probably what u r doing is str.equals(null) which is bound to give a null pointer exception
instead of that should do (str==null)

Subject: how to check whether a column value is null in a database table
Hi
I am using
rs.getString(1)
for getting a 1st columns value of a database table, I want to check whether
the value is null or not, because if I use it without checking whether it is
null or not it gives me a runtime NullPointerException....
how can I check for nulity
Deepak
