Alrighty guys and gals, see if you can solve this one! (Or direct me to the CORRECT forum :)

I've trying to call PreparedStatement.getParameterMetaData, but am having no success. Check it out (I've reproduced in a small app):

TABLE:
create table a(b varchar(10));

JAVA CODE:
import java.sql.*;
import java.lang.*;

public class test {
public static void main(String[] args)
throws ClassNotFoundException, SQLException {
String driver = "interbase.interclient.Driver";
String url = "jdbc:interbase://localhost/C:\\pathTo\\TEST.GDB";
String username = "sysdba";
String password = "masterkey";

Class.forName(driver);
Connection con =
DriverManager.getConnection(url, username, password);
String insert = "INSERT INTO A(B) VALUES (?);";
PreparedStatement ps = con.prepareStatement(insert);
// !!!!! STACKS IT ON THIS LINE:
ParameterMetaData pmd = ps.getParameterMetaData();
}
}

ERROR MESSAGE:
$ java -cp ".;./interclient.jar" test
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.AbstractMethodError: interbase.interclient.PreparedStatement.getParameterMetaData()Ljava/sql/ParameterMetaData;
at test.main(test.java:17)

So, what's all this about then? Apparently, I shouldn't get AbstractMethodError's (according to javadoc API).

Help appreciated!
