Thank you for your answer Arne.
I was able to define the blob field using JPA. My problem is that I'm
not able to store the picture, using data binding.
I'm trying to write a Converter class, but I get runtime casting
errors. The Converter class is this:
public class ImageConverter extends Converter
{
//byte to image
public ImageIcon convertForward(Object arg)
{
Image image = new ImageIcon( ( byte[] ) arg ).getImage()
.getScaledInstance( 50, 50,
Image.SCALE_SMOOTH );
return new ImageIcon( image );
}
//image to byte
public byte[] convertReverse(Object arg)
{
ImageIcon image = (( ImageIcon ) arg );
String s = image.toString();
byte[] b = new byte[s.length()];
for(int i=0; i<s.length(); i++)
b
= (byte)s.charAt(i);
return b;
}
}
The stack trace is this:
