Installation of patch 5206270 in JDeveloper

Question

Hi,
I am trying to create a webservice for a PL/SQL RECORD type out procedure. When I try to run this webservice I get the following error:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<env:Envelope xmlns:env="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"

PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "$" when expecting one of the following:

This is a known bug and is described on metalink:

A patch (5206270) has been released, however I don't know how I should install this in JDeveloper. I am using JDeveloper 10.1.3.2. It looks to me that I have to create a new translator.jar but I don't know exactly what I should do.
Your help would be very much appreciated.
Thanks, J

Judas,
That note & patch documentation is pretty confusing, I agree.
My guess is that they want you to apply the patch against an AS 10.1.3 installation and then copy the translator.jar to your jdev home - to get an official answer, probably best to file an SR.
However, the patch itself is pretty simple, and if you're comfortable getting your hands dirty, you could try this:
1. download the patch
2. make a backup copy of <your_jdev_home>\sqlj\lib\translator.jar
3. use an appropriate utility to expand translator.jar (winzip, jar xvf, etc)
4. replace the two files in the expanded translator.jar with the two class files from the patch (in <patch>\files\sqlj\lib\translator.jar\....)
5. Re-build translator.jar
Hope this is enough to get you going.
Best,
John
