Oracle Blob using Java help (Error: JVM_recv in socket input stream read )

Question

I am trying to insert a record with Blob column (size of image 'mg.jpg' about 15KB) and I get the runtime error:
[java] java.sql.SQLException: Io exception: Connection reset by peer: JVM_recv in socket input stream read
[java]      at oracle.jdbc.dbaccess.DBError.throwSqlException(DBError.java:134)
[java]      at oracle.jdbc.dbaccess.DBError.throwSqlException(DBError.java:179)
[java]      at oracle.jdbc.dbaccess.DBError.throwSqlException(DBError.java:333)

[java]      at oracle.jdbc.driver.OraclePreparedStatement.executeUpdate(OraclePreparedStatement.java:589)
[java]      at test.ProvisioningParser.TestBlob.main(Unknown Source)
This is what code looks like: I am not sure what's wrong, any help appreciated. Thanks!
     try{
               Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver");
               con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:oracle:thin:@VALUED-20606295:1521:dbbook","jvending","jvending");
               java.util.zip.ZipInputStream zip = new java.util.zip.ZipInputStream(new java.io.FileInputStream(new java.io.File("D:\\work\\mywork\\source\\test\\ProvisioningParser\\test.par"))) ;
               int len = 0 ;
               java.util.zip.ZipEntry entry = null;
               do{
                    entry = zip.getNextEntry();
                    if (entry != null){
                         if (entry.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("mg.jpg")){
                              len = (int)entry.getSize();
                              break;
               }while(entry!=null) ;
               stmt = con.prepareStatement( "Insert into icon (parid, clientbundleid, id, iconfile ) values ( ?,?,?,?)"
                     stmt.setString(1,"101");
                     stmt.setString(2,"101");
                     stmt.setInt(3,1);                    
                     stmt.setBinaryStream( 4, zip, len);
               stmt.setQueryTimeout(0);
               stmt.executeUpdate();
               con.close();               
          catch(Exception e){
               e.printStackTrace();
          }Thanks,

As a guess what you are doing with that zip stuff is very odd.
You do realize that it is just going to put some binary data into the blob right? And the methods that is going to use will not necessarily create a 'complete' zip file?
If you want a zip file then just load the file, dont use the zip classes.
And if you want part of a zip file, (and want to store the parts as a zip) then extract it from the file and create another zip entity using a byte stream rather than a file.
Finally I suspect your error with the blob occurs because you do not close the statement. But at any rate you should figure out how to do the blob code independent of the zip stuff.
And what oracle driver version are you using? Some of the older ones need oracle specific handling for blobs.
