I am having some strange issues with retrieving a blob field.
I am using an Oracle9i DB with the oci8(not thin) JDBC driver. I am also at OJB 1.0.1. There are two parts to this problem. 1) When I go to access my object containing a blob field using getObjectByIdentity(), it fails the first time, but succeeds on subsequent calls. If I restart the server - again it fails the first time - and success afterwards. 2) When I go to search for any of these objects containing this blob field, it fails every time. The failure exception is as follows: org.apache.ojb.broker.PersistenceBrokerSQLException: java.sql.SQLException: ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected - got BLOB at java.lang.Throwable.<init>(Throwable.java) at org.apache.commons.lang.exception.NestableRuntimeException.<init>(NestableRuntimeException.java:111) at org.apache.ojb.broker.OJBRuntimeException.<init>(OJBRuntimeException.java:40) at org.apache.ojb.broker.PersistenceBrokerException.<init>(PersistenceBrokerException.java:69) at org.apache.ojb.broker.PersistenceBrokerSQLException.<init>(PersistenceBrokerSQLException.java:37) at org.apache.ojb.broker.accesslayer.JdbcAccessImpl.executeQuery(JdbcAccessImpl.java:318) at org.apache.ojb.broker.accesslayer.RsQueryObject.performQuery(RsQueryObject.java:74) at org.apache.ojb.broker.accesslayer.RsIterator.<init>(RsIterator.java:183) at org.apache.ojb.broker.core.RsIteratorFactoryImpl.createRsIterator(RsIteratorFactoryImpl.java:58) at org.apache.ojb.broker.core.PersistenceBrokerImpl.getRsIteratorFromQuery(PersistenceBrokerImpl.java:1808) at org.apache.ojb.broker.core.PersistenceBrokerImpl.getIteratorFromQuery(PersistenceBrokerImpl.java:1333) at org.apache.ojb.broker.core.PersistenceBrokerImpl.getIteratorByQuery(PersistenceBrokerImpl.java:1320) at org.apache.ojb.broker.core.DelegatingPersistenceBroker.getIteratorByQuery(DelegatingPersistenceBroker.java:322) at org.apache.ojb.broker.core.DelegatingPersistenceBroker.getIteratorByQuery(DelegatingPersistenceBroker.java:322) Repository field descriptor: <field-descriptor name="exportFile" column="EXP_FILE" jdbc-type="BLOB" /> Class definition: protected byte[] exportFile; I have changed this blob field to a CLOB field and it was successfully storing and retrieving up to 10 Meg of data...but alas I cannot use CLOB as the data I am wishing to store is binary information! If someone could point me in the right direction, I would be immensely grateful!
