Float type returns as Types.OTHER

I am working with jdbc driver 8.1.7 with 8.1.7 database. For a column that it's data type is Float I get from:

ResultSet rs = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:oracle:thin:@dbserver4:1521:ora817",
"NWIND_INT", "nwind_int").getMetaData().getColumns(null, "NWIND_INT",
"ORDER_DETAILS", null);

re.next();
System.out.println("The type is: " + rs.getShort(5));

Data type - java.sql.Types.OTHER (1111).

What am I doing wrong?

I tried later drivers version. It did not solve the problems.

Thanks,
