Does the ImageViewer example included with the source work? It shows two
methods of loading an image into a BLOB.
Here's from the source:
// fetch the large object manager
LargeObjectManager lom = ((org.postgresql.Connection)db).getLargeObjectAPI();
db.setAutoCommit(false);
// A temporary buffer - this can be as large as you like
byte buf[] = new byte[2048];
// Open the file
FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(new File(dir,name));
// Now create the large object
int oid = lom.create();
LargeObject blob = lom.open(oid);
// Now copy the file into the object.
//
// Note: we dont use write(buf), as the last block is rarely the same
// size as our buffer, so we have to use the amount read.
int s,t=0;
while((s=fis.read(buf,0,buf.length))>0) {
t+=s;
blob.write(buf,0,s);
}
// Close the object
blob.close();
The 7.x Driver should work. If not, the 7.0 source does include the
correct 6.5.3 source (it didn't get released with 6.5.3 due to me messing
up the cvs commit :-( )

Also, you are using transactions (see the setAutoCommit(false) above)?
