I am trying to develop generic DAO in java.I have tried the following.Is this a good way to implement generic dao?I dont want to use hibernate.I am trying to make it as generic as possible so that i dont have to repeate the same code again and again.

public abstract class  AbstractDAO<T> {



    protected ResultSet findbyId(String tablename, Integer id){
        ResultSet rs= null;
        try {
           // the following lins in not working;
            pStmt = cn.prepareStatement("SELECT * FROM "+ tablename+ "WHERE id = ?");
            pStmt.setInt(1, id);
            rs = pStmt.executeQuery();


        } catch (SQLException ex) {
            System.out.println("ERROR in findbyid " +ex.getMessage() +ex.getCause());
            ex.printStackTrace();
        }finally{
            return rs;
        }

    }

}

Now i have

public class UserDAO extends AbstractDAO<User>{

  public List<User> findbyid(int id){
   Resultset rs =findbyid("USERS",id) //USERS is tablename in db
   List<Users> users = convertToList(rs);
   return users; 
}


 private List<User> convertToList(ResultSet rs)  {
        List<User> userList= new ArrayList();
        User user= new User();;
        try {
            while (rs.next()) {
                user.setId(rs.getInt("id"));
                user.setUsername(rs.getString("username"));
                user.setFname(rs.getString("fname"));
                user.setLname(rs.getString("lname"));
                user.setUsertype(rs.getInt("usertype"));
                user.setPasswd(rs.getString("passwd"));
                userList.add(user);
            }
        } catch (SQLException ex) {
            Logger.getLogger(UserDAO.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
        }

        return userList;

    }
}
