How to Convert Java List or ArrayList into ResultSet
At this project i found an obstacle, which i need to convert a reporting module from fetching data from database into fetching data from Webservices. At first I think it was easy, I just fetch strings from Webservice, and put it in a bean or in a map and put it all in an ArrayList, just like JasperReport. But I forgot, this isn’t JasperReport I’m using, I’m using bloody hell CrystalReport. And my Crystal-Report-calling method only accepting ResultSet for parameter, so somehow I need to convert strings from webservice into ResultSet.
My idea is adding strings from webservices into an ArrayList<Object> and adding this ArrayList into ArrayList<ArrayList<Object>> and converting it into rows of ResultSet. And im using MockRunner library to help me. This is how I do it :
I create a class to convert a list into result set
package com.edw.rs;
import com.mockrunner.mock.jdbc.MockResultSet;
import java.sql.ResultSet;
import java.util.List;
/**
*
* @author edw
*/
public class MyResultSet {
public ResultSet getResultSet(List<String> headers, List<List<Object>> data) throws Exception {
// validation
if (headers == null || data == null) {
throw new Exception("null parameters");
}
if (headers.size() != data.size()) {
throw new Exception("parameters size are not equals");
}
// create a mock result set
MockResultSet mockResultSet = new MockResultSet("myResultSet");
// add header
for (String string : headers) {
mockResultSet.addColumn(string);
}
// add data
for (List<Object> list : data) {
mockResultSet.addRow(list);
}
return mockResultSet;
}
}
and i tested it with my junit class
package com.edw.rs.test;
import com.edw.rs.MyResultSet;
import java.sql.ResultSet;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
import org.apache.log4j.Logger;
import org.junit.Test;
/**
*
* @author edw
*/
public class MyResultSetTest {
private Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(MyResultSetTest.class);
public MyResultSetTest() {
}
@Test
public void testMyResultSet() throws Exception {
MyResultSet myResultSet = new MyResultSet();
List<String> headers = new ArrayList<String>();
headers.add("id");
headers.add("name");
headers.add("salary");
headers.add("age");
List<List<Object>> data = new ArrayList<List<Object>>();
for (int i = 0; i < 4; i++) {
List<Object> objects = new ArrayList<Object>();
objects.add(new Integer(i));
objects.add("name " + i);
objects.add(new Double(i));
objects.add(new Integer(20 + i));
data.add(objects);
}
ResultSet rs = myResultSet.getResultSet(headers, data);
while (rs.next()) {
logger.debug(rs.getString("id"));
logger.debug(rs.getString(2));
logger.debug(rs.getDouble("salary"));
logger.debug(rs.getInt(4));
logger.debug("------------------------");
}
}
}
this is the result on my IDE console

this is my project structure, FYI im using Netbeans 6.9.
all i can say is, Thank You mockrunner, you saved my life.

about 8 years agoIt'is very good expirience, but U have little mistake in MyResultSet row 20. This test work correctly only in this sample. Correction: for (List list : data) { if (list.size()==headers.size()) { mockResultSet.addRow(list); } }

about 8 years agoHi Serge thank you for your comment, but could you elaborate more about class MyResultSet row 20? Because on row 20 is
if (headers.size() != data.size()) { throw new Exception("parameters size are not equals"); }AjAx
about 6 years agoHi Edwin, this method is so great, I've used it in my Class, otherwise there is one problem on the execpetion throwing on MyResultSet row 20, the if condition should not be the header size equals the data size but the data.list's size.

about 5 years agoSomething strange in line 20, if (headers.size() != data.size()) Do you want to compare header size with data size? I think the right comparison is between header size and data.list size.

about 5 years agoYes, sorry bib, i was wrong :D

about 4 years agoYou can also use the pojoSample.jar api which implements resultset.. Much more thorough solution. http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-6147

about 1 year agoHello Edwin, Greetings! Can you please share the code for "MockResultSet ". I am not able to add Column in the resultset and I want to refer your code for converting the arraylist to resultset.

about 8 months agothanks for the lovely article ...really helped a lot. i just converted the above code in scala import java.sql.ResultSet import com.mockrunner.mock.jdbc.MockResultSet import scala.collection.mutable.ListBuffer class MyResultSet { @throws[Exception] def getResultSet(headers: List[String], data: ListBuffer[List[Object]]): ResultSet = { // validation if (headers == null || data == null) throw new Exception("null parameters") if (headers.size != data.size) throw new Exception("parameters size are not equals") // create a mock result set val mockResultSet = new MockResultSet("myResultSet") // add header for (clmn <- headers) { mockResultSet.addColumn(clmn) } // add data import scala.collection.JavaConversions._ for (list <- data) { mockResultSet.addRow(list) } mockResultSet } } import scala.collection.mutable.ListBuffer object TestMockResultSet { def main(args: Array[String]): Unit = { val myResultSet: MyResultSet = new MyResultSet val headers = List("id","name","salary","age") var data = new ListBuffer[List[Object]] for (i <- 0 to 3) { val objects:List[Object] = List(new Integer(i),"name"+i,new Integer(i),new Integer(20+i)) data += objects } val rs = myResultSet.getResultSet(headers, data) while(rs.next()){ println(rs.getObject("id")) println(rs.getObject("name")) println(rs.getObject("age")) } } }
