What is the definition of the 'resources' table?
I suspect from your description and the error that you are getting
confused between bit(n) (bit string) and bytea (binary data). For your
application it sounds like you want to use bytea. There's no direct
mapping of bit(n) types in JDBC.
See http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.0/static/datatype-binary.html and
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.0/static/datatype-bit.html.
