Question

I have a Manager class that saves data in the SQL table and also get result from SQL table and test these data.when I run my program,one frame will be shown that gets ID and password and if they are correct ,the other frame will be shown.BUT I don’t know that why it just test the last row of SQL table?? i mean if I set those text fields with the other IDs and passwords except from last row.it will show the data are wrong(I have set it before for wrong data)

Manager class:

 public static boolean Test(String userName, String password) {
    boolean bool = false;
    Statement stmt = null;
    try {
        stmt = conn.createStatement();

        ResultSet rst = null;

        rst = stmt.executeQuery("SELECT yahooId , password FROM clienttable");


        while (rst.next()) {
            if (rst.getString(1).equalsIgnoreCase(userName) && rst.getString(2).equalsIgnoreCase(password)) {
                bool = true;
            } else {
                bool = false;
            }
        }
    } catch (SQLException ex) {
        Logger.getLogger(Manager.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
    }
    return bool;



}

my button’s perform action in the frame which get the ID and password and test it:

 private void jButton1ActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {                                         
    try {
        submit();
    } catch (ConnectException ex) {
        JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(this, "You coudn't connect to the server successfully,try it again", "Sign_In Problem", JOptionPane.OK_OPTION);

    }
    clear();

} 

  private void submit() throws ConnectException {

    String id = idField.getText();
    char[] pass1 = passField.getPassword();
    String pass = new String(pass1);
    if (id.equals("") || pass.equals("")) {
        Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().beep();
        JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(this, "You should enter an ID and password", "Sign_In Problem", JOptionPane.OK_OPTION);
        return;
    } else {
        boolean b = Manager.Test(id, pass);
        client.setCurrentName(id);
        if (b == true) {
            this.setVisible(false);



            ListFrame frame = new ListFrame(client);
            frame.setVisible(true);





        } else {

            JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(this, "You have entered wrong datas,try it again", "Sign_In Problem", JOptionPane.OK_OPTION);
            return;
        }
    }
}

EDIT:

I have edited my manager class(test method) but still it works like past!!

  public static boolean Test(String userName, String password) {
    boolean bool = false;
    PreparedStatement stmt = null;
    ResultSet resultSet = null;
    try {
        stmt = conn.prepareStatement("SELECT id FROM clienttable WHERE yahooId = ? AND password = ?");
        stmt.setString(1, userName);
        stmt.setString(2, password);
        resultSet = stmt.executeQuery();
        bool = resultSet.next();

    } catch (SQLException ex) {
        Logger.getLogger(Manager.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
    } finally {
        try {
            resultSet.close();
            stmt.close();
            conn.close();
        } catch (SQLException ex) {
            Logger.getLogger(Manager.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
        }

    }

    return bool;



}

Because you’re hauling the entire database table down into Java’s memory and testing every row in a while loop. You don’t break the loop if a match is found so that it continues overwriting the boolean outcome until with the last row.

That said, you really don’t want to do the comparison in Java. Just make use of the SQL WHERE clause. That’s much more efficient and really the task a DB is supposed to do. Don’t try to take over the DB’s work in Java, it’s only going to be inefficient.

public boolean exists(String username, String password) throws SQLException {
    Connection connection = null;
    PreparedStatement preparedStatement = null;
    ResultSet resultSet = null;
    boolean exists = false;

    try {
        connection = database.getConnection();
        preparedStatement = connection.prepareStatement("SELECT id FROM client WHERE username = ? AND password = ?");
        preparedStatement.setString(1, username);
        preparedStatement.setString(2, password);
        resultSet = preparedStatement.executeQuery();
        exists = resultSet.next();
    } finally {
        close(resultSet);
        close(preparedStatement);
        close(connection);
    }

    return exists;
}

You see that I made a few enhancements:

1. Use preparedstatement.
2. Do not use equalsignorecase. A password of “FooBar” should NOT be the same as “foobar”.
3. Gently acquire and close resources in same scope to avoid leaking.
4. Have it in an independent and reuseable non-static DAO method.
