preparedstatement and metadata

[Adam Hardy]

Hi,

ParameterMetaData meta = prepStatement.getParameterMetaData();

is causing me problems.

java.lang.AbstractMethodError:
com.mysql.jdbc.jdbc2.PreparedStatement.getParameterMetaData()Ljava/sql/ParameterMetaData;
	at 
org.apache.commons.dbcp.DelegatingPreparedStatement.getParameterMetaData(DelegatingPreparedStatement.java:347)
	at org.blacksail.BaseFactory.read(BaseFactory.java:220)

This is new in java 1.4 - is it not possible to use it yet? I have 
mysql-java-connector-2.0.14.

Many thanks for any feedback.
Adam
