How to insert UUID into RAW(16) column

Question

I have the RAW(16) PK column in Oracle, and trying to insert into it using JDBC:

        PreparedStatement stmt = connection.prepareStatement("insert into COUNTRY (id, state, version, code, name, nationality, issuing_entity, country) values (?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?)");
        UUID id = UUID.randomUUID();
        stmt.setObject(1, id, Types.BINARY);

However, I am getting an exception:

java.sql.SQLException: Invalid column type
at oracle.jdbc.driver.OraclePreparedStatement.setObjectCritical(OraclePreparedStatement.java:8494)
at oracle.jdbc.driver.OraclePreparedStatement.setObjectInternal(OraclePreparedStatement.java:7995)

at test.rw.gov.dgie.bms.terr.service.TestCountryService.init(TestCountryService.java:37)

I am getting the same exception when trying to use DbSetup for inserting test data.

Is there a way to make JDBC insert UUIDs into RAW(16) column?

I am using Oracle JDBC 12.2.0.1.0.

You must convert the UUID to a byte array. See the method asBytes how to do it.

After it the binding is a s simple as using setBytes.

Example

def stmt = con.prepareStatement("insert into TAB_UUID (id, uuid) values (?,?)") 
// bind
stmt.setInt(1,1)
def uuid = UUID.randomUUID()
stmt.setBytes(2,asBytes(uuid)) 
def rowCount = stmt.executeUpdate()

Here just for case the link doesn't work the conversion method UUID to byte array

  public static byte[] asBytes(UUID uuid) {
    ByteBuffer bb = ByteBuffer.wrap(new byte[16]);
    bb.putLong(uuid.getMostSignificantBits());
    bb.putLong(uuid.getLeastSignificantBits());
    return bb.array();
  }
