Java.lang.AbstractMethodError: oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDatabaseMetaData.lo

Question

I am evaluating the sun RI of javax.sql package . I downloaded the jdbc_rowset_tiger-1_0_1-mrel-jwsdp.zip package and installed in my machine.
I tried the JdbcRowSet implmenation and it worked pretty smooth. I wanted to try the disconnected Rowset implementation. I tried CachedRowSet Implementation with thin driver. I get the following error message.
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.AbstractMethodError: oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDatabaseMetaData.locatorsUpdateCopy()Z
at com.sun.rowset.CachedRowSetImpl.execute(Unknown Source)
at com.sun.rowset.CachedRowSetImpl.execute(Unknown Source)
at CachedRowSetSampl.main(CachedRowSetSampl.java:79)
I am using thin driver with Oracle8i db.
Appreciate any early responses

Answer 1

I had the same problem initially.
I fixed it by downloading an updated ojdbc14.jar (1).
It may be because I downloaded the ocrs12.jar from there a bit earlier and the versions of ojdbc14.jar and ocrs12.jar need to match (that is, come from the Oracle10g suite of jars).
Here is the class I used:
import java.sql.*;
import javax.sql.*;
import com.sun.rowset.WebRowSetImpl;
import com.sun.rowset.providers.RIXMLProvider;
public class test {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    try {
      Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver");
      WebRowSetImpl wrs = new WebRowSetImpl();
      wrs.setCommand("select table_name from user_tables");
      wrs.setUsername("scott");
      wrs.setPassword("tiger");
      wrs.setUrl("jdbc:oracle:thin:@paramount.com:1521:ORCL");
      wrs.execute();
      wrs.writeXml(System.out);
    } catch (Exception e) {
      System.out.println("Exception:"+e);
