com.mysql.jdbc.UpdatableResultSet.updateBlob gives AbstractMethodError

Hi all,

I'm quite new to all jdbc, but so far working with resultset's over
SQL seemed easy so far, but I'm having some problems writing a blob to
the database.
What I try to do is two steps:
1. read an image from the web and write it to a blob
2. read the blob and display it as an image

I did the same thing before without trying to write to the blob, but I
want to store the images in DB because the only stay on the web for a
couple of weeks.

Googling for UpdatableResultset updateBlob AbstractMethodError gets me
lost. Any help is well appreciated.

By the way: the image is 18257 bytes and max_allowed_packet of MySQL
is 1048576

Anyone? thanx
