I tried changing the String to OctetString, but that didn't work as in 
BindParameter expects String

Yes correct. The error message unclear.
Max 9 COctet String would result max 8 character on java string.

"In the case of all C-Octet String formats, the maximum field size is shown as 
a combination of string length and the NULL terminator, i.e., an 8-character 
C-Octet String is encoded in 9 octets when the NULL terminator is included."

Please use the string less than 9, the patch are on going.
Thanks for the report.
