=======================================================

For several users, this was solved by getting the latest jdbc driver.

Regards, Jan File file = new File("com/cisco/wipro/dca/GAJANANBABA.jpg");
fis = new FileInputStream(file);
ps = conn.prepareStatement(INSERT_PICTURE);
ps.setString(1, "001");
ps.setString(2, "psm");
ps.setBinaryStream(3, fis, (int) file.length());

//ps.setBinaryStream(3,fis,fis.available());

Blob blob = resultSerOfSelectAbove.getBlob(2);
OutputStream blobOs = blob.setBinaryStream(0);
byte[] buffer = <the XML file content>;
if ( (blobOs != null) && (buffer != null) ) {
blobOs.write(buffer);
blobOs.close();
} I see a patch for 11.2.0.2
