using setBlob()

+Pie Number of slices to send: Send
Hi i have a question.
I have got a table with Data Type BLOB in mysql database

i have a jsp page with <html:file > input and that gives me the
FormFile object in my ActionForm using which i can get the InputStream Object , but i can't figure out how to save it to the the table using setBlob on my prepared Statement.
i was thinking about calling setBinary() on my prepared statement but it needs a third argument the length of the data and thats where i am getting stuck

-thanks.

Prakash,
I recommend not using the setBlob function due to the difficulty you described with creating a Blob. Instead, I would use setBinaryStream(). There is a version of the method that only takes two parameters, so you don't need the length.

That method has only been introduced in Java 1.6, so many drivers don't support it yet. You'd also have to upgrade to Java EE 5 to be compatible.

Thanks for the help.
well i am using 1.5
but some how i was able to use setBinaryStream().
What i did was like this. I got FormFile object from my Action Form
from FormFile i got InputStream and a lenght property
Then i used


the problem i am facing now is using the above mentioned code i am able to save a .jpeg file to my database (which is of type Blob) however when i try to save an audio file (.mp3, or .wmv) i get the error message that
the "query exceeded the max_allowed_packets " i am using MySQL as my Database server.

is it something(some variable) i need to set somewhere in my MySQL server?
-Thanks.

Thank you Rob. I hadn't noticed that I was looking at the latest version of the API. I had used the version of the API that does take a length and was just trying to verify the parameters.
