I'm fairly sure that postgres does not support "out" parameters: objCallStmt.registerOutParameter(1, 12); Isn't allowed. Since you only have one value coming out of the function, you could use regular Statement or PreparedStatement client-side and rewrite your server-side function so it returns a value thru RETURNS clause. I'm making assumption that you are using PL/pgsql (only language I'm familiar with). The second is that you probably want to call the executeQuery method on the Statement/PreparedStatement and walk through the result-set (per jdocs) it returns.
