Because your SQL call is returning an object. You must get
the string representation of the object from one of three
ways:
1. object.toString();
2. (String) object;
3. Use the methods of the java.SQL.DatabaseMetaData
interface for returning data as strings

Subject: Displaying CLOB values
The following query retruns part of DEF (clob) field when
done from oracle
SQL*plus window. I did the same qyery from my jsp page and
tried to get
the value. But all I get is null. Why?
Select def from table_name;
Now <%=rs.getString("DEF") %> returns null.
Thank you
Amar
