Retrieving BLOB from Oracle 8.1.7

Question

I am having problems trying to extract a BLOB from and oracle dbase
I keep getting the same ERROR:
java.sql.SQLException: ORA-00942: table or view does not exist
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_LOB", line 492
ORA-06512: at line 1
The exception gets thrown on the folloiwng line
InputStream blobStream = blob.getBinaryStream();Here's my code. Any ideas would be most useful
public class testBlob
  public static void main(String args[])
    DatabaseRegistry dbaseRegistry = DatabaseRegistry.getInstance();
    Database ebbosDbase = dbaseRegistry.getDatabase("Test");
    Connection conn = null;
    try
      conn = ebbosDbase.getConnection();
      DatabaseMetaData dmeta = conn.getMetaData();
      OracleCallableStatement oracleStatement = (OracleCallableStatement)conn.prepareCall("begin email_dispatch_pkg.extract_email_templates( ? ); end;");
      oracleStatement.registerOutParameter(1, OracleTypes.CURSOR);
      oracleStatement.execute();
      ResultSet rst = oracleStatement.getCursor(1);
      ResultSetMetaData meta = rst.getMetaData();
      int columns = meta.getColumnCount();
      while(rst.next())
        for(int i=1; i <= columns ; i++)
          System.out.println("COLUMN NAME=" + meta.getColumnClassName(i));
          System.out.println("COLUMN TYPE=" + meta.getColumnTypeName(i));
        BLOB blob = ((OracleResultSet)rst).getBLOB(7);
        InputStream blobStream = blob.getBinaryStream();
        System.out.println("blob length : " + blob.length());
        FileOutputStream fileOutStream = new FileOutputStream("/home/mt04803/test.pdf");
        byte[] buffer = new byte[10];
        int nbytes = 0;
        while ((nbytes = blobStream.read(buffer))!= -1)
          fileOutStream.write(buffer,0,nbytes);
        fileOutStream.flush();
        fileOutStream.close();
        blobStream.close();
    catch(Exception e)
      e.printStackTrace();
    finally
      try
        ebbosDbase.close(conn);
      catch(Exception e)
        e.printStackTrace();
    System.exit(0);
}

I think the ORACLE Error says that the Table or View does not exists. So it is just that the table or procedure which u are executing is not visible to the User you are logging in as.
