关闭连接代码：

public static void close(Connection conn,Statement stmt,ResultSet rs){

try {
if(conn!=null)
conn=null;
conn.close();
} catch (SQLException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}

try {
if(stmt!=null)
stmt=null;
stmt.close();
} catch (SQLException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
try {
if(rs!=null)
rs=null;
rs.close();
} catch (SQLException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
}

上述红色区域报警告、不知道怎么回事。。。
------解决方案--------------------
每一次close()之前都被赋值为null,不空指针就怪了
------解决方案--------------------
conn=null;
conn.close();
你都null了。 null 在close？？
------解决方案--------------------
close之前，那那段附NULL值的代码去掉。都NULL值了还调用方法，不空指针异常的话就怪了。
