This bug has been fixed as of Monday.  They (Hackers group) have also fixed a big hairy bug with the backend.  If you use the anonymous cvs to checkout the latest snapshot, you will
find an ImageViewer.java example that works, the blobtest.java works also.

I also use code such as this to work fine:


  // The UPDATE statement to be used for populating the item_picture and
  // item_descr columns
  String itemUpdateStmt = "UPDATE item SET item_picture = ?, item_descr = ?"+
   " WHERE item_num = ?";
   // Create a PreparedStatement object & use it to update the item_picture
   // and item_descr columns in the item table
   PreparedStatement updateStmt = conn.prepareStatement(itemUpdateStmt);
    // File names for the image & text files
    String itemPictureFileName = ("item_" + new Integer(i).toString()
             + ".gif");
    String itemDescrFileName = ("item_" + new Integer(i).toString()
           + ".txt");

    // java.io.File objects corresponding to the image & text files
    File itemPictureFile = new File(itemPictureFileName);
    File itemDescrFile = new File(itemDescrFileName);

    // Byte arrays to store text & byte data for the item_picture and
    // item_descr columns
    byte itemPictureArray [] = new byte[(int)itemPictureFile.length()];
    String itemDescrString = "";

    // Using java.io.FileInputStream to reading the image & text files
    // into byte arrays
    FileInputStream itemPictureInputStream = new
     FileInputStream(itemPictureFile);
    itemPictureInputStream.read(itemPictureArray, 0,
           (int)itemPictureFile.length());

    FileReader fr = new FileReader(itemDescrFile);
    BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(fr);
    String lineIn;
    while ((lineIn = br.readLine()) != null)
     itemDescrString += lineIn;

    // Set the values of the parameters & execute the statement
    updateStmt.setBytes(1, itemPictureArray);
    updateStmt.setString(2, itemDescrString);
    updateStmt.setInt(3, i);
    updateStmt.executeUpdate();


Then to read/view the image, I do:

     // read the image from the resultset
     byte itemPictureArray [] = queryResults.getBytes(2);
      Image img = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().createImage(itemPictureArray);
      itemPictureCanvas.setImage(img);
      itemPictureCanvas.repaint();
