Java: resultset is empty while calling stored procedure with ref cursor as OUT

I am trying to call a StoredProcedure from Java, but the result returned is always false. In reality, it has to return 100's of records. The connection is established good.

I have a stored procedure,

 PROCEDURE get_records
   (
      grp1     IN a.name%TYPE DEFAULT NULL
     ,grp2 IN a.name%TYPE DEFAULT NULL
     ,grp3        IN a.name%TYPE DEFAULT NULL
     ,grp4          IN a.name%TYPE DEFAULT NULL
     ,grp5               IN a.name%TYPE DEFAULT NULL
     ,flag1     IN a.flag%TYPE DEFAULT 'F'
     ,flag2       IN a.flag%TYPE DEFAULT 'F'
     ,refercursor_out          OUT SYS_REFCURSOR
   );

My java Program:

import java.io.IOException;
import java.sql.CallableStatement;
import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.DriverManager;
import java.sql.ResultSet;
import java.sql.SQLException;

import oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleTypes;

class DAO1 {
    public static void main(String args[]) throws SQLException, IOException {
        // Load the driver
        DriverManager.registerDriver(new oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver());
        Connection conn = DriverManager
                .getConnection("jdbc:oracle:thin:admin/admin@//host1:1521/abcdev");
        System.out.println(conn);

        // Prepare to call the stored procedure get_group_details.
        CallableStatement cstmt = conn
                .prepareCall("{call mypackage.get_records (?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?)}");

        cstmt.registerOutParameter(8, OracleTypes.CURSOR); // REF CURSOR

        cstmt.setString(1, "");
        cstmt.setString(2, "");
        cstmt.setString(3, "");
        cstmt.setString(4, "");
        cstmt.setString(5, "");
        cstmt.setString(6, "");
        cstmt.setString(7, "");

        // execute get_records
        //cstmt.execute(); //updated
        cstmt.executeQuery(); //updated

        ResultSet rs0 = (ResultSet) cstmt.getObject(8);
        System.out.println("rs0 is " + rs0.next());

        /*
         * ResultSet rs = ((OracleCallableStatement) cstmt).getCursor(8);
         * System.out.println("rs is " + rs.next());
         * 
         * while (rs.next()) { System.out.println(".."); }
         */
        // Close the statement
        cstmt.close();
        // Close the connection
        conn.close();
    }
}

Current ouput:

oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleConnection@5afec107
rs0 is false

Question - why is it false? I expect 100's of records in the resultset. There are records, and is visible on executing the test script from sql developer.

begin
 mypackage.get_records(refercursor_out => :refercursor_out);
end;
// this returns 100's of records

Update: 08/08

The reason why I was not getting data is not the code issue, when I passed some value to the 6th parameter, it is returning data. Hence closing the thread; Marking @Klas Lindbäck's answer as the answer for suggesting the right execute method. [though execute(), executeQuery() and executeUpdate() in this case returns data in the resultset]

You are not using the right semantics. execute has other semantics than executeQuery.

The execute method returns a boolean to indicate the form of the first result. You must call either the method getResultSet or getUpdateCount to retrieve the result; you must call getMoreResults to move to any subsequent result(s).

The easiest solution (smallest code change) for you is to switch to executeQuery:

    // execute get_records
    cstmt.executeQuery();
