JPublisher problem - SQLJ Team please respond

Question

I'm trying to use JPublisher to generate code for a PL/SQL package that contains functions with a REF CURSOR type return value. The REF CURSOR is declared in the package spec as a TYPE, NOT strongly typed.
(defined as:
TYPE qry_results IS REF CURSOR;
For some reason, JPublisher will generated classes for my object types used in the package, but it will not generated the java class for the package itself.
If I change the type of these functions, they generate.
The only mention of REF CURSORs I see in the JPub docs is no support for STRONGLY TYPED ones. Mine aren't, yet they don't get generated.
Is this supposed to work?? Or does JPub have NO support for REF CURSOR return values in a packaged function?
Thanks

Answer 1

I retried this using the command line, as well as JDeveloper 3.1.1.2. It does not work.
Here are the specs:
Windows 2000
JDK 1.2.2
Oracle 8.1.6
JDBC & SQLJ 8.1.6 (comes with Oracle 8.1.6)
The package looks like this:
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE qry IS
TYPE qry_results IS REF CURSOR;
FUNCTION get_all_appliances RETURN qry_results;
END qry;
Body looks like this:
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY qry IS
FUNCTION get_all_appliances RETURN qry_results IS
results qry_results;
BEGIN
OPEN results FOR
SELECT app_id, usr_app_name
FROM appliances
ORDER BY usr_app_name;
RETURN results;
END get_all_appliances;
END qry;
JPublisher does its thing, but it DOES NOT produce any output. It doesn't give any errors or anything, but it doesn't give any output files either.
I figure it must not be able to construct a SQL/J iterator? I don't know what's going on.
Please let me know if this is supposed to work or not? Is there anything in my code that should be changed to get it to work? Do I need to strongly type the REF CURSOR? The Jpub docs say it doesn't support strongly typed REF CURSORs.
Please advise, thanks in advance! Also please define whether this is unsupported or a bug.
