NullPointerException when executing PreparedStatement on Oracle DB to insert Blob

Question

does anyone have an idea what i am doing wrong here? I am trying to insert a blob (that contains a pdf in case that matters) into an oracle db together with some additional information. I am using a PreparedStatement

Code:

public void saveReportErgebnis(int reportId, Date erzeugung, int archiv,
        Blob pdf, String kommentar) throws Exception {

    ByteArrayOutputStream bos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
    byte[] tmp = new byte[(int) pdf.length()];
    if(kommentar == null){
        kommentar = "";
    }

    SimpleDateFormat erstellungSdf = new SimpleDateFormat(
            "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss");

    try {
    pdf.getBinaryStream().read(tmp);

    oracle.sql.BLOB oracleBlob = new oracle.sql.BLOB((OracleConnection) getConnection(), tmp);
    PreparedStatement prepStmt = getRTTDBHandler()
            .createPreparedStatement(
                    "INSERT INTO reportergebnis(report_id, erzeugung, archiv, pdf, kommentar) VALUES (?,?,?,?,?)");
    System.out.println("debug 2 oracle");
        prepStmt.setInt(1, reportId);
        prepStmt.setString(2, formatDateString(erstellungSdf.format(erzeugung)));
        prepStmt.setInt(3, archiv);
        prepStmt.setBlob(4, oracleBlob);
        prepStmt.setString(5, kommentar);
        prepStmt.execute();
    } catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
        loghandler.error(e.toString());
        throw e;
    }

}

(formatCode is putting the Date in the right form, e.g. for a return:
date to_date('2013-04-15 09:34:38','yyyy-mm-dd hh24:mi:ss')

When the PrepStatement is executed I get the following Exception:

I am using Oracle Database 10g Release 10.2.0.3.0. Help please!

Answer 1

In my app I used a File instead of a Blob for the method input and have done the BLOB insert this way:

public void insertBlob(String filedesc, File file) {
    Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection(url, username, password);

    InputStream input = new FileInputStream(file);

    PreparedStatement pstmt = con.prepareStatement(
        "insert into schema.table values(?,?)");
    pstmt.setString(1, filedesc);
    pstmt.setBinaryStream(2, input);

    pstmt.execute();
}

Maybe you will need some try-catch, but I hope this will help You.
