Class OracleLobHandler

java.lang.Object
  org.springframework.jdbc.support.lob.OracleLobHandler

All Implemented Interfaces:

LobHandler

public class OracleLobHandler

extends Object

implements LobHandler

LobHandler implementation for Oracle databases. Uses proprietary API to create oracle.sql.BLOB and oracle.sql.CLOB instances, as necessary when working with Oracle's JDBC driver. Developed and tested on Oracle 9i.

While most databases are able to work with DefaultLobHandler, Oracle just accepts Blob/Clob instances created via its own proprietary BLOB/CLOB API, and additionally doesn't accept large streams for PreparedStatement's corresponding setter methods. Therefore, you need to use a strategy like this LobHandler implementation.

Needs to work on a native JDBC Connection, to be able to cast it to oracle.jdbc.OracleConnection. If you pass in Connections from a connection pool (the usual case in a J2EE environment), you need to set an appropriate NativeJdbcExtractor to allow for automatical retrieval of the underlying native JDBC Connection. LobHandler and NativeJdbcExtractor are separate concerns, therefore they are represented by separate strategy interfaces.

Coded via reflection to avoid dependencies on Oracle classes. Even reads in Oracle constants via reflection because of different Oracle drivers (classes12, ojdbc14) having different constant values! As it initializes the Oracle classes on instantiation, do not define this as eager-initializing singleton if you do not want to depend on the Oracle JAR being in the class path: use "lazy-init=true" to avoid this issue.

Constructor Detail

OracleLobHandler

public OracleLobHandler()

This constructor retrieves the oracle.sql.BLOB and oracle.sql.CLOB classes via reflection, and initializes the values for the DURATION_SESSION and MODE_READWRITE constants defined there.

oracle.sql.BLOB#DURATION_SESSION, oracle.sql.BLOB#MODE_READWRITE, oracle.sql.CLOB#DURATION_SESSION, oracle.sql.CLOB#MODE_READWRITE

Method Detail

setNativeJdbcExtractor

public void setNativeJdbcExtractor(NativeJdbcExtractor nativeJdbcExtractor)

Set an appropriate NativeJdbcExtractor to be able to retrieve the underlying native oracle.jdbc.OracleConnection. This is necessary for DataSource-based connection pools, as those need to return wrapped JDBC Connection handles.

Effectively, this LobHandler just invokes a single NativeJdbcExtractor method, namely getNativeConnectionFromStatement with a PreparedStatement argument (falling back to a PreparedStatement.getConnection() call if no extractor is set).

A common choice is SimpleNativeJdbcExtractor, whose Connection unwrapping (which is what OracleLobHandler needs) will work with almost any connection pool. See SimpleNativeJdbcExtractor's javadoc for details.

See Also:

NativeJdbcExtractor.getNativeConnectionFromStatement(java.sql.Statement), SimpleNativeJdbcExtractor, oracle.jdbc.OracleConnection

setCache

public void setCache(boolean cache)

Set whether to cache the temporary LOB in the buffer cache. This value will be passed into BLOB/CLOB.createTemporary. Default is true.

oracle.sql.BLOB#createTemporary, oracle.sql.CLOB#createTemporary

getBlobAsBytes

public byte[] getBlobAsBytes(ResultSet rs,
