For anyone interested, I have solved it with the following code:

import interbase.interclient.PreparedStatement;
import interbase.interclient.ParameterMetaData;

import java.sql.SQLException;
import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.DriverManager;
import java.sql.Types;


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 = (PreparedStatement)con.prepareStatement(insert);
ParameterMetaData pmd = ps.getParameterMetaData();
}
}

Basically, the key was to cast the PreparedStatement to the interbase.interclient version of PreparedStatement.

Cheers,
Raymond
