Uncaught Throwable java.lang.AbstractMethodError: org.apache.commons.dbcp.PoolingDataSource$PoolGuardConnectionWrapper.createArrayOf

Question

I getting below error while trying to call con.createArrayOf method on Microsoft SQL server with datasource pool connection

Uncaught Throwable java.lang.AbstractMethodError: org.apache.commons.dbcp.PoolingDataSource$PoolGuardConnectionWrapper.createArrayOf(Ljava/lang/String;[Ljava/lang/Object;)Ljava/sql/Array;

Any lead would be appreciable.

Answer 1

Basically, you can't use the createArrayOf method with your current library. You'll have to use a different database driver library.

You could use something like https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/connect/jdbc/microsoft-jdbc-driver-for-sql-server since you're using SQL Server.

Answer 2

The error suggests you are using Apache DBCP 1.3 or older, as the method you are trying to call was introduced in JDBC 4 (Java 6), while Apache DBCP 1.3 supports JDBC 3 (Java 1.4/5).

Given the overview at https://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-dbcp/ you need to use at minimum Apache DBCP 1.4, or a newer version (the latest is 2.7.0, for Java 8 and higher).

Note though that upgrading won't help you much, because the Microsoft SQL Server JDBC driver implementation of createArrayOf will throw a SQLFeatureNotSupportedException as SQL Server doesn't support arrays.
