ResultSet How to get strin from object when data is null?



In my Oracle table there are columns with different type.








I want to read all columns as number.







String str = resultSet.getString("col1");







The problem is that if column in database is defined as number, and value is







0.5







The returned string will be







.5







I can not use any other getter like getDecimal and etc.





if I use:







String str = resultSet.getObject("col1").toString();







I'll get an exception if the value is null.

  1. You could use

    String str = String.valueOf(resultSet.getObject("col1"));


    as a simple workaround to avoid any exceptions. (Not sure why you can't use resultSet.getDouble("col1") though.)

  2. If you don't want to see an empty string rather than the literal "null" for a null value (which is what String.valueOf()) will produce, you can use:

    Object value = resultSet.getObject("col1")
    String str = value == null ? "" value.toString();

Wildcards in a hosts file

I want to setup my local development machine so that any requests for *.local are redirected to localhost . The idea is that as I develop multiple sites, I can just add vhosts to Apache called site1.local , site2.local etc, and have them all resolve to localhost , while Apache serves a different site accordingly.
