## org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.support
Class BlobStringType

    java.lang.Object
      org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.support.AbstractLobType
          org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.support.BlobStringType

All Implemented Interfaces:
  org.hibernate.usertype.UserType

    public class BlobStringType

extends AbstractLobType

Hibernate UserType implementation for Strings that get mapped to BLOBs. Retrieves the LobHandler to use from LocalSessionFactoryBean at config time.

This is intended for the (arguably unnatural, but still common) case where character data is stored in a binary LOB. This requires encoding and decoding the characters within this UserType; see the javadoc of the `getCharacterEncoding()` method.

Can also be defined in generic Hibernate mappings, as DefaultLobCreator will work with most JDBC-compliant database drivers. In this case, the field type does not have to be BLOB: For databases like MySQL and MS SQL Server, any large enough binary type will work.

Since:
  1.2.7

                                         UnsupportedEncodingException

  Description copied from class: `AbstractLobType`
  Template method to extract a value from the given result set.

  Specified by:
    `nullSafeGetInternal` in class `AbstractLobType`
  Parameters:
    `rs` - the ResultSet to extract from
    `names` - the column names
    `owner` - the containing entity
    `lobHandler` - the LobHandler to use
  Returns:
    the extracted value
  Throws:
    `SQLException` - if thrown by JDBC methods
    `UnsupportedEncodingException`

### nullSafeSetInternal

    protected void nullSafeSetInternal(PreparedStatement ps,
                                       int index,
                                       Object value,

                                throws SQLException,
                                       UnsupportedEncodingException

  Description copied from class: `AbstractLobType`
  Template method to set the given parameter value on the given statement.

  Specified by:
    `nullSafeSetInternal` in class `AbstractLobType`
  Parameters:
    `ps` - the PreparedStatement to set on
    `index` - the statement parameter index
    `value` - the value to set
    `lobCreator` - the LobCreator to use
  Throws:
    `SQLException` - if thrown by JDBC methods
    `UnsupportedEncodingException`

### getCharacterEncoding

    protected String getCharacterEncoding()

  Determine the character encoding to apply to the BLOB's bytes to turn them into a String.

  Default is `null`, indicating to use the platform default encoding. To be overridden in subclasses for a specific encoding such as "ISO-8859-1" or "UTF-8".

  Returns:
    the character encoding to use, or `null` to use the platform default encoding
