You should probably have posted that to the JDBC mailing list.

I am using the following code successfully:

PreparedStatement stmt = connection.prepareStatement("insert into blob_table (id, blob_data) values (?,?)";

File f = new File("pretty_image.jpg");
FileInputStream f = new FileInputStream(f);
stmt.setInt(1, 42),
stmt.setBinaryStream(2, f, (int)f.length());
stmt.executeUpdate();

connection.commit();

Note that the field blob_table is defined as bytea in Postgres
