Accessing XMLType in a Java Stored Procedure

Question

I have the following piece of java test code that attempts to read an XMLType object from the database. When I run this client side, using either the oci or thin driver it works fine. When I run the same code as a java stored procedure I get the exception shown below.
(My system is 9.2.0.3 on Win2k)
Can anybody help?
Thanks
Java Test Code:
===============
import java.sql.*;
import oracle.sql.*;
import oracle.jdbc.*;
import oracle.xdb.*;
public class Test {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
System.out.println(run());
public static String run() throws Exception {
DriverManager.registerDriver(new oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver());
// client side THICK
//Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:oracle:oci8:@(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=localhost)(PORT=1521))(CONNECT_DATA=(SID=ORACLE)))", "scott", "tiger");
// client side THIN
//Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:ORACLE", "scott", "tiger");
// server side
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:default:connection");
OracleCallableStatement stmt = (OracleCallableStatement)conn.prepareCall("{? = call XDBUriType('/test.xml').getXML()}");
stmt.registerOutParameter (1, OracleTypes.OPAQUE,"SYS.XMLTYPE");
stmt.execute();
XMLType xml = XMLType.createXML(stmt.getOPAQUE(1));
return xml.getStringVal();

I have the very same problem. Somebody from Oracle Corp please reply. If this is a bug, please do not let us waste time to research a solution. Otherwise, point a way out!
Thanks,
