Gettig SQLException while using CallableStatement

Question

Hi,
I am using Oracle 10 G JDBC Release 10.2.0.1.0 (ojdbc14.jar), I am getting SQLException while fetching next record from the resultset returned by a PLSQL procedure.The same code is working fine with classes12_g.jar
Here is the code,
          CallableStatement cStat = null;
          PreparedStatement stat1 = null;
          Connection con = null;
          String decryptedPassword     =     null;
          boolean isPasswordExpiryDateValid     =     false;
          String message     =     "";
          boolean authenticated     =     false;
          boolean passwordExpired     =     false;
          HashMap hashMap     =     new HashMap();
          ResultSet callRs = null;
          try
               con = getConnection();
               cStat = con.prepareCall("{? = call passWd.decrypt_password(?, 'JPRAXISPASS')}");
               cStat.registerOutParameter(1, java.sql.Types.VARCHAR);
               cStat.setString(2, encryptedPassword);
               callRs = cStat.executeQuery();
               if(callRs.next())               {
                    decryptedPassword = cStat.getString(1);
I am getting follwing SQLException
java.sql.SQLException: Cannot perform fetch on a PLSQL statement: next is thrown when I try to fetch next record at line
if(callRs.next())
Please suggest the solution,
Thanks and Regards,

Hi,
First, execute() is recommended for CallableStatement.
Second, with Oracle atabase, PL/SQL returns a Ref Cursor, not a result set; you need to invoke getCursor() on the returned object from PL/SQL to turn it into a result set then you cnatreat it as a regular result set.
