U may try to make your classes serializable (implement Serializable and overwrite

private void writeObject(java.io.ObjectOutputStream out) and private void readObject(java.io.ObjectInputStream in) )

Then get the output(input) stream of the BLOB and write to(read from) it

Of course there some complications may arise.
