First, you called the data source DefaultDS - this is the same name used for the data source in hsqldb-ds.xml. Did you remove that file? If not, then your data source probably did not deploy and you code is attempting to access the hsql database. Second, the code you posted is looking ofr a table named 'db' while your earlier post mentioned table 'quest_choices'. Therefore I suspect that this is not the code causing the error. Now I am biting my tongue really hard to keep from commenting on seeing server-side script code in a JSP.
