In order to get the column information you can use the following snippet:

String sql = "select * from "+oTablename+" LIMIT 0";
Statement statement = connection.createStatement();
ResultSet rs = statement.executeQuery(sql);
ResultSetMetaData mrs = rs.getMetaData();
for(int i = 1; i <= mrs.getColumnCount(); i++)
{
    Object row[] = new Object[3];
    row[0] = mrs.getColumnLabel(i);
    row[1] = mrs.getColumnTypeName(i);
    row[2] = mrs.getPrecision(i);
}
