Can I load Java classes generated by the Web Service Proxy Wizard?

Question

Hi gurus,
I am very new to Oracle JDeveloper and I have mainly used it to create and debug PL/SQL procedures. My client app is written in PowerBuilder 11 (Sybase), which claims that it will create a datawindow from a web service. Well, it turned out that PB can only handle simple stuff (it works with a very simple wsdl from the internet) but can't handle more complex ones that we need to use. So I am thinking about using JDev to create the web service proxy for the web service and then load it into Oracle as a Java stored procedure so that PowerBuilder can call the procedure. JDev succsfully generated the proxy and a few Java classes. My question is, do I need to load all the classes into the database? If yes, will the reference to the package work? For example, in a JDev generated class (the soap client class), it has package MyJdev.proxy; at the top. Or, will it work if I load all the classes included in package /MyJdev/proxy into the database?
Thank you very much for any help.

Thanks again, Bruce.
What I meant by SOAPElement is that one genereated Java class has this and this class also has the setter for this like this,
public void setSelection(javax.xml.soap.SOAPElement selection) {
this.selection = selection;
And here is the whole class,
public class CaseSearchByPartyRequest implements java.io.Serializable {
protected java.lang.String schemaVersion;
protected java.util.Calendar messageProducedDateTime;
protected javax.xml.soap.SOAPElement selection;
protected Restriction restriction;
public CaseSearchByPartyRequest() {
public java.lang.String getSchemaVersion() {
return schemaVersion;
public void setSchemaVersion(java.lang.String schemaVersion) {
this.schemaVersion = schemaVersion;
public java.util.Calendar getMessageProducedDateTime() {
return messageProducedDateTime;
public void setMessageProducedDateTime(java.util.Calendar messageProducedDateTime) {
this.messageProducedDateTime = messageProducedDateTime;
public javax.xml.soap.SOAPElement getSelection() {
return selection;
public void setSelection(javax.xml.soap.SOAPElement selection) {
this.selection = selection;
public Restriction getRestriction() {
return restriction;
public void setRestriction(Restriction restriction) {
this.restriction = restriction;
this.selection is the request that I think I need. And here is the static main method of the soap client class genereated.
public static void main(String[] args) {
try {
MyJdev.proxy.SoapClient myPort = new MyJdev.proxy.SoapClient();
System.out.println("calling " + myPort.getEndpoint());
// Add your own code here
} catch (Exception ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
So, if I need to send the request to the web service, do I need to create the request, correct? I have done it through AQ and Messaging Gateway and works fine by manually creating the request xml in PL/SQL, but now I need to get it to work sychronously from the UI. I believe that I need the request (SOAPElement) because that is the only way that I can supply the parameters. I have not see any setters for the parameters other than some setters for user name and password.
Did I get something wrong here? If I don't supply the "selection", will JDev do it?
Thanks.
