JDBC to Lotus Notes, only 255 bytes be read for each field. Any clue?

Question

Hi,
I am programming with JDBC to Lotus Notes. I can extract data from .nsf files but for each field, only 255 bytes can be read, all the rest got truncated. I ran the ResultSetMetaData.DisplayColumnSize(), it returns 255.
What is the problem? How can I extract larger strings (such as 700 bytes)? I tried bloc data type, it doesn't help.
In the API docs, there is a RowSetMetaData that has a SetColumnSize() method, but I can not find an implemented package of it, also not sure it will work. Any suggestion will be deeply appreciated!
Thanks!
William

You must declare the filed Rich Text, not Only Text, because the Method GetString only get 255... although your filed have more caracters...
If you declare rich Text you must use tgetAsciiStream Method...
suppose the filed 2 is Rich Text...
             byte[] buffer = new byte[4096];
             int size;
             InputStream strin = rs.getAsciiStream(2);
             if(strin == null){
                System.out.println("notas es null\n");
             else {
                for(;;){
                    try {
                    size = strin.read(buffer);
                    if(size <= 0){
                       break;
                    System.out.print(new String(buffer,0,size));
                    } catch (java.io.IOException e){
                       e.printStackTrace();
