Execute query with {} gives NullpointerException

Question

Hi,
I am facing a deployment trouble. I want to deploy a java Stored procedure over 100 Db.
So I tried to do it with a Java / JDBC program.
The String I want to execute is :
CREATE OR REPLACE AND COMPILE JAVA SOURCE NAMED "SystemUtil" AS
import java.lang.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;
public class SystemUtil {
The JDBC Command :
try {
Stmt = Conn.getOracleConnection().createStatement();
Stmt.executeUpdate(SQLStmt);
} catch (SQLException E) {
throw new EStmtException (Constante.ERROR_EXECUTE ,Conn,SQLStmt,E);
I have tested executeUpdate and execute with the same Error : NullPointerException.
Here is the stack trace:
aused by: java.lang.NullPointerException
at oracle.jdbc.driver.T4C8Oall.getNumRows(T4C8Oall.java:870)
at oracle.jdbc.driver.T4CStatement.executeForRows(T4CStatement.java:952)
at oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleStatement.doExecuteWithTimeout(OracleStatement.java:1168)
at oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleStatement.executeUpdateInternal(OracleStatement.java:1614)
at oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleStatement.executeUpdate(OracleStatement.java:1579)
Java 5.0 and Oracle ojdbc14.jar commingfrom 10.2.0.1 database.

I filed SR 6103513.994 for a related bug, but this is an important extension.
If the driver's JDBC SQL extension parser finds '{......]' in active SQL, there
is a question about whether the driver should throw a parser exception or
pass the substring unaltered to the DBMS... I suppose your case is not a
clear bug, but my SR example was egregious:
Statement s = c.createStatement();
String sql = "select 'brackets' from dual -- SQL comment with {?} in it";
s.executeQuery(sql).close();
That fails because the driver should be stopping it's parsing from the '--' until
the end-of-line, but isn't.
