Hi, I have written the following servlet:

[code] package com.nitish.servlets; import javax.servlet.*; import java.io.*; import java.sql.*; import javax.sql.*; import oracle.sql.*;

public class RequestServlet extends GenericServlet{ public void init(ServletConfig sc)throws ServletException{ try{ Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver"); }//try catch(Exception e){ throw new ServletException("Unable to load the driver"); }//catch }//init public void service(ServletRequest req,ServletResponse res)throws ServletException,IOException{ String name=req.getParameter("name"); String college=req.getParameter("college"); String university=req.getParameter("university"); String contactno=req.getParameter("contactno"); String[] course=req.getParameterValues("Course"); String photo=req.getParameter("photo"); byte []b=photo.getBytes(); //ByteArrayInputStream bis=new ByteArrayInputStream(b); Blob b1=new SerialBlob(b); PrintWriter out =res.getWriter(); Connection con=null; PreparedStatement ps=null; try{ con=DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:xe","system","nitish"); ps=con.prepareStatement("insert into stenquiry values(?,?,?,?,?)"); ps.setString(1,name); ps.setString(2,college); ps.setString(3,university); ps.setString(4,contactno); ArrayDescriptor ad=ArrayDescriptor.createDescriptor("COURSEARRAY",con); ARRAY a=new ARRAY(ad,con,course); ps.setArray(5,a); ps.setBlob(6,b1); //ps.setBlob(6,bis); ps.executeUpdate(); out.println("Records Inserted Successfully"); }//try catch(Exception e){} finally{ try{ ps.close(); con.close(); }//try catch(Exception e){ e.printStackTrace(); }//catch }//finally }//service }//class [/code]

The problem I am facing is when I tried to compile the code, it gave me error saying that cannot find symbol:SerialBlob(); , while I have set the classpath for ojdbc14.jar prior to compilation.

And instead of using blob object in setBlob(), I also tried to use input stream. It compiled successfully, but when I executed the program, it gave me error as follows:

java.lang.AbstractMethodError: oracle.jdbc.driver.T4CPreparedStatement.setBlob(ILjava/io/InputStream;)V com.stech.servlets.RequestServlet.service(RequestServlet.java:40) I am not getting why is this happening.
