It seems like PG JDBC driver CANNOT  handle 'bytea' as BLOB nor 'text' as CLOB.
getBlob()/setBlob()/getClob()/setClob() can work with only Large Objects (at 
least with
postgresql-8.1-405.jdbc3.jar).

The same exception occurs when using getClob() against a text column.

Using Large Objects may solve my issue but I have to note that a large object 
is not automatically
deleted when the record referring to it is deleted.

I found that using getBinaryStream(), setBinaryStream(), getCharacterStream() and setCharacterStream() to handle LOBs across different DBMS is much more portable (and reliably) than using the Clob()/Blob() methods.

The Postgres JDBC driver handles the stream/writer methods just fine to read and write text and bytea columns.

TIP 9: In versions below 8.0, the planner will ignore your desire to
      choose an index scan if your joining column's datatypes do not
      match
