Java Iterator backed by a ResultSet

Question

I\'ve got a class that implements Iterator with a ResultSet as a data member. Essentially the class looks like this:

public class A implements Iterator{
            


        

Answer 1

Here's my iterator that wraps a ResultSet. The rows are returned in the form a Map. I hope you'll find it helpful. The strategy is that I always bring one element in advance.

public class ResultSetIterator implements Iterator> {

    private ResultSet result;
    private ResultSetMetaData meta;
    private boolean hasNext;

    public ResultSetIterator( ResultSet result ) throws SQLException {
        this.result = result;
        meta = result.getMetaData();
        hasNext = result.next();
    }

    @Override
    public boolean hasNext() {
        return hasNext;
    }

    @Override
    public Map next() {
        if (! hasNext) {
            throw new NoSuchElementException();
        }
        try {
            Map next = new LinkedHashMap<>();
            for (int i = 1; i <= meta.getColumnCount(); i++) {
                String column = meta.getColumnName(i);
                Object value = result.getObject(i);
                next.put(column,value);
            }
            hasNext = result.next();
            return next;
        }
        catch (SQLException ex) {
            throw new RuntimeException(ex);
        }
    }
}
