JdbcTemplate queryForList return value in case of no results

Question

The question is pretty much summed up in the title. What will JdbcTemplate.queryForList() return when the query returns no results. Will it return an empty List or null value? I couldn't find a definitive answer from the documentation. Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

The javadoc states that it will return

a List of objects that match the specified element type

If there's no element, the list is empty.

Answer 2

It will return an empty list. So you can test it with list.isEmpty(). It will return true in this case.
