java - How do you get multiple resultset from a single CallableStatement?

Question

When I call the stored proc from command line I get the following.

CALL `events`.`get_event_by_id`(10)

+---------+----------+-------------+---------------------+---------------------+---------------------+--------+----------+
| evet_id | name     | description | starttime           | endtime             | last_modified       | active | addre_id |
+---------+----------+-------------+---------------------+---------------------+---------------------+--------+----------+
|      10 | samole 3 | sanely      | 2013-11-27 17:37:00 | 2013-11-27 18:09:00 | 2013-11-27 09:37:42 |      1 |       20 |
+---------+----------+-------------+---------------------+---------------------+---------------------+--------+----------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

+---------+------------+---------+
| user_id | username   | picture |
+---------+------------+---------+
|       1 | jamess2000 | NULL    |
|       2 | yferna2012 | NULL    |
+---------+------------+---------+
2 rows in set (0.00 sec)

+----------+------------------------------+---------------------+-------------+--------+
| addre_id | street                       | name                | description | active |
+----------+------------------------------+---------------------+-------------+--------+
|       20 | Schieffelin                  | Manhattan Ville Loc | NULL        |      1 |
+----------+------------------------------+---------------------+-------------+--------+

Here is a snippet of my Java Code

String SP_GET_EVENT_BY_ID = "CALL `events`.`get_event_by_id`(?)";
String PROC_PARAM_EVENT_ID = "evet_id";
mCallableStatement = mConnection.prepareCall(SP_GET_EVENT_BY_ID);
mCallableStatement.setInt(10, PROC_PARAM_EVENT_ID);

When I execute the statement, only the event_table results are returned. I read the query with the following:

ResultSet reader = mCallableStatement.executeQuery();

while(reader.next())
{
   //etc..... here i assign db values to properties. 
}

I am trying to avoid making multiple request to the database because it's extremely slow (300 ms depending on on how many results)

Is it even possible?

I found this great article. http://www.herongyang.com/JDBC/MySQL-CallableStatement-Multiple-ResulSet.html

Here is the code from that article.

/**

import java.sql.*;
public class MySqlCallMultipleResultSet {
  public static void main(String [] args) {
    Connection con = null;
    try {
      com.mysql.jdbc.jdbc2.optional.MysqlDataSource ds 
        = new com.mysql.jdbc.jdbc2.optional.MysqlDataSource();
      ds.setServerName("localhost");
      ds.setPortNumber(3306);
      ds.setDatabaseName("HerongDB");
      ds.setUser("Herong");
      ds.setPassword("TopSecret");
      con = ds.getConnection();

// Create CallableStatement
      CallableStatement cs = con.prepareCall("CALL HeadTail(?)");

// Register OUT parameters
      cs.registerOutParameter(1, java.sql.Types.INTEGER);     

// Execute the CALL statement and expecting multiple result sets
      boolean isResultSet = cs.execute();

// First ReulstSet object
      if (!isResultSet) {
        System.out.println("The first result is not a ResultSet.");
        return;
      }

// First ReulstSet object
      System.out.println("Head of the table:");
      ResultSet res = cs.getResultSet();
      while (res.next()) {
        System.out.println("  "+res.getInt("ID")
          +", "+res.getString("FirstName")
          +", "+res.getString("LastName")
          +", "+res.getTimestamp("ModTime"));

      }
      res.close();

// Move to the next result
      isResultSet = cs.getMoreResults();
      if (!isResultSet) {
        System.out.println("The next result is not a ResultSet.");
        return;
      }

// Second ReulstSet object
      System.out.println("Tail of the table:");
      res = cs.getResultSet();
      while (res.next()) {
        System.out.println("  "+res.getInt("ID")
          +", "+res.getString("FirstName")
          +", "+res.getString("LastName")
          +", "+res.getTimestamp("ModTime"));

      }
      res.close();

// Retrieve OUT parameters
      System.out.println("Total number of records: "+cs.getInt(1));

// Close resource
      cs.close();

      con.close();
    } catch (Exception e) {
      System.err.println("Exception: "+e.getMessage());
      e.printStackTrace();
    }
  }
}
