Display data in tabular format in jsp - sql

Question

I am trying the following jsp code.
switch(ch)
{
case 1 :
ResultSet rsid=stmt.executeQuery("select ID from BcTwo");
while(rsid.next())
{
%>
<tr><td>
<%out.println(rsid.getString(1)); %>
</td></tr>
<%
}
rsid.close();
break;
case 2 :
ResultSet rs=stmt.executeQuery("select SERIES from BcTwo");
while(rs.next())
{
%>
<tr><td>
<%out.println(rs.getString("SERIES")); %>
</td></tr>
<%
}
rs.close();
break;
}
Using this code I am able to print the data.But I want the data to be printed in following format :
ID Series
1 BE
2 EQ
3 BE
4 BE
5 EQ
6 EQ
And using the above code data is getting printed as :
ID
1
2
3
4
5
6
Series
BE
EQ
BE
BE
EQ
EQ
What changes I should make to get the required output?

Answer 1

I got the answer.
switch(ch)
{
case 1 :
String ID=(String)session.getAttribute("ID");
session.setAttribute("ID", ID);
if(null == session.getAttribute("ID"))
{
out.println(rsid.getString("ID"));
}
break;
case 2 :
String SERIES=(String)session.getAttribute("SERIES");
session.setAttribute("SERIES", SERIES);
if(null == session.getAttribute("SERIES"))
{
out.println(rsid.getString("SERIES"));
}
break;
}
I am not sure whether this is the best solution but it just worked for me.

switch(ch)
{
%>
<tr>
<%
case 1 :
ResultSet rsid=stmt.executeQuery("select ID from BcTwo");
while(rsid.next())
{
%>
<td>
<%out.print(rsid.getString(1)); %>
</td>
<%
}
rsid.close();
break;
case 2 :
ResultSet rs=stmt.executeQuery("select SERIES from BcTwo");
while(rs.next())
{
%>
<td>
<%out.print(rs.getString("SERIES")); %>
</td>
<%
}
rs.close();
break;
}
%>
</tr>

Answer 3

first of all ,having java code inside scriptlets is a bad practice. You should avoid it. DO the necessary java code in a servlet and use EL or JSTL to display the returned data in the JSP
as for your question, each result will have a TR where the ID and SERIES will be printed inside that TR in 2 TDs
<%
ResultSet rsid=stmt.executeQuery("select ID,SERIES from BcTwo");
while(rsid.next())
{
%>
<tr>
<td>
<%out.print(rsid.getString("ID")); %>
</td>
<td>
<%out.print(rsid.getString("SERIES")); %>
</td>
</tr>
<%
}
rsid.close();
%>
hope this helps..
