It appears that at line 2097 in JdbcRowSetImpl.java (which I think is int rstype = rs.getType()) a NPE is thrown even though I setType() for JdbcRowSetImpl to ResultSet.TYPE_FORWARD_ONLY. This is because when using the constructor JdbcRowSetImpl(strUrl,strUserId, strPassword) without executing a statement, ResultSet is null and its type is also null. So calling getType(), even though it was set before throws NPE.

TEST SRC SNIPPET:

111            jrs1 = new JdbcRowSetImpl(strUrl,strUserId, strPassword);
112            jrs1.setType(ResultSet.TYPE_FORWARD_ONLY);
113            logMsg("Type set to: "+ ResultSet.TYPE_FORWARD_ONLY);
114
115            logMsg("Type is: "+ResultSet.TYPE_FORWARD_ONLY);
116
117            if(jrs1.getType() == ResultSet.TYPE_FORWARD_ONLY) {
118                logMsg("Test for Type passes...");
119            } else {
120                logMsg("Test for Type fails...");
121                throw new TestFailureException("JdbcRowSet test fails");
122            }
123        } catch (SQLException sqle) {
124            logErr("SQL Exception encountered " + sqle.getMessage());
125            throw new TestFailureException("JdbcRowSet Test failed", sqle);
126        } catch (Exception e) {
127            logErr("Unexpected Exception " + e.getMessage());
128            throw new TestFailureException("JdbcRowSet Test failed", e);
129        }
