i am not bale to solve this problem since two weeks

i am trying to access records from mysql database using jsp. inside this jsp program i wrote all my JDBC code. it is working very nicely and displaying records.

now i wrote all the JDBC code in .java and i am accessing that code in jsp file. but this time i am getting only exceptions not records. i am keeping my programs here. please crosscheck once and tell where i am wrong

code

connect.java
-------------------





package connection;
import java.sql.DriverManager;
import java.sql.Connection;
import java.io.*;
public class connect
{
Connection conn;
public connect()
{
try{
Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");
}
catch(Exception e)
{
System.out.println(e);
}
}
public Connection getConnection()
{
try{
conn=DriverManager.getConnection("mysql:mysql://localhost/hello","root","root");
}catch(Exception e)
{
System.out.println(e);
}
return conn;
}
}

---------------------------------------------------------------
SqlBean.java
---------------



package sq;

import connection.*;
import java.sql.*;

public class SqlBean
{
Connection con=null;

public SqlBean()
{
connect c=new connect();
con=c.getConnection();
}

// it is used to select the records based on Query
public ResultSet selection(String query)
{
ResultSet rs=null;
try
{
Statement st=con.createStatement();
rs=st.executeQuery(query);
//return rs;
}
catch(Exception e)
{
System.out.println(e);
}

return rs;
}

}

--------------------------------------------------

test.jsp
-------------



<%@ page import="java.sql.*" session="false" %>
<jsp:useBean id="s" class="sq.SqlBean" scope="page" >
<% ResultSet rs=s.selection("select name from how");

while ( rs.next() )
{
out.println(rs.getString(1));
}
%>
</jsp:useBean>


and the exceptions what i am getting is
