Re: maybe a serialization error?

Felipe,

In looking at the code the most likely cause of this error is that your
code is working with the ResultSet after it has been closed.  That is
the only reason I can see that would generate a NullPointerException
when calling the beforeFirst() method.

thanks,

erroroccurs when I try fetch data from it. Why? I guess it's a serialization issue, because I'm sure this query returns
data...
