Thread: Need help with error message!!

I am receiving the following error message when I compile my code and I have no idea how to fix it. Please help.

The result of the code is to read data from a database and display the contents in a Jtextarea window. The Jtextarea window generates, but no data is displayed.

It is in this section here: Specifically, the line in red.


public final class DonorViewerTopComponent extends TopComponent {

public DonorViewerTopComponent() {
initComponents();
setName(Bundle.CTL_DonorViewerTopComponent());
setToolTipText(Bundle.HINT_DonorViewerTopComponent ());
EntityManager entityManager = Persistence.createEntityManagerFactory("DonorInfoL ibraryPU").createEntityManager();
Query query = entityManager.createNamedQuery("Donors.findAll");
List<Donors> resultList = query.getResultList();
for (Donors c : resultList) {
jTextArea1.append(c.getName() + " (" + c.getAmount() + "(" + c.getCharity() +")" + "\n");
}

The list should just display the names of the donors, their donation amount, and the charity name. Those are the only 3 fields in the database under the "donors" table.

The data is just text data from a database file. VARCHAR is the type.

Is that what you are asking?

Sorry.... I'm not understanding. The getResultList() method is defined to return string data in a query.

What does the code need to say in order to pull the data from the database?

its giving you an error because something is flawed in your when you call List<Donors> resultList = query.getResultList(); the compiler says it requires java.util.List<donorinfo.Donors> but it is finding only java.util.List... i suggest taking a look at the donorinfo.Donor package that you are importing

Can you ask some help from the person that wrote the code you are working with?

No one helped me build the code. I'm using NetBeans IDe and their CRUD tutorial to build the project.

I just noticed another error message in the output window that says: "Internal Exception: java.sql.SQLException: No suitable driver found for jdbc:derby://localhost:1527/Donor Info"

Donor Info is the name of the database. I pointed the IDE to the name of the derbyclient.jar file in the NetBeans folder that it created for this file. Specifically: "...Documents\SampleCRUDApp\build\cluster\modules\ ext"

Since I am not getting any compile errors, and since the text area window is opening okay (but not displaying any data), i am assuming the derbyclient.jar file is the issue.

How can I get this jar file issue fixed?

How do I define it to return the List <Donors> object?
