Answer: OracleXMLSave and SDO_GEOMETRY type

Question

I am generating XML data from table that contains SDO_GEOMETRY datatype using XSU utility, it works fine.
But then I trying to insert those data into other table with exactly same structure using OracleXMLSave.insertXML(..) it returns following error:
oracle.xml.sql.OracleXMLSQLException: 'getArrayVal: Internal Error -- '8 != 2'' encountered during processing ROW element 0. All prior XML row changes were rolled back. in the XML document.
int oracle.xml.sql.dml.OracleXMLSave.saveXML(org.w3c.dom.Document, int)
int oracle.xml.sql.dml.OracleXMLSave.saveXML(java.net.URL, int)
int oracle.xml.sql.dml.OracleXMLSave.insertXML(java.net.URL)
void ca.teranet.db.xml.ProcessXML.main(java.lang.String[])
Process exited with exit code 1.
When I comment out sdo_geometry datatype it works fine.

I appreciate any comments.

Answer:
The code works fine on 9iR2 Database. Would you please specify the XSU version, Database Version and JDBC libs Version?

Answer 1

I've tried to investigate more.
I've created folloving DB object in SCOTT schema
create type emp_col as array(100) of varchar2(10);
create type o_emp as object (
empname varchar2(10),
empaddres varchar2(10),
empcol emp_col);
create table obj_emp (
id number,
info o_emp);
and I've used same java code to insert attached XML file into obj_emp table:
<?xml version = '1.0'?>
<ROWSET>
<ROW num="1">
<ID>1</ID>
<INFO>
<EMPNAME>bbbb</EMPNAME>
<EMPADDRES NULL="TRUE"/>
<EMPCOL>
<EMPCOL_ITEM>111</EMPCOL_ITEM>
<EMPCOL_ITEM>222</EMPCOL_ITEM>
</EMPCOL>
</INFO>
</ROW>
</ROWSET>
And I found inconsistent behaviour:
if type emp_col is defined as array of varchar2 it is OK
if I've changed emp_col type to array of number - it returned same ugly error:
oracle.xml.sql.OracleXMLSQLException: 'getArrayVal: Internal Error -- '8 != 2'' encountered during processing ROW element 0. All prior XML row changes were rolled back. in the XML document.
     at oracle.xml.sql.dml.OracleXMLSave.saveXML(OracleXMLSave.java:2298)
     at oracle.xml.sql.dml.OracleXMLSave.saveXML(OracleXMLSave.java:2175)
     at oracle.xml.sql.dml.OracleXMLSave.insertXML(OracleXMLSave.java:1264)
     at ca.teranet.db.xml.ProcessXML2.main(ProcessXML2.java:20)
Note. Spatial type SDO_GEOMETRY is contains SDO_ELEM_INFO type that is array of number.
Could you someone explain this?
Thanks
George.
