How to publish a Java Stored proc....

Question

Hi,
I wrote the following Java code and loaded it into Oracle 8i, as Java stored procs.
public class EmployeeStruct
public int EmployeeNum;
public String EmployeeName;
public String Designation;
and
import java.sql.*;
import java.io.*;
import oracle.jdbc.driver.*;
public class InsertData
public static InsertEmployee(EmployeeStruct eps) throws SQLException
Connection conn =
DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:default:connection:");
String sql = "INSERT INTO EMPLOYEE_TABLE VALUES (?, ?, ?)";
try
PreparedStatement pstmt = conn.prepareStatement(sql);
pstmt.setInt(1, eps.EmployeeNum);
pstmt.setString(2, eps.EmployeeName);
pstmt.setString(3, eps.Designation);
pstmt.executeUpdate();
pstmt.close();
catch (SQLException e)
System.out.println(e.getMessage());
My question is how do I publish the InsertData proc. I tried :
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE insert_data (e EMPLOYEESTRUCT) AS LANGUAGE JAVA
NAME 'INSERTDATA(EmployeeStruct)';
but this gives me PLS-00201, identifier EmployeeStruct must be declared.
COULD SOMEONE HELP ME/ SHOW ME HOW ?
I wish to call the java stored proc from an external java program.

You can't pass Java classes to Java Stored Procedures via the PL/SQL wrapper. You'll have to write your wrapper to take the int as a NUMBER and the two Strings separately as VARCHAR2s, e.g.:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE insert_data
EmployeeNum IN NUMBER,
EmployeeName IN VARCHAR2,
Designation IN VARCHAR2
AS LANGUAGE JAVA
NAME 'InsertData.InsertEmployee(int, java.lang.String, java.lang.String)';
