How to get Geometry object by selecting shape column from oracle?

I am trying to get Geometry object directly from sql.

I use this sql:

select shape from table;

Then try to get Geometry object by these codes:

//ResultSet rs, String columnName
byte[] bytes = rs.getBytes(columnName);
ByteBuffer buffer = ByteBuffer.wrap(bytes);
OperatorImportFromESRIShape op = (OperatorImportFromESRIShape) OperatorFactoryLocal.getInstance().getOperator(Operator.Type.ImportFromESRIShape);
Geometry g = op.execute(0, Geometry.Type.Unknown, buffer);

But result is null. Please show me a way how to get Geometry object directly from sql.

Thanks Gavin Men

@FalconIA ST_AsBinary returns wkb. Try OperatorImportFromWkb.

@stolstov Ok, i got it. ArcSDE does not store geometries ESRI Shape format, just the column called SHAPE. I will use OperatorImportFromWkb instead.

Thanks
