My Servlet code is using a CachedRowSet to get a blob datatype from mySQL4 database using getBlob() function,from the table
uploads(uploadid int(10),filename varchar(20),BINARYFILE BLOB);

using the following code.

CachedRowSet rs;
rs =new CachedRowSetImpl();
rs.setCommand("SELECT * FROM uploads2");
rs.execute(con);

while(rs.next()){
System.out.println("hi there");
String s=rs.getString("filename"); //executes successfully

java.sql.Blob image=
rs.getBlob("BINARYFILE");
//throws exception
}
catch(java.sql.SQLException s){
System.out.println("SQLException:"+s.getMessage);
}

---------jboss output console----------------
12:04:15,942 INFO [STDOUT] hi there
12:04:15,942 INFO [STDOUT] Type is :-4

kindly help me .
If I use simple ResultSet instead of CachedRowSet ,
then though it works but then ResultSets are not Serializable.(i.e the only reason i want to use CachedRowSet
beacuase they are Serializable)

Please help.

regards
robin
