Java Database Connectivity (JDBC)

Hi,

The snippet of code is like this ...!

preparedStatement = connection.prepareStatement("select count(1) as count from acf_users where acf_user_name like ? and acf_user_password like ?");
preparedStatement.setString(1,stringUsername);
preparedStatement.setString(2,stringPassword);
resultSet = preparedStatement.executeQuery() ;
System.out.println("The ResultSet Count checkUser() : "+resultSet.getString("count"));
preparedStatement.close();

But there is a SQLException like :

java.sql.SQLException: ResultSet.next was not called

I want to extract and check the count in the program..

Does anyone has the solution, comments on this.

Thanks in Advance,

-Sachin
