iBATIS/MySQL: error in syntax?

I'm trying to make BLOB insertion using Spring / iBATIS / MySQL work. Here's what I got so far

the sqlmap:

Code:

---

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE sqlMap PUBLIC "-//ibatis.apache.org//DTD SQL Map 2.0//EN" "http://ibatis.apache.org/dtd/sql-map-2.dtd" >
<sqlMap>
        <typeAlias alias="image" type="pay.dao.ibatis.test.ImageDO" />
                <resultMap class="image" id="image">
                        <result property="id" column="id" />
                        <result property="desc" column="desc" />
                        <result property="image" column="image" jdbcType="BLOB" javaType="[B" />
                </resultMap>



        <insert id="insertRecord" parameterClass="image">
                insert into pay_testblob (id,desc,image) values (#id#,#desc#,#image#)
        </insert>
       
        <update id="updateImage" parameterClass="image">
                update pay_testblob set image =#image# where id = #id#
        </update>
        <select id="getImageById" parameterClass="int" resultClass="java.lang.String">
                select image from pay_testblob where id = #id#
        </select>
</sqlMap>

The weird part is that I get this error when I invoke the insert :

Code:

I've successfully mapped other objects using iBATIS and the insert statements are pretty much straight forward. The only thing that is different in this case is that I wasn't using Spring transactions (in fact the tests were not using transactions) in all the other tests I've done and those tests didn't involve BLOBs. Here however, aside from BLOBs, I'm forced to use transactions.
