Java Database Connectivity (JDBC)

Hi!

I'm using the latest MySQL driver (org.gjt.mm.mysql) and JDK1.4. After an INSERT I want the inserted ID. I found the method Statement.getGeneratedKeys() but if I try the following code I'll get an exception. Is this function not implemented in the MySQL drivers? Or what is wrong?

query = "INSERT ........";
PreparedStatement ps = connection.prepareStatement(query,Statement.RETURN_GENERATED_KEYS); //
try {
result = ps.execute();
ResultSet rs = ps.getGeneratedKeys();

int columns = rs.getMetaData().getColumnCount();

while (rs.next()) {
for (int i=1;i<=columns;i++) {
System.out.println(rs.getMetaData().getColumnName(i)+":"+rs.getString(i));
}
}
rs.close();
rs = null;
} catch (NullPointerException npe) {
error("NullPointerException durch die Query '"+query+"'",npe);
}
ps.close();
ps = null;

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.AbstractMethodError:

If I use connection.prepareStatement(query) without the auto_incremented_id constant and ask for getGeneratedKeys() I'll get the same exception (but with undefined getGeneratedKeys() method). If I don't call it, anything is OK, but a following SELECT id FROM... is very slow (XX minutes - because the database is very big) and I want avoid this...
