[Springframework-developer] OracleLobHandler on WebSphere 6.0

[Juergen H. <ju...@in...>]

We have a report about an issue with Spring's OracleLobHandler on WebSphere
6.0:
http://opensource2.atlassian.com/projects/spring/browse/SPR-1317

Our WebSphereNativeJdbcExtractor seems to work, actually. It's rather that
WebSphere returns an object of class "oracle.jdbc.Connection" as underlying
connection there, not an "oracle.jdbc.driver.Connection" - as expected by
our OracleLobHandler, according to the Oracle 9i+ JDBC API.

Could this be caused by a different Oracle driver that WebSphere uses, at
least in that specific scenario? Maybe it uses an older Oracle driver that
doesn't support the "oracle.jdbc.driver" package yet? Has anybody ever
encountered this, no matter whether on WebSphere or not?

It would be great if someone with access to a WebSphere 6.0 + Oracle
installation could give this a try and see whether there's a way to solve
the issue...
