Getting multiple table schema and returning them, using one helper method












0












$begingroup$


I want to get two distinct sets of schema from a database without having to create multiple Connection/PreparedStatement/ResultSet objects.



Currently, I have a helper method that queries the database, gets each individual schema, and then returns them together in one ArrayList - please refer to the code below.



private ArrayList<ArrayList<?>> getAttributesAndGroups() {
ArrayList<ArrayList<?>> retList = new ArrayList<ArrayList<?>>();

Connection conn = null;
try {
Class.forName("com.mysql.cj.jdbc.Driver");
conn = DriverManager.getConnection(jdbcUrl, userId, password);

ArrayList<Attribute> listAttrs = new ArrayList<Attribute>();
String query = "select aid, aname from tbl_attributes order by aid";
PreparedStatement ps = conn.prepareStatement(query);
ResultSet rs = ps.executeQuery();
while (rs.next()) {
int aid = rs.getInt(1);
String aname = rs.getString(2);
Attribute attr = new Attribute(aid, aname);
listAttrs.add(attr);
}
retList.add(listAttrs);

ArrayList<Group> listGroups = new ArrayList<Group>();
query = "select gid, gname from tbl_groups order by gid";
ps = conn.prepareStatement(query);
rs = ps.executeQuery();
while (rs.next()) {
int gid = rs.getInt(1);
String gname = rs.getString(2);
Group grp = new Group(gid, gname);
listGroups.add(grp);
}
retList.add(listGroups);

rs.close();
ps.close();

} catch (Exception e) {
log.error("Exception", e);
} finally {
if (conn != null) {
try {
conn.close();
} catch (Exception e) {
//
}
}
}

return retList;
}


Where I call my helper method, I do the following:



    ArrayList<ArrayList<?>> lists = getAttributesAndGroups();

ArrayList<Attribute> listAttrs = (ArrayList<Attribute>) lists.get(ATTRIBUTES);
request.setAttribute("listAttrs", listAttrs);

ArrayList<Group> listGroups = (ArrayList<Group>) lists.get(GROUPS);
request.setAttribute("listGroups", listGroups);

request.getRequestDispatcher("addUser.jsp").forward(request, response);


(ATTRIBUTES and GROUPS are simple integer constants representing 0 and 1 respectively.)



However, my code is giving me warnings of Type safety: Unchecked cast from ArrayList<capture#1-of ?> to ArrayList<Attribute> (ditto for the other line).



Is there a better approach for what I want to do?
