A 'length' of '-1' passed to PreparedStatement.setBinaryStream can cause an 
exception on some, but not all, JDBC drivers.

I recently worked on an issue where a JDBC driver is throwing an exception when 
attempting to persists an InputStream:

Caused by: <openjpa-1.2.3-SNAPSHOT-r422266:1152904 nonfatal general error> 
org.apache.openjpa.persistence.PersistenceException: String or buffer length 
not valid.
FailedObject: prepstmnt 1608671202 UPDATE PMYPJRK SET lastModificationDate = ?, 
fileLength = ?, fileName = ?, inputStream = ? WHERE id = ? 
[org.apache.openjpa.jdbc.kernel.JDBCStoreManager$CancelPreparedStatement]
.........
Caused by: java.sql.SQLException: String or buffer length not valid.

This exception occurs because the particular JDBC driver checks the value of 
the 'length' variable passed to the 'PreparedStatement.setBinaryStream' method:

setBinaryStream(int parameterIndex, InputStream x, int length) 

The 'length' parameter of method 'setBinaryStream' is supposed to be the length 
of the InputStream parameter.  OpenJPA code is passing a value of '-1' for the 
length as the length is not known.  Some JDBC drivers allow this value.  
Technically speaking the javadoc for 'PreparedStatement.setBinaryStream' 
doesn't state that a negative value is not acceptable or what should happen 
when a negative length is passed to 'setBinaryStream' (which is likely why some 
drivers allow a negative value and others do not).  On the other hand, it 
doesn't make sense for a length of an InputStream to be negative.  Given this, 
and the fact that OpenJPA is not aware of the length of the stream, I'll work 
on a solution which uses a JDBC 4.0 version of 'setBinaryStream' which doesn't 
take a length.  The fix will of course require JDK 6 + JDBC 4.0 driver runtime.
