I don't know the code in DatabaseConfiguration too well because I was not involved in this class. What problems do you have when you call other methods like getString(), getInt() etc.? Is an exception thrown?

Suppose I use database to store configuration key and values. The database table has two columns: key = VARCHAR value = BLOB The value is XML serialized from POJO with XStream. I can easily write to databse with dbconfig.setProperty(someKeyAsString, someValueAsString) How do I get someValueAsString back from database? It seems I can only use Object someValueAsObject = dbconfig.getProperty(someKeyAsString): But I need String, Reader or InputStream to serialize someValue back to POJO. -Borut --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
