JDBC help

I'm just getting started with JDBC, does anyone know where I can get good
reference manuals for the methods.

While I have your attention, I want to write a procedure that will validate
that a record exists on a different machine.  I already have a procedure
that returns records back to the iSeries.

I was thinking that it would look something like this...

<code>
stmt = "select * from table";
If exists(stmt.executeQuery) { return true;}
else {return false;}
</code>

If that doesn't work, I'd imagine that I could just say     select top 1 *
from table   then check   rs.next

I'm just looking for the best performance on getting data from this
external machine.  Please advise...
