Data corruption when inserting xml to database

Question

Hi,
I have discovered that some data get changed when I try to insert them into the database.
It seems that at a certain point, there is a buffer somewhere that runs full, and then some data get missing, and get replaced by other (so that some data are duplicate, while some are missing).
I get no error messages from the script indicating that anything is wrong.
Anyone who have an idea of where changes need to be made to the script??
thanks in advance,
Reidun
I use the following script:
import oracle.xml.sql.dml.*;
import java.sql.*;
import oracle.jdbc.driver.*;
import oracle.jdbc.*;
import java.net.*;
public class test_java
public static void main(String args[])
if (args.length != 5)
System.out.println("Usage: test_java <xml_directory> <table_name> <username> <passwd> <database>");
System.exit(-1);
String dirName = args[0];          // path to xml file
String tabName = args[1];          // table into which to insert
String fileName = dirName + "/" + tabName + ".xml";     // file name containing the xml doc
System.out.println("Read from " + fileName);
System.out.println("Insert into table " + tabName);
String s_username = args[2];
String s_passwd = args[3];
String s_db = args[4];
String s_connect = "jdbc:oracle:oci8:" + s_username + "/" + s_passwd + "@" + s_db;
System.out.println("Connect: " + s_connect);
try {
DriverManager.registerDriver(new oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver());
Connection conn =
DriverManager.getConnection(s_connect);
OracleXMLSave sav = new OracleXMLSave(conn, tabName);
sav.setDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss");
sav.setIgnoreCase(true);
sav.setRowTag(tabName);
System.out.println("createURL...");
URL url = sav.createURL(fileName);
System.out.println("URL = " + url);
int rowCount = sav.insertXML(url);
sav.close();
System.out.println(" successfully inserted "+rowCount+
          " rows into "+ tabName);
conn.close();
catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println("Error: " + e.toString());
System.out.println("Aborting XML import for " + tabName);

Try setting the batch size to 1 ( ie oracleXMLSave().setBatchSize(1);)
The batch size defaults to 17 and sometimes this might cause similar behavior. It wonder if there is a bug already reported on this.
