Re: web app paging through results

This sure sounds like a leak.  You have a reference to the result set in
your session data.  The result set (both the Java object and the actual
object in the database) will not be cleaned up until the reference goes
away.  There are some techniques you could use to detect idle result sets
and clean them up, but if you don't do something that resource will be in
use.  In the worst case it will be in use until the web server is
restarted.

Subject:  web app paging through results



I am implementing an order status lookup for our salesmen and plan to
use the JDBC 2.0 scrollable result set for this.  What I'm thinking of
doing is passing the result set around in a session variable, so the
user can just hit "next 10" and "previous 10"; the session would also
keep track of "page number", which I could use for ResultSet.absolute()
when displaying each page.

My question is, what happens if the user just goes to a different site
instead of exiting this function?  What happens to the ResultSet? Is
this a resource leak on the '400?  How is this sort of thing usually
handled?
