It is the cast of the table columns to double precision which is
taking the index out of play.
What are the data types of those columns? What does the code look
like where you're setting the values for the parameters? If nothing
else, writing the query so that the parameters are cast to the right
type before use might solve the problem, but I would start by
looking at the object classes used in the Java app.
