can't prevent jdbc driver defaulting to LONG, OracleDB

Question

Problem is that when i have a file in a mediocre size (4+ chars) but below some 10k'ish.
Then the driver will default my String into a LONG, which results in this error:
ORA-01461: can bind a LONG value only for insert into a LONG column

Found out the error occurs with string sizes between 4k and 40k.

I've tried many many things to change this, but nothing seems to work. I really hope someone can help me.

Here is the controller class:

@RequestMapping(value = "/uploadFile/{companiesId}/{day}/{month}/{year}/{userId}/{orgId}",
            method = RequestMethod.POST, headers = "Accept=*")
    public void uploadFile(@PathVariable("companiesId") int companiesId,
            @PathVariable("day") int day, @PathVariable("month") int month,
            @PathVariable("year") int year, @PathVariable("userId") int userId,
            @RequestParam(value = "file") MultipartFile multipartFile,
            Model model, HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response, @PathVariable("orgId") Integer orgId) {
        Calendar date = Calendar.getInstance();
        date.set(Calendar.YEAR, year);
        date.set(year, month - 1, day);
        System.out.println("date: " + date.getTime());
        String fileName = multipartFile.getOriginalFilename();
        String fileContent = null;
        try {
            InputStream is = multipartFile.getInputStream();
            byte[] bytes = IOUtils.toByteArray(is);
            String fileData = new String(bytes);
            fileContent = fileData ;

        } catch (IOException ex) {
            java.util.logging.Logger.getLogger(HomeController.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
            throw new RuntimeException(ex);
        }
        Session session = sessionFactory.openSession();
        long insertedFileId = -1;
        Transaction t = session.beginTransaction();
        t.begin();
        if (fileContent != null) {
            ImportFile file = new ImportFile();
            file.setFileDate(date.getTime());
            file.setFileName(fileName);
            file.setContent(fileContent);
            file.setChangedBy(userId);
            file.setCreatedBy(userId);
            file.setCompaniesId(companiesId);
            file.setOrgId(orgId);
            session.persist(file);
            insertedFileId = file.getId();
        }
        t.commit();
}

Here is Entity class:

    @Id
    @Column(name = "IMPORT_COST_FILES_ID")
    @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.AUTO, generator = "WHMOD_SEQ")
    @SequenceGenerator(name = "WHMOD_SEQ", sequenceName = "warehouse.WHMOD_SEQ")
    private Long id;

    @Column(name = "FILE_NAME")
    private String fileName;
    @Column(name = "COMPANIES_ID")
    private Integer companiesId;
    @Column(name = "CHANGED_BY")
    private Integer changedBy;
    @Column(name = "CREATED_BY")
    private Integer createdBy;
    @Column(name = "FILE_CONTENT")
    @Lob
    private String content;
    @Column(name = "File_date")
    @Temporal(javax.persistence.TemporalType.DATE)
    private Date fileDate;
    @Column(name = "ORG_ID")
    private Integer orgId;
}
