Java on iSeries: setBinaryStream problem

[Robert Schneider]

Hi,

I have got a problem inserting data of a file (both, binary and text) into
a blob column. It is created with "Data BLOB(2G)" in the sql statement (so
the name of the column is obviously 'Data'). I use a PreparedStateme nt
with the method setBinaryStream . And as far as i can remember it already
had worked until... hm, that's the question! The problem is now that I'm
able to insert files with a size of about 400k. I don't know the exact
size. I have tried it with a 530k-file and this does not work. What
happens is that the method hangs. It does not return anymore. But I'm
almost sure that this has already worked a while ago. But I can not find
out what has changed (in my opinion nothing has changed, so I'm suprised
about this).

The code:

FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream (aFileObject);

BufferedInputSt ream bis = new BufferedInputSt ream(fis);
psNewDoc.setStr ing(1, docID);
psNewDoc.setStr ing(2, mime);
psNewDoc.setInt (3, seq);

psNewDoc.setBin aryStream(4, bis, (int) aFileObject.len gth());

psNewDoc.execut eUpdate();

What could be wrong with this? Nothing?
The programm runs on a as400/V5R2 with the jt400 library. The db2 driver
is used, not the pure java version.

Thanks for any hint,
Robert

Hi. Nothing's wrong with the code. Get a thread dump to see what is hanging.
It soulds like the client library has a bug, or... when this happens, get
your DBA to tell you what the DBMS thinks is happening on that connection.
What happens if you try using a type-4 (all Java) jdbc driver?

Thank you for your answer.

Now I found out that the programm didn't use the native db2 driver. This
was a mistake by myself. So it has used the pure java driver. And now I
changed this and now it fortunately works!

But I'm still wondering why the pure java driver does not work. Do you
know why?

Hi,

seems a driver bug to me; try the newest (jtopen) (or another) version of
the driver

If you do what I suggested we will know more. Get it to hang, then get a thread dump
so we can see what the client is waiting on. Then check the DBMS to see what it
thinks is happening on the connection. This sounds like a bug in the all-java
driver.
