I am saving my page to the DB calling the dao.saveOrUpdate() method, after the page saves it re-loads and gets the newly saved data from the DB. When it tries to read the Clob field I get this error:
java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: Blob may not be manipulated from creating session

Here is the code:
int l = (int) qData.getAttribVal().length();
String clob = qData.getAttribVal().getSubString(1, l);
varTxtDto.setValue(clob);
Some other post mentioned calling refresh, but my dao does not have a refresh method. Any other ideas?
