how to handle java.lang.AbstractMethodError: com.mysql.jdbc.JDBC4CallableStatement.closeOnCompletion()

Question

I am using mysql-connector-java-5.1.20-bin.jar with jdk7 and tomcat7 but my code is giving abstractMethodError while executing callableStatement.closeOnCompletion().Code is given below :

try {

    Session session = HibernateUtil.currentSession();
    CallableStatement st = session.connection().prepareCall(
    "{call getOfflineNodes('" + strDevice + "',"
    + System.currentTimeMillis() + "," + polltime + ","+ status + ")}");
    ResultSet rs = st.executeQuery();
    Transaction tx = session.beginTransaction();
    st.closeOnCompletion();
    tx.commit();
    HibernateUtil.closeSession();
    return rs;
}

and complete exception is :

can anybody tell me why this exception is coming and how to handle this.

code where i am using this returned resultSet is :

timer.scheduleAtFixedRate(new TimerTask() {
          public void run()
          {
            String bladeMacs = "";

                ServerConfigurationService.getProperty("blade.refresh.time"));

              Calendar callendar = Calendar.getInstance();

              String strblade = "";
              String strvm = "";
              String Ip = "";
              ResultSet BladeRs = (ResultSet)DMLLayer.getOfflineNodes(
                "Blade", poll, 1);
              if (BladeRs != null) {
                boolean isBladeAlive = false;
                int x = 0;
                try {
                  while (BladeRs.next()) {

                    String mac = BladeRs.getString("macAddress");
                    String ip = BladeRs.getString("Ip");
                    isBladeAlive = 
                      EchoUDPClientDiscoveryObjectResponse.echo(InetAddress.getByName(BladeRs
                      .getString("Ip")), 6502, "any", 
                      3, 500);

                    if (!isBladeAlive) {

                      if (x > 0)
                      {
                        strblade = strblade + "\n";
                        bladeMacs = bladeMacs + "\n";
                      }

                      strblade = strblade + ip;
                      x = 2;
                      bladeMacs = bladeMacs + mac;
                    }
                    else
                    {
                        String query = "update DiscoveredNode set DateModified=:DateModified where MacAddress=:MacAddress";

                      ShutBladeAlertService.objTypeVector.removeAllElements();
                      ShutBladeAlertService.objFieldVector.removeAllElements();
                      ShutBladeAlertService.objValueVector.removeAllElements();

                      ShutBladeAlertService.objTypeVector.add("Long");
                      ShutBladeAlertService.objFieldVector.add("DateModified");
                      ShutBladeAlertService.objValueVector.add(
                        Long.valueOf(System.currentTimeMillis()));
                      ShutBladeAlertService.objTypeVector.add("String");
                      ShutBladeAlertService.objFieldVector.add("MacAddress");
                      ShutBladeAlertService.objValueVector.add(mac);

                      DMLLayer.runUpdateQuery(query, 
                        ShutBladeAlertService.objFieldVector, ShutBladeAlertService.objValueVector, 
                        ShutBladeAlertService.objTypeVector);
                    }
                  }

                  BladeRs.close();

                }
                catch (Exception ex1) {
                  ex1.printStackTrace();
                }

              }
          }
      }

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

closeOnCompletion() exists since Java 7. And the driver has been implemented with a previous version of the interface. So this method is not implemented by the MySQL driver.

Find if a more recent version exists with support for this method (but it doesn't seem to exist), or avoid calling this method.
