Hy!
I am new in Hibernate and I have a very close task that consists in inerting blobs into an Oracle8i database.
I've tried in all possible ways, starting with the example from http://www.hibernate.org/73.html and other examples of defining UserTypes from the hibernate.org but it doesn't want to work.

The problem is that when I used that example for file larger than 4KB I got an java.sql.SQLException telling me that the size of the file is bigger then ...

Then I tried with this http://www.hibernate.org/236.html. I could insert a bmp image into the table, but when I try to insert an empty doc I got the same error but with an ORA code...

Please, can anyone help me to get off this anoying errors?

Thank you very much
