Oracle provides some hints like this.

Example demonstrating the use of the JDBC 2.0 Clob
and Blob classes.  With the Oracle JDBC drivers version 8.1.6, these classes
can be used in place of oracle.sql.CLOB and oracle.sql.BLOB respectively.
The example requires the 8.1.6 JDBC driver (classes12.zip) to be used with
JDK version 1.2.  The program is written to connect via the thin driver.  You
need to update the connect string as appropriate for your database.

To run the program, first create the following table and data as scott/tiger:

create table test_lob (c1 number, c2 clob, c3 blob);

insert into test_lob values (10, 'This is some text for a clob column',
           utl_raw.cast_to_raw('This is some text for a blob column'));

Then ensure that you have your CLASSPATH pointing to JDK1.2 and classes12.zip.

       raw_buffer = b_lob.getBytes( 1, (int)b_lob.length() );
         out_buffer = new String( raw_buffer );
         System.out.println( out_buffer );

         // Writing data to Lobs:
         // There are no methods to do this with java.sql.Clob/Blob.  
         //
         // For oracle.sql.CLOB there is getAsciiOutputStream() to write via
         // an ascii stream and getCharacterOutputStream() to write via a
         // unicode one, plus putChars() to write a char array and putString()
         // to write a String - both at a given position within the Clob.  For
         // oracle.sql.BLOB there is getBinaryOutputStream() and putBytes().  
         // There are also oracle.jdbc.driver classes to do similar that
         // take oracle.sql.CLOB/BLOB as appropriate, namely:
         //       OracleBlobOutputStream()
         //       OracleClobOutputStream()
         //       OracleClobWriter()
         // (Note all three classes have corresponding input/reader classes.)
         //
         // Hence to write data to the lobs here it is necessary to cast the
         // Clob and Blob to oracle.sql.CLOB and oracle.sql.BLOB respectively
         // and use one of the methods listed above.  E.g. to append to the
         // clob column:
         ((oracle.sql.CLOB)c_lob).putString( (int)c_lob.length()+1, "\nBye!" );

         // To check the data has been input correctly read it back via the
         // getSubString() method.  Note, unlike CLOB, Clob has no getChars()
         // method to return data as a char array.
         System.out.println( c_lob.getSubString( 1, (int)c_lob.length() ) );
         
         results.close();
         pstmt.close();

         // Commit.
         conn.commit();
      }
      catch ( Exception e )
      {
        System.out.println( "\nError occurred:\n" + e + "\n" );
      }
   }
}
