There are two ways you can do this:

1> wasNull() method, which indicates the last column read was null or not.
ex: if(rs.wasNull()) { ... }

2> Use the getObject(xx); and compare the values:
   Object o = rs.getObject("xxx");
   if(o == null) { ... }

Two Ways:

1> Use the wasNull() method on the ResultSet.

2> Use the getObject() method on the ResultSet and do the Comparision.

To my understanding, the question  isn't framed properly.

The answers given by two fellows above are ways to go around this situation but none eliminates the need to call wasNull().

Other views are appreciated !!!
