I need to get the value of the primarykey for the most reciently created entry in an h2 database only problem is i cant figure out how to call scope_identity() which is supposed to return a resultSet with the most reciently created key.

Here is the function i am using:

public int getPrimaryKeyOfMostRecientlyUpdatedRow() throws Exception {
    return queryDatabase("CALL SCOPE_IDENTITY()").getInt(1);
}

when i call it after creating a new row i get this stack trace im not sure why the .getInt(1) is comming up null but that appears to be the problem:

Thanks.

You don't need to call any special function, this sort of functionality is taken care by the JDBC standard. The idea is to specify a special flag called Statement.RETURN_GENERATED_KEYS when creating statements. Look at this answer for more details.
