Getting generated keys inside Java

Question

Is there any way to get generated keys in Java running on CF
server?
I have some java code accessed from CF, I get a connection to
the data source by name via
"coldfusion.server.DataSourceService.getDatasource(datasourceName).getConnection()"
call within java, which works. However if I try to do a
connection.prepareStatement(sql,
PreparedStatement.RETURN_GENERATED_KEYS) call or
preparedStatement.getGeneratedKeyts() call I get a
"java.lang.AbstractMethodError" exception like:
java.lang.AbstractMethodError:
coldfusion.server.j2ee.sql.JRunConnectionHandle.prepareStatement(Ljava/lang/String;I)Ljav a/sql/PreparedStatement;
Which seems to indicate to me that CF does not implement
getting generated keys via JDBC - is there another way or do I have
to just give up and do a "select" after "insert"?
Hope this made sense.
Thanks,
-HH
P.S. In case this is usefull, CF MX7 with MSSQL2005 , JDK
1.4

CF6/7 uses JDBC 2 so I don't think you can get it to work
there. In CF 8
it should work (if your database supports it).
