Java (JDBC) : Alternatives for iteration of query results [ while(resultSet.next()) ]

I'm searching for any alternative for this :

while(resultSet.next()){

}

Any brief annotation and answer is welcome.

You could make a ResultSetIterator:

class ResultSetIterator implements Iterator<ResultSet> {

    private final ResultSet r;
    private ResultSet next = null;

    public ResultSetIterator(ResultSet r) {
        this.r = r;
    }

    @Override
    public boolean hasNext() {
        if (next == null) {
            try {
                if (r.next()) {
                    next = r;
                }
            } catch (SQLException ex) {
                // NB: Log this error.
            }
        }
        return next != null;
    }

    @Override
    public ResultSet next() {
        ResultSet n = next;
        next = null;
        return n;
    }

}

Then - with careful avoidance of repeating the iterator - perhaps using a SingleUseIterable:

/**
 * Makes sure the iterator is never used again - even though it is wrapped in an Iterable.
 *
 * @param <T>
 */
public static class SingleUseIterable<T> implements Iterable<T> {

    protected boolean used = false;
    protected final Iterator<T> it;

    public SingleUseIterable(Iterator<T> it) {
        this.it = it;
    }

    public SingleUseIterable(Iterable<T> it) {
        this(it.iterator());
    }

    @Override
    public Iterator<T> iterator() {
        if (used) {
            throw new IllegalStateException("SingleUseIterable already invoked");
        }
        used = true;
        // Only let them have it once.
        return it;
    }

}

/**
 * Adapts an {@link Iterator} to an {@link Iterable} for use in enhanced for loops.
 *
 * If {@link Iterable#iterator()} is invoked more than once, an {@link IllegalStateException} is thrown.
 *
 * @param <T>
 * @param i
 * @return
 */
public static <T> Iterable<T> in(final Iterator<T> i) {
    return new SingleUseIterable<>(i);
}

You can now do:

public void test() {
    ResultSet resultSet = null;
    // ...
    try {
        for (ResultSet r : in(new ResultSetIterator(resultSet))) {
            // We're there.
        }

    } finally {
        if (resultSet != null) {
            resultSet.close();
        }

    }
}

Which is much more elegant. Remember to close your ResultSet.

You can retrieve a result without looping using the getString(int columnIndex) or getString(String columnLabel) methods, for example:

resultSet.next();
String name = resultSet.getString("name");

Or with index:

 resultSet.next();
String name = resultSet.getString(1);

I recommend Spring JPA or Hibernate.
