effizient query with jdbc

Hi,
I have a java.util.List of values (10000) which i wanted to use for a query in the where clause of an simple select
statement.iterating over the list and and use an prepared Statement is quite slow. Is there a more efficient way to
executesuch a query. 
Thanks for any help.

.....

List ids = new ArrayList();

.... List is filled with 10000 values ...

List uuids = new ArrayList();

PreparedStatement pstat = db.prepareStatement("SELECT UUID FROM MDM.KEYWORDS_INFO WHERE KEYWORDS_ID = ?");

for (Iterator iter = ids.iterator(); iter.hasNext();) {
   String id = (String) iter.next();
   pstat.setString(1, id);
   rs = pstat.executeQuery();
     if (rs.next()) {
    uuids.add(rs.getString(1));
   }
   rs.close();
  }
