How do I return an object in a Java REST API endpoint that has a BLOB property?
Question
In debug mode, everything works fine until the return statement of the endpoint method and I'm getting the below error when I attempt to invoke it via Postman. However it works fine with other endpoints that return objects that do not contain binary fields. Am I missing something?

A Blob (and probably a SerialBlob) can't be serialised because it's a reference to a DB column.
Get the byte[] contents of the column with the following:
Blob blob = rs.getBlob("SomeDatabaseField");
int blobLength = (int) blob.length();
byte[] blobAsBytes = blob.getBytes(1, blobLength);
blob.free();
Now a byte[] also can't be serialised because not all the chars are readable, so it needs to be converted to a text string. The standard way is to base 64 encode:
String encodedString = Base64.getEncoder().encodeToString(blobAsBytes);
Now you have a string field that can be included in a JSON object.
