Cuando corro el siguiente servlet:

<code>// package projectcodes;
public void doPost(HttpServletRequest request,HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException,IOException {
    String UserID = request.getParameter("UserID");
    String UserPassword = request.getParameter("UserPassword");
    String userName = null;
    String Email = null;
    Encrypter encrypter = new Encrypter();
    String hashedPassword = null;
    try {
        hashedPassword = encrypter.hashPassword(UserPassword);
        Context context = new InitialContext();
        DataSource ds = (DataSource)context.lookup("java:comp/env/jdbc/photog");
        Connection connection = ds.getConnection();
        String sqlStatement = "SELECT email,firstname FROM registrationinformation WHERE password='" + hashedPassword + "'";
        PreparedStatement statement = connection.prepareStatement(sqlStatement);
        ResultSet set = statement.executeQuery();
        userName = set.getString(1);  // <<---------- Line number 28
        response.sendRedirect("portfolio_one.jsp");
        // userName = set.getString("FirstName");
        Email = set.getString(3);
        if(set.wasNull() || Email.compareTo(UserID) != 0) {
            // turn to the error page
            response.sendRedirect("LoginFailure.jsp");
        } else {
            // start the session and take to his homepage
            HttpSession session = request.getSession();
            session.setAttribute("UserName", userName);
            session.setMaxInactiveInterval(900); // If the request doesn't come withing 900 seconds the server will invalidate the session
            RequestDispatcher rd = request.getRequestDispatcher("portfolio_one.jsp");
            rd.forward(request, response); // forward to the user home-page
        }
    }catch(Exception exc) {
        System.out.println(exc);
    }

Los registros anteriores del servidor muestran que la línea número 28 es la causa de la excepción. Pero no puedo obtener el motivo de la excepción. Todas las columnas de la tabla tienen un tipo de datos de varchar.

He resaltado la línea número 28(causa de excepción según los registros del servidor) en el código del servlet.
