Class OracleLobHandler

    java.lang.Object
      org.springframework.jdbc.support.lob.AbstractLobHandler
          org.springframework.jdbc.support.lob.OracleLobHandler

All Implemented Interfaces:
  LobHandler

    public class OracleLobHandler

extends AbstractLobHandler

`LobHandler` implementation for Oracle databases. Uses proprietary API to create `oracle.sql.BLOB` and `oracle.sql.CLOB` instances, as necessary when working with Oracle's JDBC driver. Note that this LobHandler requires Oracle JDBC driver 9i or higher!

While most databases are able to work with `DefaultLobHandler`, Oracle just accepts Blob/Clob instances created via its own proprietary BLOB/CLOB API, and additionally doesn't accept large streams for PreparedStatement's corresponding setter methods. Therefore, you need to use a strategy like this LobHandler implementation.

Needs to work on a native JDBC Connection, to be able to cast it to `oracle.jdbc.OracleConnection`. If you pass in Connections from a connection pool (the usual case in a J2EE environment), you need to set an appropriate `NativeJdbcExtractor` to allow for automatical retrieval of the underlying native JDBC Connection. LobHandler and NativeJdbcExtractor are separate concerns, therefore they are represented by separate strategy interfaces.

Coded via reflection to avoid dependencies on Oracle classes. Even reads in Oracle constants via reflection because of different Oracle drivers (classes12, ojdbc14) having different constant values! As this LobHandler initializes Oracle classes on instantiation, do not define this as eager-initializing singleton if you do not want to depend on the Oracle JAR being in the class path: use "lazy-init=true" to avoid this issue.

Constructor Detail

### OracleLobHandler

    public OracleLobHandler()

Method Detail

### setNativeJdbcExtractor

    public void setNativeJdbcExtractor(NativeJdbcExtractor nativeJdbcExtractor)

  Set an appropriate NativeJdbcExtractor to be able to retrieve the underlying native `oracle.jdbc.OracleConnection`. This is necessary for DataSource-based connection pools, as those need to return wrapped JDBC Connection handles that cannot be cast to a native Connection implementation.

  Effectively, this LobHandler just invokes a single NativeJdbcExtractor method, namely `getNativeConnectionFromStatement` with a PreparedStatement argument (falling back to a `PreparedStatement.getConnection()` call if no extractor is set).

  A common choice is SimpleNativeJdbcExtractor, whose Connection unwrapping (which is what OracleLobHandler needs) will work with many connection pools. See SimpleNativeJdbcExtractor's javadoc for details.

  See Also:
    `NativeJdbcExtractor.getNativeConnectionFromStatement(java.sql.Statement)`, `SimpleNativeJdbcExtractor`, `oracle.jdbc.OracleConnection`

### setCache

    public void setCache(boolean cache)

  Set whether to cache the temporary LOB in the buffer cache. This value will be passed into BLOB/CLOB.createTemporary. Default is "true".

  See Also:
    `oracle.sql.BLOB#createTemporary`, `oracle.sql.CLOB#createTemporary`

### initOracleDriverClasses

    protected void initOracleDriverClasses(Connection con)

  Retrieve the `oracle.sql.BLOB` and `oracle.sql.CLOB` classes via reflection, and initialize the values for the DURATION_SESSION and MODE_READWRITE constants defined there.

  Parameters:
    `con` - the Oracle Connection, for using the exact same class loader that the Oracle driver was loaded with
  See Also:
    `oracle.sql.BLOB#DURATION_SESSION`, `oracle.sql.BLOB#MODE_READWRITE`, `oracle.sql.CLOB#DURATION_SESSION`, `oracle.sql.CLOB#MODE_READWRITE`
