The first batch call from java works. The hook.cmd is called, the statement.sql is generated.
Yes, the Java program uses JDBC to access the database, and write and read to the very same database. The idea of the hook is, that the service makes a lot of things, mostly writes in the db, and when it is done calls the hook saying I'm ready. The hook now can do whatever we need, calling another service, calling another program, getting information the other program needs directly from the database.

The first batch call from java works. The hook.cmd is called, the statement.sql is generated.
Yes, the Java program uses JDBC to access the database, and write and read to the very same database.
