[SOLVED] How do I execute a SPARQL update on a Sesame RDF repository using a Java API?

Please, I have a a code and would want to update the repo with the new triples but the execute method gave some errors:

Below is my code:

public void temporalsendRIG(RepositoryConnection con) {
        ArrayList<String> userInputArrayList = new ArrayList<String>();
        populateArrayList(userInputArrayList);
        try {
            con = makeConnection(RemoteServer_url, Repository_id);
            String updateQuery = buildUpdateQuery(userInputArrayList);
            System.out.println(updateQuery);
            Update update = con.prepareUpdate(QueryLanguage.SPARQL,
                        updateQuery);
                        update.execute(); 


        } catch (MalformedQueryException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }catch (RepositoryException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }catch(UpdateExecutionException e){
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

    }

and below is the updateQuery string I am parsing:

public String buildUpdateQuery(ArrayList<String> arr){
    String updateQuery = 
        "PREFIX owl:<http://www.w3.org/2002/07/owl#> \n" + 
        "PREFIX rdf:<http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#>\n" +
        "DELETE \n" +
        "{ \n" +
             "?s ?p ?o.\n" +

            "}\n" +
            "INSERT \n" +
            "{\n" +
            "?s \n" +
                    "<http://localhost:9090/reservationService/onto/Reservation/bookerFirstName>" + "\"" + arr.get(0) + "\" ; \n"  +
                    "<http://localhost:9090/reservationService/onto/Reservation/cityOfInterest>" + "\"" + arr.get(1) + "\" ; \n" +
                    "<http://localhost:9090/reservationService/onto/Reservation/distanceToCityOfInterest>"  + "\"" + arr.get(2) + "\" ;\n" +
                    "<http://localhost:9090/reservationService/onto/Reservation/maximumShift>" + "\"" + arr.get(3) + "\" ; \n"  +
                    "<http://localhost:9090/reservationService/onto/Reservation/requiredAmountOfDays>" + "\"" + arr.get(4) + "\" ; \n" +
                    "<http://localhost:9090/reservationService/onto/Reservation/requiredBedrooms>" + "\"" + arr.get(5) + "\" ; \n" +
                    "<http://localhost:9090/reservationService/onto/Reservation/requiredDistanceToLake>"  + "\"" + arr.get(6) + "\" ; \n" +
                    "<http://localhost:9090/reservationService/onto/Reservation/requiredOccupacy>"  + "\"" + arr.get(7) + "\" ; \n" +
                    "<http://localhost:9090/reservationService/onto/Reservation/startingBookingDay>" + "\"" + arr.get(8) + "\" . \n" +

            "} \n" +
            "WHERE \n" +
            "{ \n" +
                " ?s rdf:type <http://sswapmeet.sswap.info/sswap/Subject>. \n" +
                " ?s ?p ?o. \n" +
                " FILTER NOT EXISTS  { ?s rdf:type  ?o  } \n" +
                 "FILTER NOT EXISTS  { ?s  <http://sswapmeet.sswap.info/sswap/mapsTo>  ?o  } \n" +
            "} \n"
             ;


            return updateQuery;
}

Finally, here is the error I am getting when I run the code :
