Its been a while since I've done this. As I recall, I declared that it was a BLOB in my weblogic CMP deployment descriptor. Then Weblogic allowed me to store any serializable class in the BLOB (I might have used a CLOB, I don't remember). For traditional BLOB like items you can user byte[] or char[]. You can also store arbitrary serializable objects this way, but if any of the method signatures changes, it will throw an exception when you retrieve it (even if the change was trivial).
