Generating Webservices from PL/SQL Problem

Question

Hello,
when I try to automatically generate a webservice from my pl/sql package, I cannot choose a specific procedure.
The "why not" button tells me, that there is no xml schema mapping or serializer available.
my question:
The pl/sql procedures output parameter are tables, like:
Spec:
TYPE my_type IS TABLE OF t_my_table.id%TYPE
INDEX BY NATURAL;
Body:
procedure .... (
out_param OUT my_type;
Is it generally possible to autogenerate this kind of output parameter as webservice or have I missed something ?
Do I have to use java instead ?
Thank you for your help,
Frank

Hi,
Within the package dbms_xmlquery there is a procedure called setDateFormat which you can use to set a format mask.
But the format mask must be one recognised by the java.text.SimpleDateFormat class. an example would be.
dbms_xmlquery.setDateFormat(lc_xmlgen_contex, 'dd.MM. yyyy');
Hope this helps
