Java SQL error 1064

I'm having trouble with some simple code but can't figure out what exactly I am doing wrong. Following is my code:

String userName = "username";
        String password = "password";
        String url = "jdbc:mysql://computername/proejct";
        Connection conn=null;
        String value="some_value";

        try 
        {
            Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver").newInstance();
            conn = DriverManager.getConnection(url, userName, password);

            String query1=  "SELECT * FROM table  WHERE column_Name=?";
            PreparedStatement psmt1 = conn.prepareStatement(query1);
            psmt1.setString(1, value);

            Boolean count=psmt1.execute(query1);
            if(count==false)
            {
                //do something
            }
            psmt1.close();

        }
        catch (Exception e) 
        {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

And this is the error I am getting:

  com.mysql.jdbc.JDBC4PreparedStatement@5f989f84: SELECT * FROM source2  WHERE File_Name='Messages.java'

Am I doing something wrong with the preparedstements ?

I printed out the prepare-statement, this is what it looks like: SELECT * FROM source2 WHERE column_Name='Messages.java'

Based on this line:

check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '?' at line 1

it looks like you statement is not being prepared. The ? is being sent to MySQL.

I think this:

Boolean count=psmt1.execute(query1);

should be (edit)

ResultSet count=psmt1.executeQuery();
