Error in calling Stored procedure returns REFCURSOR

Question

Hi,
I've written a oracle stored procedure returning REFCURSOR. say,extractorderdespatchconfirmsp('','','','','','H1','ACG','','','','',:rc).
Following statement throwing error.
CallableStatement cs = con.PrepareCall("{extractorderdespatchconfirmsp('','','','','','H1','ACG','','','','',:rc)}");
rs = cs.executeQuery();
Could you rectify this problem and give me the currect code.

Your naming convention leaves a little to be desired.
String command = "{CALL extractorderdespatchconfirmsp(?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?)}";
CallableStatement cstmt = conn.prepareCall(command);
//set the variables here ie, dates need to be a timestamp format. use set timestamp.
cstmt.setInt(1, 2);
cstmt.setString(2, "a string");
cstmt.setInt(3, 0);
//for return values
cstmt.registerOutParameter(3, Types.INTEGER);
cstmt.registerOutParameter(2, Types.INTEGER);
cstmt.execute();
int status = cstmt.getInt(3);
int status2 = cstmt.getInt(2);
cstmt.close();
It took me awhile too to get JDBC to call these right.
