Loading data into XMLType column using dbms_xmlsave.insertxml get ORA-29532

Question

The following simple test case succeeded in 9.2.0.1 but failed in 9.2.0.2.
CREATE OR REPLACE procedure InsertXML(xmlDoc IN VARCHAR2, tableName IN VARCHAR2) is
insCtx DBMS_XMLSave.ctxType;
rows number;
begin
insCtx := DBMS_XMLSave.newContext(tableName); -- get the context handle
rows := DBMS_XMLSave.insertXML(insCtx,xmlDoc); -- this inserts the document
dbms_output.put_line(to_char(rows) || ' rows inserted');
DBMS_XMLSave.closeContext(insCtx); -- this closes the handle
end;
CREATE TABLE XMLtable
(column1 xmltype)
exec insertxml('<?xml version = "1.0"?><ROWSET><ROW><COLUMN1><TEST>HELLO</TEST></COLUMN1></ROW></ROWSET>', 'XMLTABLE');

Hi,
For your XML file I think you just need to enclose XML elemnts in ROWSET AND ROW TAGS - so xml should look like :
<ROWSET>
<ROW>
<DEPT>
</DEPT>
and just pass it as CLOB to dbms_xmlsave.insertXML proc.
I hope it should work.
I am also trying to insert XML file but with a bit complex structure having multiple nested elements.
I am not sure how to transform the external XML file to wrap it in ROWSET/ROW using XSLT. It's mandatory to use ROWSET/ROW tags to be able to insert in oracle tables. I am facing this problem right now. I am using object views to accomplish the purpose but still needs to figure out the way to apply stylesheet to incoming XML file.
If you come to know of any way, pls do let me know also.
Thanks
