Java Stored Procedure in EXECUTE IMMEDIATE

Question

Hi,
I need advice for the following.
I'm on Oracle 11g R2. I'm testing application in Oracle 11gR1 and R2 and Oracle Express.
Purpose is to generate XML reports.
I have PLSQL Stored Procedure which does that, but since there is bug in Oracle11gR2 related to XMLTRANSFORM I have and Java Stored Procedure which is workaround. They are both compiled, valid etc.
Java class is :
import java.io.PrintWriter;
import java.io.Writer;
import oracle.xml.parser.v2.DOMParser;
import oracle.xml.parser.v2.XMLDocument;
import oracle.xml.parser.v2.XSLProcessor;
import oracle.xml.parser.v2.XSLStylesheet;
* This class is used as Java stored procedure
* There is a bug on Oracle11gR2, related to the limitation on the number of style sheet instructions
* This stored procedure is workaround when PLSQL code can not be used.
* File must not have package, otherwise is wrongly compiled in DB
public class JavaXslt {
     public static void XMLTtransform(oracle.sql.CLOB xmlInput,oracle.sql.CLOB xslInput,oracle.sql.CLOB output) throws Exception{
          DOMParser parser;
          XMLDocument xml;
          XMLDocument xsldoc;
          try{
               parser = new DOMParser();
               parser.parse(xmlInput.getCharacterStream());
               xml = parser.getDocument();
               parser.parse(xslInput.getCharacterStream());
               xsldoc = parser.getDocument();
               XSLProcessor processor = new XSLProcessor();
               XSLStylesheet xsl = processor.newXSLStylesheet(xsldoc);
               Writer w = output.setCharacterStream(1L);
               PrintWriter pw = new PrintWriter(w);
               processor.processXSL(xsl, xml, pw);
          }catch (Exception ex){
               throw ex;
PROCEDURE Java_XmlTransform (xml CLOB, xslt CLOB, output CLOB) AS LANGUAGE JAVA
NAME 'JavaXslt.XMLTtransform(oracle.sql.CLOB, oracle.sql.CLOB, oracle.sql.CLOB)';
I'm calling Java stored procedure from PLSQL Stored procedure (if it is Oracle11gR2) like that :
Java_Proc.Java_XmlTransform(inputXML, xslt, res);
So till here everything works ok. XSLT as applied and output XML (res) is OK.
But when Oracle Express is used Java is out of the question, so there is no Java stored procedure. Howewer PLSQL Stored procedure is still needed.
So I had to put call to Java Stored procedure in EXECUTE IMMEDIATE statement in order to compile to PLSQL package.
But when I do that :
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'BEGIN Java_Proc.Java_XmlTransform (:1, :2, :3); END;' USING inputXML, xslt, res;
result value CLOB (res) has zero length...
What am I missing? Should i set return value to Java class?
Hope my explanations are clear though.
Thanks

Hi odie_63,
Thanks for quick response.
I didn't clearly explained.
When using Oracle 11gR1 and Oracle Express I'm using only PLSQL Procedure.
When using Oracle 11gR2 i have to use Java Stored procedure because there is documented bug in R2.
That's why i have to use EXECUTE IMMEDIATE. I don't know which version is the client DB and whether there is or no Java procedures.
I did tried
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'BEGIN Java_Proc.Java_XmlTransform (:1, :2, :3); END;' USING IN inputXML, IN xslt, OUT res; and the result was ORA-06537: OUT bind variable bound to an IN position
When using IN OUT for last parameter i.e.
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'BEGIN Java_Proc.Java_XmlTransform (:1, :2, :3); END;' USING IN inputXML, IN xslt, IN OUT res;
there is no exception, but still DBMS_LOB.getlength(res) = 0
Thanks
