Hi, I want to persit a photo of a person in my database. In order to do that, I'am using the code below: | @Entity | @Table(name="PERSONNE") | @Inheritance(strategy=InheritanceType.JOINED) | public class Personne implements Serializable{ | | private ImageIcon photo; | ... | | @Lob | @Basic(fetch=FetchType.LAZY,optional=true) | @Column(name="PHOTO") | public ImageIcon getPhoto() {return photo;} | public void setPhoto(ImageIcon photo) {this.photo = photo;} | ... | } | When I persist the entity, it's Ok but when I'am trying to extract it form the DB I got an EOFException. @Lob make the attibute photo mapped as a blob but Blob type in MySQL seems to not support more than 64kB of data. In most of case my photos have a bigger size than 64KB and they are simply truncated. To resolve the problem, I changed the type directly in the DB into LongBlob and now it is working fine. So, my question is : Is there a way to have my attribute directly mapped as a LongBlob? Thanks in advance System informations: jboss 4.0.4.GA EJB RC8 MySQL 4.1.9 and connector 3.1.14 View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3987905#...
