Class DefaultLobHandler

java.lang.Object
org.springframework.jdbc.support.lob.AbstractLobHandler
org.springframework.jdbc.support.lob.DefaultLobHandler
All Implemented Interfaces:
LobHandler
public class DefaultLobHandler extends AbstractLobHandler
Default implementation of the LobHandler interface. Invokes the direct accessor methods that java.sql.ResultSet and java.sql.PreparedStatement offer.

By default, incoming streams are going to be passed to the appropriate setBinary/Ascii/CharacterStream method on the JDBC driver's PreparedStatement. If the specified content length is negative, this handler will use the JDBC 4.0 variants of the set-stream methods without a length parameter; otherwise, it will pass the specified length on to the driver.

This LobHandler should work for any JDBC driver that is JDBC compliant in terms of the spec's suggestions regarding simple BLOB and CLOB handling. This does not apply to Oracle 9i's drivers at all; as of Oracle 10g, it does work but may still come with LOB size limitations. Consider using recent Oracle drivers even when working against an older database server. See the LobHandler javadoc for the full set of recommendations.

Some JDBC drivers require values with a BLOB/CLOB target column to be explicitly set through the JDBC setBlob / setClob API: for example, PostgreSQL's driver. Switch the "wrapAsLob" property to "true" when operating against such a driver.

On JDBC 4.0, this LobHandler also supports streaming the BLOB/CLOB content via the setBlob / setClob variants that take a stream argument directly. Consider switching the "streamAsLob" property to "true" when operating against a fully compliant JDBC 4.0 driver.

Finally, this LobHandler also supports the creation of temporary BLOB/CLOB objects. Consider switching the "createTemporaryLob" property to "true" when "streamAsLob" happens to run into LOB size limitations.

See the LobHandler interface javadoc for a summary of recommendations.

    • setWrapAsLob

      public void setWrapAsLob(boolean wrapAsLob)
      Specify whether to submit a byte array / String to the JDBC driver wrapped in a JDBC Blob / Clob object, using the JDBC setBlob / setClob method with a Blob / Clob argument.

      Default is "false", using the common JDBC 2.0 setBinaryStream / setCharacterStream method for setting the content. Switch this to "true" for explicit Blob / Clob wrapping against JDBC drivers that are known to require such wrapping (e.g. PostgreSQL's for access to OID columns, whereas BYTEA columns need to be accessed the standard way).

      This setting affects byte array / String arguments as well as stream arguments, unless "streamAsLob" overrides this handling to use JDBC 4.0's new explicit streaming support (if available).

    • setStreamAsLob

      public void setStreamAsLob(boolean streamAsLob)
      Specify whether to submit a binary stream / character stream to the JDBC driver as explicit LOB content, using the JDBC 4.0 setBlob / setClob method with a stream argument.

      Default is "false", using the common JDBC 2.0 setBinaryStream / setCharacterStream method for setting the content. Switch this to "true" for explicit JDBC 4.0 streaming, provided that your JDBC driver actually supports those JDBC 4.0 operations (e.g. Derby's).

      This setting affects stream arguments as well as byte array / String arguments, requiring JDBC 4.0 support. For supporting LOB content against JDBC 3.0, check out the "wrapAsLob" setting.

      See Also:

    • setCreateTemporaryLob

      public void setCreateTemporaryLob(boolean createTemporaryLob)
      Specify whether to copy a byte array / String into a temporary JDBC Blob / Clob object created through the JDBC 4.0 createBlob / createClob methods.

      Default is "false", using the common JDBC 2.0 setBinaryStream / setCharacterStream method for setting the content. Switch this to "true" for explicit Blob / Clob creation using JDBC 4.0.

      This setting affects stream arguments as well as byte array / String arguments, requiring JDBC 4.0 support. For supporting LOB content against JDBC 3.0, check out the "wrapAsLob" setting.
