Creating an ObjectInputStream from a Blob!

[Shekar Atmakur]

Hi,
Could someone help me with a problem i have. Creating an ObjectInputStream from an InputStream crerated by a Blob is throwing an EOFException. Here is a code snippet.

  
Blob bl = rs.getBlob("SOME_OBJECT");
InputStream is = bl.getBinaryStream();
ObjectInputStream ois= new ObjectInputStream(is);
Object obj = (Object)ois.readObject();

I encounter the EOFException when i create the instance of the ObjectInputStream. See any problem?
Any help is appreciated.

thanks,
shekar

I have already posted this in the IO /Sterams section, but i think it fits in here too.

Shekar,
I'm going to lock this post. We ask people not to cross post as it makes discussion more complicated to follow. (Thanks for pointing out that you did so though.)

I posted a reply in your other thread. I think the problem is more about I/O and Serialization from the message. You can test this out by trying to output the binary stream itself. If this ends up being a JDBC question, PM a sheriff and they can move it back here.

Thanks,
Jeanne
