setting blob to null using PreparedStatement

I am creating webapplication using JSF2.0 where in mysql, I am storing images using datatype as MEDIUMBLOB.

To insert values, I am using PreparedStatement as shown below.

PreparedStatement psmnt = con.prepareStatement("INSERT INTO sketchesSG002003 (userid, imageTitle, imageData, drawingComments) VALUES (?,?,?,?)");
psmnt.setLong(1, personalInfoId);
psmnt.setString(2, sketchesSG002003Title);

try {
    String fileName = FilenameUtils.getName(sketchesSG002003ImageUpload.getName());
    File image = new File(fileName);
    InputStream fis = sketchesSG002003ImageUpload.getInputStream();
    psmnt.setBinaryStream(3, fis, (int) sketchesSG002003ImageUpload.getSize());
} catch (Exception e) {
    psmnt.setBinaryStream(3, null);
}
psmnt.setString(4, sketchesSG002003Comments);
i = psmnt.executeUpdate();

However I am getting error as

java.lang.AbstractMethodError: com.mysql.jdbc.PreparedStatement.setBinaryStream(ILjava/io/InputStream;)V

Some part of Stacktrace is

 javax.faces.el.EvaluationException: java.lang.AbstractMethodError: com.mysql.jdbc.PreparedStatement.setBinaryStream(ILjava/io/InputStream;)V

I believe above error is for statement psmnt.setBinaryStream(3, null);

My question is how can I set binary data as Null or Nothing?

What is going wrong these days? I get solution after I ask question :(

psmnt.setNull(3, java.sql.Types.BLOB); did the trick.
