I see in various searches that some people create their own BinaryBlobType
and use some XML to tell Hibernate to map that custom type to a blob.
On other sites, I see that with annotations, I am supposed to do the
following:
@Lob
@Column(name="FILE_CONTENTS")
public byte[] getFileContents() {
return fileContents;
}
public void setFileContents(byte[] fileContents) {
this.fileContents = fileContents;
}
assuming here that we have an attribute called fileContents.
I am going to be storing uploaded file content in the database. Do I need
to worry about the custom type then?
