How to execute a procedure or function from Java Stored procedure

Question

Hi,
I am new to Java Stored Procedures. I am working on Oracle 8i and JVM 1.3.1. I want to call a PL/SQL procedure from within Java. I have tried looking at severa; cources but they are quite high level for me. Can someone provide a simple example including the Source Code for .java file and also the calling function's code?
Heres a sample of what I have been working on: I an including Java code, and Function code and how I call the function. Instead of doing "select sysdate from dual" I want to do like "create table temp1(var1 varchar2(10))" or similar... like "exec procname(var1)" etc.
Thanks in advance.
PS. The variable passed in function is just a dummy variable.

Answer 1

what your after is
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection
("jdbc:oracle:oci:@<hoststring>", "scott", "tiger");
CallableStatement cs = conn.prepareCall ("begin ? := foo(?); end;");
cs.registerOutParameter(1,Types.CHAR);
cs.setString(2, "aa");
cs.executeUpdate();
String result = cs.getString(1);
