Jelly SQL tags and raw datatype

[Mark Tombs <mt...@chello.se>]

I am having trouble using jelly to access a 'raw' datatype from an Oracle 
database. 

This is what I am trying to do. I have data in a 'proprietary' format stored 
in raw fields in an Oracle database, and I have a class for parsing the data 
in the raw field to give me some useful information. In traditional java code 
using jdbc, my class works fine. 

I have written a custom tag that wraps my class, so that I can manipulate the 
raw data from a jelly script. Heres the problem : the jelly script (read the 
jstl sql tags) don't seem to extract the same data from the raw field as the 
java code does; for a start, I get a lot less data. 

Any ideas?

thanks

Mark

After looking around for a while it looks like the jstl tags return the memory 
address for raws, blobs, clobs etc instead of the actual value. Could this be 
true?

I've worked around it now anyway.
