Illustrating Use of Large OBjects (LOBs) ERROR

Question

I download the sample JAR file and follow the instruction in:
http://otn.oracle.com/sample_code/tech/java/sqlj_jdbc/files/advanced/LOBSample/Readme.html
I am using Windows 2000 and unjar the files to C:\LOBSample
I login SQL Plus login as SYS and create a new user called "LOBSAMPLE" with password "LOBSAMPLE" and
grant connect,resource to LOBSAMPLE;
I run JDeveloper 9.0.2 and open "LOBSample.jws" and modify the file: Misc.properties
map = C:\\LOBSample\\misc\\map.gif
suggestions = C:\\LOBSample\\misc\\suggestionbook.txt
and the file: Connection.properties# Your Database Connection details
HostName = localhost
SID = ORA9i
Port = 1521
UserName = LOBSAMPLE
Password = LOBSAMPLE
I compile the code with 0 errors. When I run the project by selecting Run/Run LOBSample.jpr, the following error appears:
Error Querying OTN_AIRPORTS table:
java.sql.SQLException: ORA-00942: table or view does not exist
I login SQLPlus as LOBSAMPLE and type
SQL>select * from cat;
TABLE_NAME TABLE_TYPE
OTN_AIRPORT_LOB_DETAILS TABLE
There is only ONE table with no data.
What has gone wrong?
Do I have to grant other access rights/roles to the new Oracle user "LOBSAMPLE"?
Can any one help me?

Hi,
The error is caused as the otn_airports table is not created.
This is the command to create the table:
CREATE TABLE otn_airports(airport_code VARCHAR2(3),
description VARCHAR2(80), name VARCHAR2(40) NOT NULL)
The same query is present in createTable() method of PopulateTable class.
Check if the query is proper.
If you face the same problem again then create the table
using the above command manually and insert the data using the following commands:
INSERT INTO otn_airports(airport_code, description, name) VALUES("ABE","Regional Airport","Allentown");
INSERT INTO otn_airports(airport_code, description, name) VALUES("ABI","Municipal","Abilene");
INSERT INTO otn_airports(airport_code, description, name) VALUES("ABQ","International Airport","Albuquerque");
INSERT INTO otn_airports(airport_code, description, name) VALUES("ABR","Regional Airport","Aberdeen");
INSERT INTO otn_airports(airport_code, description, name) VALUES("ABX","Albury","Albury");
INSERT INTO otn_airports(airport_code, description, name) VALUES("ABY","County Airport","Albany");
INSERT INTO otn_airports(airport_code, description, name) VALUES("ABZ","Dyce","Aberdeen");
INSERT INTO otn_airports(airport_code, description, name) VALUES("ACA","International Airport","Acapulco");
INSERT INTO otn_airports(airport_code, description, name) VALUES("ACE","Lanzarote","Lanzarote");
INSERT INTO otn_airports(airport_code, description, name) VALUES("ACI","The Blaye","Alderney");
Now run the sample.
