mysql jdbc driver does not support delimiters in triggers with multiple statements

Question

i've got some code that is triggering a syntax error because of some misplaced semicolons. if this was running on the command line, i'd solve this with a delimiter. unfortunately, the jdbc4 driver doesn't seem to recognize delimiters. anyway to get this to run?

delimiter |
CREATE TRIGGER obs_update BEFORE UPDATE ON obs
FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
   IF OLD.voided = 0 AND NEW.voided = 1 THEN
      DELETE FROM clinic_obs WHERE id = OLD.obs_id;
   ELSE
      UPDATE clinic_obs SET clinic_obs.revision_token = NOW()
      WHERE NEW.obs_id = clinic_obs.id;
   END IF;
END;
