How to convert BLOB to String.

[Zsolt]

Hi,

I have a BLOB field in mysql-4.1.18 and want to get that as String. The
property I use as follows:

        setArgument(String arg) {...}

In the mapping file I tried to use the code below but that didn't help.
  <result property="argument" column="argument_types" jdbcType="BLOB" 
    javaType="java.lang.String"/>

Instead of the string I get something like below:

How can I fix that?

I use ibatis-2.1.7.597.
