Here is a sample xsd and database mapping for clob try it out for blob
it should work.
XSD elemnt: -
<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element ref="AccountId"/>
<xs:element ref="XMLText"
minOccurs="0"/>
<xs:element ref="ClientNumber"
minOccurs="0"/>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
Mapping File Entry: -
<field name="accountId" type="long">
<sql name="DA_id" type="decimal"
dirty="ignore"/>
</field>
<field name="XMLText" type="string">
<sql name="XML_TEXT" type="clob"
dirty="ignore"/>
</field>
<field name="clientNumber" type="string">
<sql name="CLIENT_NBR" type="char"
dirty="ignore"/>
</field>
Castor will internally manage to create/update/read the clob/blob
http://castor.exolab.org/jdo-mapping.html will give u more details.
All the best

Subject: [castor-dev] BLOB How-To
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.
Stein
