Java Datatype mapping with psotgres cidr type

[saakshi joshi]

Hi,
I want to get the range of ipadresses stored postgres table with column type cidr .
But I am getting an exception when trying to insert any row through my javacode whenever I pass ipaddress value as String
ERROR: column "ipaddress" is of type cidr but expression is of type character varying

So does anyone know which JavaType is mapped with postgres cidr datatype?

Or is there any other way to find ipaddress range using Java and storing ipaddress as varchar in postgres table?

Seems like it should be String. Can you show the code that throws the error.? Are you using the JDBC driver that came with the database?
