Information Link fails to execute with the error message Method Connection.prepareStatement is not yet implemented

After successfully parsing the data source template followed by the setup of the data source in Information Designer, the created Information Link may fail with the error message: Method Connection.prepareStatement is not yet implemented. And the following stack trace is observed in the server logs.

  Some JDBC drivers do not support the prepareStatement call for the JDBC connections.  Spotfire will always call prepareStatement unless told to do otherwise.  One can turn off this behavior by setting the attribute always-use-prepared-statement to false. The following attribute needs to be added in the data source template for which created Information link was failing.

<always-use-prepared-statement>false</always-use-prepared-statement>

Make sure to save the configuration after adding this attribute and restart the Spotfire Server.
