how to resolve org.postgresql.util.PSQLException: ResultSet not positioned properly, perhaps you need to call next.

Hi experts,

I have been trying to find a solution in the internet but there is only 1 solution offered by stackoverflow in which the user uses if it is not there then use a else to print out there is no more data/row that appeared in that column.

Basically, I was trying to get a List<String> which meet certain search condition so the data will come from 2 tables - one of which is a column from a join table and the List<String> falls under this table.

So, here's the code that I attempt to get the data out but keep getting ResultSet not positioned properly.

	String[] subjectNames = request.getParameterValues("txtsubjects");
			String zipcode = request.getParameter("location");
			List<String> subjList = new ArrayList<String>(Arrays.asList(subjectNames));			
			List<tutor> myList = new ArrayList<>();
			ArrayList<String> subList = new ArrayList<>();
			CopyOnWriteArrayList<String>newSub = new CopyOnWriteArrayList<String>(); 
			tutor t = new tutor();

			
			String sql1 = "select t.tutor_contact_no, t.zipcode, t.tutor_id, t2.subject_name FROM s_tutor t JOIN  tutor_subject t2  ON t.tutor_id = t2.tutor_id where t.zipcode = ?  And  t2.subject_name = Any((?))";
			
			PreparedStatement ps2 = connection.prepareStatement(sql1);
			ps2.setString(1, zipcode);
			for (int i = 0; i < subjectNames.length; i++) {
				Array array = connection.createArrayOf("text", subjList.toArray());
				ps2.setArray(2, array);
			}
			ResultSet rs = ps2.executeQuery();
			while (rs.next()) {		
				t.setContactNo(rs.getString("tutor_contact_no"));			
				t.setZipcode(rs.getString("zipcode"));
				t.settutor_id(rs.getInt("tutor_id"));			

			   
			    for (String s: subjList)
			        if (s.contains(rs.getString("subject_name")))
			          subjList.add(rs.getString("subject_name"));
			     	newSub.addAll(subjList);
}
myList.add(t);					
				request.setAttribute("tutors", myList);				       
				request.setAttribute("sub", newSub);	

Please.  I hope someone can tell me what's wrong with the code or how to overcome this error...I have been struggling for 2 weeks already.

Thanks.
