Hey guys, i'm working on making a connection from my login page to the next frame using Netbeans using a login and password system. Everything works fine except for the login page, I think i've confused myself with the try and catch statements. Can you guys take a look at let me know what you think. Cheers in advance! I will only post the 2 classes of login and mysqlconnect to make things easier.

That is still an awful lot of code.  
Most of the Swing stuff is probably irrelevant to the question at hand.

Perhaps line 277 in your code as posted here might be relevant to your exception ?

If I'm not wrong this is the code where you try to connect to database.
Why do you have this static class in Login class on line 268?
I think this code is calling to the static method of static class MySQLConnect instead of calling method of public class MySQLConnect. That is why it is throwing UnsupportedOperationException which is created in ConnectDb static method of static class MySQLConnect.

  • You created extra block using curly braces, opening brace on line no 193 and closing brace on line 224. It doesn't cause any error but no need of it

  • mitchell bat wrote:200 - unreported exception SQLException; must be caught or declared to be thrown
    201 - unreported exception SQLException; must be caught or declared to be thrown


  • On line no 200 and 201 in below code. Method setString(int parameterIndex,String x) of PreparedStatement throws SQLException so you must catch it so alway write that code in try block

  • mitchell bat wrote:208 - illegal start of type, cannot find symbol, symbol: variable next, location: variable rs of type resultset, illegal start of expression


  • Below is the code on line no 208. Here .next() is the method ResultSet i.e. boolean next() throws SQLException. I think you forgot to add circular brackets i.e. ()

  • 215 - else without if
    219 - catch without try

  • Here is that code where you missed closing curly bracket of if statement on line no 215

  • On line 219 you have catch without try block so write try{ before

  • On line 190, your JButton name is
  • Always use expressive name for components like jbtnLogin or whichever you feel more expressive, so at first glance you understand what the code does when this button is clicked.
    Please read this Java Programming Style

  • If you are using JDBC API 4.0 or later version and JDK 6 or later, then you don't have to write following code to load the drivers. Because DriverManager class does it when it is loaded. This class has static initializer which loads and registers drivers using ServiceLoader which was introduced in JDK 6.

    Thanks for that, makes alot more sense and easier to understand

    At the moment i'm using version 5.1.39 so i'll take that out

    As for the code now it works fine with no errors but the only issue now is when I type in my username and password I get the following message

  • Make sure your calling method of MySQLConnect class but not inner static class's method because I don't know what is your new updated code looks like.
  • Make sure your connection is established in public static Connection ConnectDB() method of public class MySQLConnect by writing below code in that method before return conn;
  • Check what it prints when you click on that JButton.

    Where does pst get initialised?
    You leap from declaring the sql String to trying to set values on your PreparedStatement.  There is no attempt to create a PreparedStatement in between.

    Because you are not calling public static Connection ConnectDB() method of MySQLConnect and that is the reason your connection is not established.

  • Remove this code or comment that, why do you need that?

  • Write MySQLConnect class's method like below.



  • Before below code on line no 198, write code to call method of MySQLConnect  to establish connection. To make sure it is calling correct method.
    Just press ctrl and click on ConnectDb(), see where it leads you

  • That won't cure the null pointer exception.
    Still need to actually set pst to something.

    I thought better first check whether connection is established or not. Because he/she is using conn which is initialied as null and not calling the method of MySQLConnect which returns an object of Connection to assign to that conn. Do you think we have left setting pst to sth else more?

    The Null Pointer shown earlier is entirely down to 'pst' never being set to anything (let alone a PS using that SQL string).

    From the latest code posted that rogue connection class has been removed from the Login file, so I would hope that the proper one, which does make a connection, will be used.
    Though that one should not be eating exceptions like that, and should be throwing them and letting the app crash, at least for now.

    Apologize, hassling you more. Sometime it is very difficult for non-native english speakers to understand what some statements in english means. I really have no notion what precisely this statement means.

    No problem.

    The code posted above (the second lot, with the changes) has this:


    The NullPointerException that mitchell reported is thrown from this like:


    At this point, 'pst' is null.  It doesn't have anything assigned to it until 2 lines later on, with the call to conn.prepareStatement.
    That line should be before any of the calls to setString on 'pst'.

    I should own up that I only noticed when I wrote that reply to you!


    I did notice that 'pst' had to be null, but completely missed the prepare call two lines later...

    I tried it but still had the same error message, tomorrow when I get a chance i'm going to re do it all and go through my notes again and post my results. I sincerely apologize and hope I won't make the same mistake again, I think I confused myself and jumped the gun when I was writing this up. I did however take a note out of your book and changed the variables names to more meaningful names so it is alot easier to follow.

    So i'm still confused on writing this so bare with me guys. So lets start from step 1 of this and i'll try to explain this so we're all on the same page

    So i've got a login class called 'login' with a username (jtextfield) and password (jpasswordfield) field and what I want to happen is when the user enters a string in the username field and the password I want it to check up against the MySQL database (or I could even hard code a username and password) and when the login button is clicked I want it to either login to the program or if the credentials are wrong I want a dialog box to pop up and say try again

    First create simple form which has JTextField for user name and JPasswordField for user password. When user clicks on login (JButton) check if it matches hard coded user name and password according to that display message using  JOptionaPane dialog. Like below I created which just checks hard coded user name and password and displays message according to that.

    Do not use the Netbeans GUI designer.
    You'll get completely lost.
    It's not a simple tool by any means, and even worse if you don't understand how Swing fits together.
