Java.sql.SQLException: перед запуском набора результатов

Я попробовал следующий код для получения изображения, хранящегося в базе данных. Я создал базу данных под названием image_db, которая содержит таблицу с именем image_details. Таблица имеет два поля: id и image_path, и оба имеют тип mediumblob. Я сохранил несколько изображений в поле image_path как двоичный. Теперь я хочу получить и отобразить его.

package cbir.imageAddition;
import java.awt.Image;
import java.awt.Toolkit;
import java.io.ByteArrayOutputStream;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStream;
import java.sql.ResultSet;
import java.sql.SQLException;
import java.sql.*;

enter code here

public class ImageRetrieve {

    public ImageRetrieve() throws SQLException, IOException, ClassNotFoundException
    {

        Connection con = null;
        Statement st = null;
        ResultSet rs = null;
        String url = "jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/";
        String db = "image_db";
        String driver = "com.mysql.jdbc.Driver";
        String user = "root";
        String pass = "root";

            Class.forName(driver);
            con = DriverManager.getConnection(url + db, user, pass);
            //System.out.println("Connection url : "+url + db);

            st = con.createStatement();
            String sql = "select image_path from image_details where id=1";
            rs = st.executeQuery(sql);

    InputStream stream = rs.getBinaryStream(2);
    ByteArrayOutputStream output = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
    int a1 = stream.read();
    while (a1 >= 0) {
      output.write((char) a1);
      a1 = stream.read();
    }
    Image myImage = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().createImage(output.toByteArray());
    output.close();

    }
}

При выполнении приведенного выше кода я получаю следующее исключение:

Как это вызвано и как я могу его решить?
