Right. My setup looks like this:
cstmt = sConn.prepareCall("{? = call sp_validate_pwd(?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?)}"); Basically, there are 5 inputs (username, password, IP address, browser type, and referer) and I'm supposed to get a return status back (bad or good) and 5 outputs: 3 booleans and 2 strings (isValid, isExceeded, isEnabled, name, and title). I've tried everything I can think of...only having 6 question marks, having all 11, only using 5, etc. to no avail. I enabled debug logging on the driver, and I get messages that say "parameter my_parameter not registers as output" or "not registered as input", even when they are, and regardless of how I use the set*() and registerOutParameter() methods. Very confusing. I'd love to find a complete stored procedures How-To somewhere that addresses complex stored procedures instead of the basic tutorials that do simple math or just insert a row. Thanks for the reply.

When you say it returns a status, do you mean it is a function (I work primarily with Oracle, so if this does not apply to MS I apologize)? If so, you need to make the call something like: CallableStatement stmt = conn.prepareCall("{call ? = proc(?,?, ... )}"); -----Original Message----- From: Turner, John [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, August 19, 2002 12:18 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: OFF-TOPIC: Pointers to CallableStatement docs? Hello - I think there is a java-user list, or even a jdbc-interest list, but I'd rather not subscribe when all I need is one quick pointer, so I am hoping someone on this list can get me started. I'm having quite a bit of difficulty working with stored procedures in my classes and servlets. The database is MS SQL Server 2000. I've read every single doc I can find, both at Sun, through Google, and even through the driver vendor's documentation. I even scammed some code from a JDBC 3.0 book (the only one I could find) at Border's, with still no luck. Can anyone point me to a resource that explains how to setup stored procedures in a CallableStatement correctly? I understand about registering the output parameters and setting the input types, and I understand that the parameters in a CallableStatement are numbered from left to right starting at 1. I've seen the examples at Sun, etc. but they're not much help. The problem is that all of the examples I can find deal with very simple, very rudimentary stored procedures, like finding the average of two numbers, or whatever. Our stored procedures are more involved than that. Example: a stored procedure used to validate logins. It has 5 input parameters, and 5 output parameters. It returns a status. According to the docs I have read so far, that means I should have a CallableStatement with 11 question marks ("?") in it (5 + 5 + 1 = 11). but that doesn't work, and I have tried every combination of inputs, outputs, input/outputs, etc. that I can think of, to no avail. Any help or pointers to resources that explain stored procedures and CallableStatements in more in-depth fashion would be greatly appreciated. - John ============================================ John Turner [EMAIL PROTECTED] | 248-488-3466 Advertising Audit Service http://www.aas.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
