Dain,

sorry i didn't respond sooner. the problem turned out to be that you cannot serialize and store a null object reference from JBoss into Oracle. one must make sure to initialize objects to be persisted (collections, in my case) inside the ejbCreate() method. hope this helps.

Well, somewhat good news. We have successfully migrated to the JBoss-3.0.0_Tomcat-4.0.3 package and got most everything running. However, the Oracle BLOB problem still occurs. Since we downloaded the binary package, I didn't see the source code to check if the patch was made to that distribution package for this problem.

I retrieved the CVS for "Branch_3_0" but am unsure exactly which version this entails (if it matches the JBoss version in the JB/TC package). I took a peek at the sources in the org/jboss/ejb/plugins/jaws/jdbc/ folder and they seem to have "some" of the patch changes applied.

Does anyone know if the Oracle BLOB "patch" was applied to the JB300/TC403 package? Thanks!
