Jdbctemplate query for string: EmptyResultDataAccessException: Incorrect result size: expected 1, actual 0

Question

I am using Jdbctemplate to retrieve a single String value from the db. Here is my method.

    public String test() {
        String cert=null;
        Strin

In JdbcTemplate , queryForInt, queryForLong, queryForObject all such methods expects that executed query will return one and only one row. If you get no rows or more than one row that will result in IncorrectResultSizeDataAccessException . Now the correct way is not to catch this exception or EmptyResultDataAccessException, but make sure the query you are using should return only one row. If at all it is not possible then use query method instead.

List strLst  = getJdbcTemplate().query(sql,new RowMapper {

  public Object mapRow(ResultSet rs, int rowNum) throws SQLException {
        return rs.getString(1);
  }

});

if ( strLst.isEmpty() ){
  return null;
}else if ( strLst.size() == 1 ) { // list contains exactly 1 element
  return strLst.get(0);
}else{  // list contains more than 1 elements
  //your wish, you can either throw the exception or return 1st element.    
}
