getProcedureColumns behavior changed from SQLServer 2000 to 2005?

A stored procedure takes an IN parameter, an INOUT parameter, and returns an OUT parameter. When this stored procedure is defined in SQL Server 2000, the JDBC DatabaseMetadata method getProcedureColumns() returns three rows in the resultset:
one for the IN parameter (COLUMN_TYPE=1) one for the INOUT parameter (COLUMN_TYPE=2), and one for OUT parameter (COLUMN_TYPE=5).However, when the same stored procedure is defined in SQL Server 2005 (SP2), the getProcedureColumns() method returns only two rows in the resultset:
one for the IN parameter (COLUMN_TYPE=1) one for the INOUT parameter (COLUMN_TYPE=2).No row for the OUT parameter is returned.

jTDS JDBC driver was used for both of the above tests. When the Microsoft JDBC Driver for 2005 was used against SQL Server 2005, the same behavior (only two rows in the resultset) was observed.

Has someone else run into such a problem? Is this a bug in SQL Server 2005 because the same jTDS driver works as expected against SQL Server 2000 but not against SQL Server 2005? Any feedback will be appreciated.

Thanks,
