[castor-dev] BLOB How-To

[Stein M. Eliassen]

Hi!

I'm trying to convert some existing code to Castor for storing files in 
mysql, but it is causing me some headache :-(

I've read http://castor.exolab.org/types.html#BLOB-and-CLOB-Types, but 
still don't get it.

The field is set to stream,  but it seems that only plain text-files is 
working.

The data is written to database for any file, but I must be doing 
something wrong because after loading the object from the database and 
write it to a response-object in a servlet I get a data-format error 
(I'm trying to display an image-file).

Can I initialize the field with a FileInputStream and Castor writes it 
to the database?

How do I use the stream-object after Castor have initialized the field 
after I've loaded the object?

This sounds like basic java-questions, but I have working code that I 
wanted to handle with Castor instead.
