Cannot run this command because Java services are not enabled

From EggeWiki

When connecting to Sybase via jconn3 and Spring 2.0, you receive the error:

Cannot run this command because Java services are not enabled

This can be caused by passing a char type as on of the arguments. Example:

char gender = 'M';
jdbcTemplate.queryForObject(
                "SELECT top 1 first_name from people where gender = ?",
                String.class,
                gender);

Fix: Simply convert the char to a String. I.e., String.valueOf(gender).
