How to get return type as Table of Index by BINAR from Procedure using JDBC

Question

Hi,
We have stored procedure which takes Varchar as input and rerurn muiltiple recored of type Table of index by BINARY
We created the procedure with in a package, its header part like below:
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE emp_pkid_pkg
AS
TYPE r_emp IS RECORD ( employe_profile_id NUMBER
, client_profile_id VARCHAR2(240)
, email VARCHAR2(240)
, terms_acp VARCHAR2(1)
TYPE tp_emp_profile IS TABLE OF r_emp INDEX BY BINARY_INTEGER;
PROCEDURE er_employe_prov_profile ( e_inxid employe_provision_instance.inxid%TYPE
, e_emp_recs OUT tp_emp_profile
END emp_pkid_pkg;
This procedure has body part, wich has origial business logic like below.
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY emp_pkid_pkg
AS
PROCEDURE pr_customer_prov_profile ( e_inxid employe_provision_instance.inxid%TYPE
, e_emp_recs OUT tp_customer_provision_profile
IS
CURSOR c_emp_prov_instance ( c_guid employe_provision_instance.guid%TYPE )
etc ...
END emp_pkid_pkg;
We could execute the below script from oracle client tool and get the response.
DECLARE
e_cust emp_pkid_pkg.tp_emp_profile;
BEGIN
emp_pkid_pkg.er_employe_prov_profile ( 'ef45t6543y98'
, e_cust
FOR i in e_cust.FIRST..e_cust.LAST LOOP
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE ( e_cust(i).employe_profile_id
||'#'|| e_cust(i).client_customer_id
||'#'|| e_cust(i).email
||'#'|| e_cust(i).term_acp);
END LOOP;
END;
We have requirement to get the results from procedure usind JDBC callable statement call.
We have tried to call the procedure via JDBC callable statement but it didn't work.
We have constructed it like the following. It was throwing error "java.sql.SQLException: invalid column type: emp_pkid_pkg.tp_emp_profile
CallableStatement cs2 = con.prepareCall("{call emp_pkid_pkg.er_employe_prov_profile(?,?)}");
cs2.registerOutParameter(2, OracleTypes.CURSOR, emp_pkid_pkg.tp_emp_profile);
cs2.setString(1,empId);
Not sure whether I am doing the logic correctly. But i tryed with diff type. Still am getting same error like above.
Please point me to the correct approach.
Thanks

Can't be done - the reason has nothing to do with JDBC so you are in the wrong forum.
Repost in the PL/SQL forum and I can give you an example of what you have to do
PL/SQL
First the TYPEs you defined are PL/SQL types so can't be referenced outside PL/SQL; you need to define SQL types.
Second you will need to use a procedure that returns a REF CURSOR or is a PIPELINED procedure. Since your procedure doesn't fall into either category you can't use it with JDBC to do what you want.
If your query was a PIPELINED function then you could simply query it like it was a table. I have a PIPELINED function name 'get_emp' so this works.
select * from table(get_emp(30));Post in the PL/SQL forum and I can give you the code for the procedure. I'm not going to clutter up this forum with inappropriate material.
