Perhaps what you're looking for here is "it all just works out of the
box". In that case, the missing piece seems to be that the DDL that
Hibernate emits (or the DDL which you have set up by hand - I don't
know how you have things set up) does not match the data model that
Hibernate is expecting. If Hibernate is expecting a data model where
the lifecycle of the LO is managed by the database and there's only at
most one reference to a particular LO (i.e. you can't link to the same
LO from multiple places), then it can set up appropriate cleanup
triggers on LO columns as part of its DDL automatically. Or it could
just map blobs to bytea, which might be a more natural mapping in that
case anyway and doesn't require triggers etc. So you'd need to talk to
the Hibernate guys about making those changes.
