And then my beans…
StudentBean.java
package my.beans;
public class StudentBean {

private String firstName;

}

return lastName;
}
// get/set for comment

}
public String getComment(){
return comment;
}
// get/set for Email
public void setEmail(String em) {

}
public String getEmail(){
return email;
}
}
StudentDataBean.java
package my.beans;

rowSet.execute();

// return an ArrayList of StudnetBeans
public ArrayList<StudentBean> getStudentList() throws SQLException{

rowSet.beforeFirst(); // move cursor before the first row
// get row data
while (rowSet.next()){

student.setFirstName(rowSet.getString(1));
student.setLastName(rowSet.getString(2));
student.setEmail(rowSet.getString(3));

studentList.add( student );
} // end while
return studentList;
} // end method getStudentList
// insert a Student in student database
public void addStudent(StudentBean student) throws SQLException

rowSet.insertRow(); // insert row to rowSet

try{
rowSet.acceptChanges();
}
catch(Exception e){
System.out.println("Exception caught at line 67: " + e);
}
}
}
Problem solved: it was an error with my java conventions not matching.
