All Implemented Interfaces:

LobHandler

Deprecated.

in favor of DefaultLobHandler for the Oracle 10g driver and higher. Consider using the 10g/11g driver even against an Oracle 9i database! DefaultLobHandler.setCreateTemporaryLob(boolean) is the direct equivalent of this OracleLobHandler's implementation strategy, just using standard JDBC 4.0 API. That said, in most cases, regular DefaultLobHandler setup will work fine as well.

@Deprecated
public class OracleLobHandler
extends AbstractLobHandler

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. Note that this LobHandler requires Oracle JDBC driver 9i or higher!

While most databases are able to work with DefaultLobHandler, Oracle 9i (or more specifically, the Oracle 9i JDBC driver) 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, or upgrade to the Oracle 10g/11g driver (which still supports access to Oracle 9i databases).

NOTE: As of Oracle 10.2, DefaultLobHandler should work equally well out of the box. On Oracle 11g, JDBC 4.0 based options such as DefaultLobHandler.setStreamAsLob(boolean) and DefaultLobHandler.setCreateTemporaryLob(boolean) are available as well, rendering this proprietary OracleLobHandler obsolete. Also, consider upgrading to a new driver even when accessing an older database. See the LobHandler interface javadoc for a summary of recommendations.

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 Java EE environment), you need to set an appropriate NativeJdbcExtractor to allow for automatic 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, ojdbc5, ojdbc6) having different constant values! As this LobHandler initializes 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.

Deprecated.

Method Detail

setNativeJdbcExtractor

public void setNativeJdbcExtractor(NativeJdbcExtractor nativeJdbcExtractor)

Deprecated.

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 that cannot be cast to a native Connection implementation.

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 many connection pools. See SimpleNativeJdbcExtractor and oracle.jdbc.OracleConnection javadoc for details.

See Also:

NativeJdbcExtractor.getNativeConnectionFromStatement(java.sql.Statement), SimpleNativeJdbcExtractor, OracleJdbc4NativeJdbcExtractor

setCache

public void setCache(boolean cache)

Deprecated.

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

Default is true.

See Also:

• oracle.sql.BLOB.createTemporary
• oracle.sql.CLOB.createTemporary

setReleaseResourcesAfterRead

public void setReleaseResourcesAfterRead(boolean releaseResources)

Deprecated.

Set whether to aggressively release any resources used by the LOB. If set to true then you can only read the LOB values once. Any subsequent reads will fail since the resources have been closed.

Setting this property to true can be useful when your queries generates large temporary LOBs that occupy space in the TEMPORARY tablespace or when you want to free up any memory allocated by the driver for the LOB reading.

Default is false.

See Also:

• oracle.sql.BLOB.freeTemporary
• oracle.sql.CLOB.freeTemporary
• oracle.sql.BLOB.open
• oracle.sql.CLOB.open
• oracle.sql.BLOB.close
• oracle.sql.CLOB.close

initOracleDriverClasses

protected void initOracleDriverClasses(Connection con)

Deprecated.

Retrieve the oracle.sql.BLOB and oracle.sql.CLOB classes via reflection, and initialize the values for the DURATION_SESSION, MODE_READWRITE and MODE_READONLY constants defined there.

See Also:

• oracle.sql.BLOB.DURATION_SESSION
• oracle.sql.BLOB.MODE_READWRITE
• oracle.sql.BLOB.MODE_READONLY
• oracle.sql.CLOB.DURATION_SESSION
• oracle.sql.CLOB.MODE_READWRITE

Deprecated.

Release any LOB resources after read is complete.

If releaseResourcesAfterRead property is set to true then this implementation calls BLOB.close() or CLOB.close() on any non-temporary LOBs that are open or BLOB.freeTemporary() or CLOB.freeTemporary() on any temporary LOBs.

This method can be overridden by sublcasses if different behavior is desired.

Parameters:
