I have no idea, but you can find out the classname which is mapped by JDBC at the following ways:
// Retrieve mapped class name by metadata.
ResultSetMetaData metaData = resultSet.getMetaData();
String className = metaData.getColumnClassName("columnname");
System.out.println(className); // Prints the mapped class name. I.e. java.sql.Blob or java.sql.Clob
// Or just upcast to object and lookup the instantiated class.
Object object = resultSet.getObject("columnname");
String className = object.getClass().getName();
System.out.println(className); // Prints the mapped class name. I.e. java.sql.Blob or java.sql.Clob
