package com.struts.friends;

throws Exception {
System.out.println("I'm in FriendAction");
FriendForm friendForm = (FriendForm) form;
ActionErrors errors=new ActionErrors();
try {

ResultSet rs1 = null;

Collection friends = new Vector();
System.out.println("*********"+request.getAttribute("personId"));
int personid =

System.out.println("++++++++++++++++personid:"+personid);
String query = "select * from Friends where friendid in"+
"(select friendid from personfriends,person where"+
" personfriends.personid="+personid+")";
System.out.println("Query2:"+query);
rs1 = stmt.executeQuery(query);
while(rs1.next()){

friend.setFriendId(rs1.getInt("FriendID"));
System.out.println("FriendID:"+friend.getFriendId());

// on next line i get SQLException invalid descriptor index but column name
& data type match exactly

System.out.println("1stName:"+rs1.getString("FirstName"));

}
//friendForm.setFriends(friends);
return mapping.findForward("success");
}catch(Exception e){
e.printStackTrace();
errors.add(ActionErrors.GLOBAL_ERROR,new ActionError("errors.noFriends"));
return mapping.findForward("success");
}
}
