Greg,
 
The online docs for Oracle are where I got my start...got something running in a couple hours. However, the server choked on the clobs in about 24 hours of operation.
 
These oracle examples are actually just a little wrong. If you look at the otn forum on jdbc, you will see numerous complaints about why the clob and blob examples don't work.
 
If you go to elephantwalker.com (its free to join), and look at http://www.elephantwalker.com/rfa?id=86 you will see some bullet proof code on how to use clobs/blobs in oracle with a stateless session bean.
 
regards,
 
the elephantwalker

You can also look at the 8.1.7 online docs for java examples or now the 9i online docs.  Sign up with Otn.oracle.com, and get a free account, get tons of examples.

If you are always going to use an Oracle database, then optimal performance will come from  the thick driver. However, the thin driver is the most frequently used.
