Hi All,
I'm having some problems with CLOBs
I'm trying to write a String message into the CLOB. (Oracle)
e.g.

This won't compile because method setSomeString(CLOB) in the type Record is not applicable for the arguments (Clob)
BTW, setSomeString(CLOB) takes an argument of type oracle.sql.CLOB
OK fine, so I did a cast like this:

At run time however, this will throw an exception with the following message:

My question is: How do I write a String into the CLOB?
Any suggestions?
Thanks

I got it to work. (with some help from my smart friends)
Evidently all I had to do is to leave my setSomeString(String s) and getSomeString() methods alone...
meaning that they don't need to take an argument of type CLOB or return a CLOB.
My configuration file need to specify the type="text"
For example:
<property name="someString" type="text">
<column name="SOMESTRING" />
</property>

The type="text" will do the trick of converting the huge piece of text (some string) and write it to the CLOB in the Oracle DB.
This was what I was after so it worked for me.
If this also helps you; Great....
G'day to all,

simple but very much useful information otherwise it would have been much difficult
Thanks.
