Error in xml parse procedure :

Question

hi,
I am trying to read an xml file and insert data into a database table.
When I compile the code I get the following warnings :
PL/SQL: Item ignored
PLS-00201: identifier 'XMLPARSER.PARSER' must be declared
PL/SQL: Item ignored
PLS-00201: identifier 'XMLDOM.DOMDOCUMENT' must be declared
PL/SQL: Item ignored
PLS-00201: identifier 'DBMS_XMLDOM.DOMELEMENT' must be declar
PL/SQL: Item ignored
PLS-00201: identifier 'XMLDOM.DOMDOCUMENT' must be declared
PL/SQL: Statement ignored
I have a local 10g se data base installed on my system.
The code I am using is mentioned below.
I checked the database and the package xmlparser does not exist. Can someone please help me on this..

Hi,
i found the problem :-)
I used the function apex_web_service.parse_xml to parse the SOAP response. The return datatype of this function is VARCHAR2. Therefore i get the error when the return value overflows.
Now i use the function apex_web_service.parse_xml_clob and it works fine.
