection
from that for use.
It's not really as complicated as it sounds ;)

Let me suggest some changes to your code:
Connection conn = null;
Statement stmt = null;
ResultSet rs = null;
try
{
conn = (get connection from jndi datasource)
stmt = conn.createStatement();
rs = stmt.executeQuery(queryStr);
// Package the results into Java objects
// instead of using the ResultSet directly
return ??;
}
catch (SQLException sqle) // Don't catch "Exception" unless you have to
{
sqle.printStackTrace();
System.err.println("getData error"); // System.err is better
throw sqle; // No need for a new exception; use existing one
}
finally
{
if(null != rs)
try { rs.close(); } catch (SQLException sqle)
{ System.err.println("Could not close ResultSet"); }
if(null != stmt)
try { stmt.close(); } catch (SQLException sqle)
{ System.err.println("Could not close Statement"); }
if(null != conn)
try { conn.close(); } catch (SQLException sqle)
{ System.err.println("Could not close Connection"); }
}
This is about as clean as you can get. If you must return the ResultSet
to to the calling method, then you will have to do something different.
I recommend you copy from the ResultSet into something like an
ArraryList of objects specific for your needs.
One last thing: when possible, use PreparedStatement instead of
Statement for your queries. The use of this class goes a long way
towards protecting you against SQL injection attacks (where people can
do nasty things like drop tables and stuff). It requires a bit more
setup (especially if you are trying to write a reusable method to
execute all your queries) but I think it's worth it.
