Answer 1

I had the same problem using WebLogic and Oracle. I found the solution in the doc: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B19306_01/appdev.102/b14259/xdb11jav.htm under the section "Loading a Large XML Document into the Database with JDBC"

The only problem I had with this was that the CLOB.createTemporary required an OracleConnection, but my connection object was of type $ProxyXX which I could not cast to OracleConnection without getting a ClassCastException. Solved it buy using conn.getMetaData().getConnection() that got me a T4CConnection which I could cast to OracleConnection.
