Re: getObject()

Hi Rene,

I am wondering if the driver I am using is outdated (the functionality I am
looking for seems to be already implemented, since Aug 24).

In fact, I see what you saw about the cache, and looking into it a bit deeper,
the cache is effectively updated (at least, on CVS HEAD).

Could anyone tell me the date of the driver jars present on
http://jdbc.fastcrypt.com ?

If it's older than Aug 24, maybe the solution consists simply on creating the
new jar files.

Thank you very much.

Antonio

Thank you very much, Brian.
