Download_my_file example from HTMLDB 2 day developer Guide

Question

Hi -
I'm using htmldb/APEX v 1.6. I'm following the Oracle HTMLDB 2 Day Developer Guide chapter 8. In this example, we are uploading files to be stored in the database as BLOB's. Then we are downloading the files.
The example works as advertised until we create the custom table and procedure called download_my_file.
Using the default table and procedure, the file upload and download work correctly.
Using the procedure called download_my_file fails with error:
[Thu Feb  4 13:11:18 2010] [error] [client 100.100.100.11] [ecid: 1265307078:100.100.100.202:18991:0:163,0] mod_plsql: /pls/htmldb/HTMLDB.DOWNLOAD_MY_FILES HTTP-404 \nHTMLDB.DOWNLOAD_MY_FILES: PROCEDURE DOESN'T EXIST\n
Here is my version of procedure download_my_file:
(p_file in number) AS
v_mime VARCHAR2(48);
v_length NUMBER;
v_file_name VARCHAR2(2000);
Lob_loc BLOB;
BEGIN
SELECT MIME_TYPE, BLOB_CONTENT, name,DBMS_LOB.GETLENGTH(blob_content)
INTO v_mime,lob_loc,v_file_name,v_length
FROM file_subjects_1
WHERE id = p_file;
-- set up HTTP header
-- use an NVL around the mime type and
-- if it is a null set it to application/octect
-- application/octect may launch a download window from windows
owa_util.mime_header( nvl(v_mime,'application/octet'),FALSE );
-- set the size so the browser knows how much to download
htp.p('Content-length: ' || v_length);
-- the filename will be used by the browser if the users does a save as
htp.p('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="'||substr(v_file_name,instr(v_file_name,'/')+1)|| '"');
-- close the headers
owa_util.http_header_close;
-- download the BLOB
wpg_docload.download_file( Lob_loc );
end download_my_file;

Execute privileges on procedure download_my_file have been granted to Public and HTMLDB_PUBLIC_USER. Procedure is owned by user HTMLDB

Please.. Could you change your forum handle to something more human, we are a friendly group here and lik to know who we are talking to.. Secondly, WHy are you using such an OLD version oft he product. You would be better off installing 3.2.1 (latest released build) and asking your questions after you do that..
(I am sorry, it's like asking for help in a Windows support forum about issues you are having with Windows 3.1)
Thank you,
