Dear Readers,

I am working on implementing a custom Document Management System using the Oracle XML DB Content Connector. See the following documentation link for details

Oracle XML DB Developer's Guide 11g Release 2 (11.2)
Chapter 31 Using Oracle XML DB Content Connector
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/appdev.112/e23094/xdb_jcr.htm

especially the following example gave me some trouble to run it successfully

Sample Code to Upload File
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/appdev.112/e23094/xdb_jcr.htm#ADXDB5627

I had already succeeded to set some of the properties successfully, i.e.
jcr:encoding, jcr:mimeType, ojcr:displayName and ojcr:language.

However
setting the jcr:data property as described in the example failed
consistently, both with the documented input FileStream or with a fixed
string.

contentNode.setProperty("jcr:data", "mystringvalue");

After some research I found the following Support Note which describes the cause for the issue in the JDBC driver version 11.2.0.1.

Error "ORA-17068: Invalid argument(s) in call" Using Method setBinaryStream(0L) in JDBC 11.2.0.1 (Doc ID 1234235.1)
https://support.oracle.com/epmos/faces/DocContentDisplay?id=1234235.1

It can easily be solved by upgrading to JDBC 11.2.0.2 or worked around using the following property setting:

java -Doracle.jdbc.LobStreamPosStandardCompliant=false ...

Kind regards,
Stefan
