Problem with ojdbc14.jar (oracle10g Rel. 2 driver) in updating a BLOB field

Question

Hello All,
Our web application uses oracle10g Release 2 jdbc driver with websphere 5.1.1.4 and oracle 9i. When it tries to update a BLOB field in the database updation is successful but it is updating that field with a null value. So rest of our application fails as this value is becoming null. We use an entity bean to update this table and websphere uses a prepared statement to update this table. Just before setting this BLOB field using setBinaryStream() on prepared statement I am printing to see whether it is null or not as shown in the code snippet below. And it is printing it correctly as non null. But after execution of the prepared statement some how the value stored in database is null.
Is this a known issue with this driver? Does any one know work around or a solution to this? We have 3 BLOB fields in that table. Is that a problem? If we separate these BLOB fields into separate tables will the problem be solved? Any input on this is very much appreciated.
// For column ORIGINAL_CONTENT
byte[] tempbyteArray;
tempbyteArray=(byte[])inputRecord.get(25);
if (tempbyteArray == null) {
System.out.println("DqPageBeanFunctionSet_f9c724af: tempbyteArray NULLLLLLL");
} else {
System.out.println("DqPageBeanFunctionSet_f9c724af: orig tempbyteArray length: " + tempbyteArray.length);
if(tempbyteArray != null) {
pstmt.setBinaryStream(25,new java.io.ByteArrayInputStream(tempbyteArray),tempbyteArray.length);
else pstmt.setNull(25,java.sql.Types.BLOB);
Thanks & Regards,
