Could I see the section of your code that has this problem?
For the stock JDBC methods to access a large object, you would need your
acl field to be of type oid, otherwise the driver will not recognise it
as a blob.
Also, as of 6.5, autocommit must be turned off, as large objects can
only be accessed from within a transaction.
I presume you are using the 6.5 version of the driver?

Subject: [INTERFACES] JDBC - large objects
I am having some problem getting the jdbc driver to work properly with
large objects using standard jdbc interfaces. The tables are pretty
much
standard relational tables except for one column that I serialize
implementations of the java.security.acl.Acl as objects into.
The error I get is: ERROR: lo_write: invalid large obj descriptor (0)
This was the same error I got running the blobtest until I applied
Tatsuo Ishii's
patch I found in the mailing list archives. I tried the same thing in my
code
(turn on explicit transactions when storing a blob) but it doesn't seem
to
have any effect.
I have tried defining the acl field in my create table statement as
both:
: :acl oid,: :
and
: :acl char[]: :
And see same thing.
The same (java) code runs fine using Oracle 8 and their thin driver.
I guess what I need to know is: is what I am trying to do possible using
PostgreSQL/JDBC without using the PostgreSQL extensions? (not an
option for me). If so, what should I use for serialized columns in the
create table sql statement? Can it be done without turning off
autocommit?
Thanks in advance for any help anyone can provide.
Cordially,

ps: My environment is:
