11g Method -- byte[] JGeometry.store( JGeometry ) fails for certain SQL

Question

Hi All,
Using the new in 11g byte[] JGeometry.store( JGeometry ) method as oppose to the traditional STRUCT JGeometry.store( JGeometry, Connection) method fails for certain SQL statements.
It works fine for statements like this:
UPDATE PARCELS SET GEOM = ? WHERE ID = 47;
These statements give errors though:
UPDATE PARCELS SET GEOM = SDO_MIGRATE.TO_CURRENT( ?, (SELECT DIMINFO FROM USER_SDO_GEOM_METADATA WHERE TABLE_NAME = 'PARCELS' AND COLUMN_NAME = 'GEOM') ) WHERE ID = 47;
ORA-06553: PLS-306: wrong number or types of arguments in call to 'TO_CURRENT'
SELECT ID, LABEL, GEOM FROM PARCELS WHERE SDO_NN( GEOM, ?, 'SDO_BATCH_SIZE=5000' ) = 'TRUE';
ORA-29900: operator binding does not exist
ORA-06553: PLS-306: wrong number or types of arguments in call to 'SDO_NN'
? Being where I bind in the byte[] / Object as appropriate.
So I get the above errors when using setBytes( index,  JGeometry.store( jgeom ) ); but it work when using: setObject( index,  JGeometry.store( jgeom, con ) );
Is this a bug is known / will be fixed ?
Thanks,
Ronan

Ronan,
Typically this works fine in OC4J, but does not work in WLS or other containers since the connection type is different between.
In OC4J, the connection is an Oracle connection which can handle these object conversions.
We will try to improve the documentation for this to explicitly specify where this interface can be used.
