Load xml document from CLOB

Question

I'm try to load xml document from CLOB in following way:
--- procedure loadXML.sql -----
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE loadXML
IS
CONTENT CLOB := ' ';
SOURCE bfile := BFILENAME('XMLFILES', 'N_95_A.xml');
begin
DBMS_LOB.OPEN(SOURCE, DBMS_LOB.LOB_READONLY);
DBMS_LOB.loadFromFile(CONTENT, SOURCE, DBMS_LOB.getLength(SOURCE));
DBMS_LOB.fileClose(SOURCE);
insert into OFERTY (OFDOCUMENT)
values (sys.XMLtype.createXML(CONTENT));
commit;
end;
and I get
SQL> @e:\myxml\loadXML
declare
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-31011: XML parsing failed
ORA-19202: Error occurred in XML processing
LPX-00210: expected '<' instead of '<'
ORA-06512: at "SYS.XMLTYPE", line 0
ORA-06512: at line 1
ORA-06512: at line 8
What is wrong?

Answer 1

Have you tried simply outputting iusing the htp.p function? for example:
/* ... inside a PL/SQL region */
declare
   lclb_output clob;
begin
   select doc_xml into lclb_output from mf_xml_docs where doc_id = :P1_DOC_ID;
   htp.p(lclb_output); -- you may have to split this into chunks and loop through, depending on how big the clob is
end;
