Hello, everyone.

I have an app which uses struts + hibernate. I was having a problem of 
corrupted blobs (which are treated by the app as byte[]), and so far I was 
blaming hibernate for that. But right now, making a test, I found out that 
my data gets corrupted BEFORE even being treated by hibernate. Here's what I 
have:

1. A jsp page that gets a String using html:text, property = descricao
2. An action form that has the descricao property as a byte[], together with 
its getters and setters
3. An action that takes data from this action form and puts it in my object, 
which by the way also has this property as a byte[], with its getters and 
setters.

So, what I wanna do is get this String and put in a blob field. Here comes 
my action code:

cor.setCor(addCorForm.getCor());
cor.setNome(addCorForm.getNome());
cor.setDescricao(addCorForm.getDescricao());
CorService.getInstance().addCor(cor);

That's basically it: I set the properties and add. The thing is that if I 
get the byte[] value of addCorForm.getDescricao() and convert it to a 
string, it gives me NULL or a lot of weird characters. That means my data is 
getting corrupted right there, before its insertion.

Another proof of it, is that if I insert a line in this table using the 
database's tool, I can retrieve the information through my application.

So... database tool = correct data. App = incorrect data, even before adding 
the object in the DB with hibernate. What I can think here is struts is 
corrupting... could it be?

1. Is html:text the correct component I have to use for this?
2. Do I have to make any conversion, being that I insert a String and it 
gets a byte[]?

How do you guys do it? Thank you all very much for the help
