Reading a XMLType column in a oracle DB using JDBC

Question

I am trying to read an XMLType column into a Clob type variable using JDBC. I am getting an error when I do this.... Any ideas?

java.sql.SQLException: Invalid column name

    at persistance.FilmDAO.findFilmsWithXML(FilmDAO.java:626)

This is my code:

public ArrayList<FilmBean> findFilmsWithXML() throws SQLException {

        ArrayList<FilmBean> filmList = new ArrayList<FilmBean>();

        try {
            currentConnection = ConnectionPool.getInstance().getConnection();

            String searchQuery = SqlHelper.getInstance().getSqlQuery(705);

            System.out.println("Query: " + searchQuery);

            currentStatement = currentConnection.prepareStatement(searchQuery);

            currentResultSet = currentStatement.executeQuery();

            while (currentResultSet.next()) 
            {
                FilmBean filmDTO = new FilmBean();
                filmDTO.setFilmId(Integer.parseInt(currentResultSet.getString("PK_ID_FILM")));
                filmDTO.setPoster(currentResultSet.getString("POSTER"));
                filmDTO.setTitle(currentResultSet.getString("TITLE"));
                filmDTO.setXml(currentResultSet.getClob("MYXML"));
                filmList.add(filmDTO);
            }
        }
        [...]
    }

The setXml() method sets a Clob type value into the filmDTO object in the model.

EDIT

The query was missing an alias:

SELECT to_clob("MYXML") As MYCLOB, PK_ID_FILM, POSTER, TITLE FROM FILM Where MYXML is not null

Answer 1

You are missing an alias after to_clob(XMLElement("MYXML")). The column MYXML does not exist in the query.
