"This ResultSet is closed" exception on a PreparedStatement getMetaData() - Mailing list pgsql-jdbc

Hello,

I ran into troubles fetching metadata on a PreparedStatement. After some time, I isolated a simple test case that shows the issue (see the code snippet below). On a brand new PreparedStatement, I call the getMetaData() method without any problem. However, if I execute the query (executeQuery()) on this same statement, close the ResultSet and then calls again
getMetaData() (still on the same PreparedStatement), getMetaData() throws a RuntimeException saying "This ResultSet is closed".
I would expect to be able to get the metadata. Is that a bug in the JDBC driver ?

I tested this behavior on several flavours of the 9.3 driver version, including 9.3-1100-jdbc4 .

Regards,
