public abstract void registerOutParameter (int parameterIndex, int sqlType, String typeName) throws SQLException

Registers the designated output parameter. This version of the method registerOutParameter should be used for a user-defined or REF output parameter. Examples of user-defined types include: STRUCT, DISTINCT, JAVA_OBJECT, and named array types.

All OUT parameters must be registered before a stored procedure is executed.

For a user-defined parameter, the fully-qualified SQL type name of the parameter should also be given, while a REF parameter requires that the fully-qualified type name of the referenced type be given. A JDBC driver that does not need the type code and type name information may ignore it. To be portable, however, applications should always provide these values for user-defined and REF parameters. Although it is intended for user-defined and REF parameters, this method may be used to register a parameter of any JDBC type. If the parameter does not have a user-defined or REF type, the typeName parameter is ignored.

Note: When reading the value of an out parameter, you must use the getter method whose Java type corresponds to the parameter's registered SQL type.

Parameters:
parameterIndex    the first parameter is 1, the second is 2,...
sqlType    a value from java.sql.Types
typeName    the fully-qualified name of an SQL structured type

Exceptions:
SQLException    if the parameterIndex is not valid; if a database access error occurs or this method is called on a closed CallableStatement
SQLFeatureNotSupportedException    if sqlType is a ARRAY, BLOB, CLOB, DATALINK, JAVA_OBJECT, NCHAR, NCLOB, NVARCHAR, LONGNVARCHAR, REF, ROWID, SQLXML or STRUCT data type and the JDBC driver does not support this data type
