Inserting geometry using JDBC PreparedStatement

Is there a way to use JDBC PreparedStatements to insert geospatial data?

Here's what my prepared statement looks like:

PreparedStatement statement = sqlRunner.prepareStatement(insertStatement); statement.setString(1, id); statement.setString(2, feature.getName()); statement.setString(3, feature.getDescription()); statement.setString(4, feature.getType().toString()); statement.setString(5, feature.getGeometry()); statement.executeUpdate();

In this case, feature.getGeometry() returns a string in WKT format.

Here's the error I get:

EXEC: wrong type for argument 5 of prepared statement: char, expected geometry

Thoughts?

Thanks,
