Cannot find symbol executequery

Question

I want to connect a MS Access database mis.accdb with my java file ShowData.java. Below is the contents of ShowData.java:

import java.beans.Statement;

import java.io.IOException;

import java.io.PrintWriter;

import java.sql.Connection;

import java.sql.DriverManager;

import java.sql.ResultSet;

import java.sql.SQLException;

import java.util.logging.Level;

import java.util.logging.Logger;

import javax.servlet.ServletException;

import javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet;

import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;

import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;

public class ShowData extends HttpServlet

{

public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request,HttpServletResponse response)throws ServletException,IOException

{

response.setContentType("text/html");

PrintWriter out=response.getWriter();

Connection con=null;

Statement st=null;

ResultSet rs=null;

try{

Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");

    try 

    {

        con=DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:mis");

    } catch (SQLException ex) 

    {

        Logger.getLogger(ShowData.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);

    }

st=(Statement) con.createStatement();

rs=st.executeQuery("select * from student");

out.println("<table border='1'><tr><th>Student ID</th><th>Student Name</th><th>Branch</th></tr>");

while(rs.next())

{

int sid=rs.getInt("StudId");

String snm=rs.getString("StudName");

String br=rs.getString("Branch");

out.println("<tr>");

out.println("<td>"+sid+"</td>");

out.println("<td>"+snm+"</td>");

out.println("<td>"+br+"</td>");

}

}

catch(ClassNotFoundException e)

{

out.println("Driver Loading Failed...");

}

catch(SQLException e)

{

out.println("Please Check SQL Query...");

}

}

}

When I implement this in IDE, it gives me the below error:

cannot find symbol

symbol: method executeQuery(String)

location: variable st of type Statement

Can anyone tell me why this happens and also help me to connect to the above specified MS Access Database mis.accdbin Netbeans? 

Answer 1

The import java.beans.Statement is wrong above. You also have to  remove the cast in below line:

st=(Statement) con.createStatement();
