Missing IN or OUT parameter problem

Question

I have really weird behaviour in only one call to stored procedure.
Sometimes this problem is stable. Sometimes it starts working after passing
the method once in a debuger. I can change sql to call different stored
procedure and it doesn't affect the behavioir. This is WLS813 and Oracle 9i.
I would appreciate any advice.
The source code is simple and is used in multiple places in the application
(I tried its different variations with the same result):
DataSource ds = EJBContext.getInstance().getDefaultDataSource();
conn = ds.getConnection();
stmt = conn.prepareCall("{ ? = development_pkg.Get_AddUnit_BlockList ( ?,
stmt.registerOutParameter(1, OracleTypes.CURSOR);
stmt.setObject(2, developmentId);
stmt.setObject(3, isCallerInAllSocietyViewRole() ? null :
getCallerUserEntity().getSocietyId());
stmt.setString(4, getCallerName());
stmt.execute(); - this line generates an exception
Exception if isCallerInAllSocietyViewRole() is true (1st call after
restarting the server):

Hi Joe,
Thank you for your reply. I tried multiple different ways: setNull,
setObject. The behavior is the same. The following is the original code
(before I played with it) and it worked fine in WLS812:
DataSource ds = EJBContext.getInstance().getDefaultDataSource();
conn = ds.getConnection();
stmt = conn.prepareCall("{ ? = call development_pkg.Get_AddUnit_BlockList
stmt.registerOutParameter(1, OracleTypes.CURSOR);
stmt.setInt(2, developmentId.intValue());
if (isCallerInAllSocietyViewRole()) {
stmt.setNull(3, OracleTypes.INTEGER);
} else {
stmt.setInt(3, getCallerUserEntity().getSocietyId().intValue());
stmt.setString(4, getCallerName());
stmt.execute();
I created a BEA case but I think that it would be very difficult to
reproduce the problem as the same code works fine for me in all other
cases!!! And despite spending a lot of time I couldn't figure out why it is
failing in this particular case. This is not related to the stored procedure
as I changed the sql and it didn't change anything.
Sincerely,
Mikhail Stolpner

Hi. So are you saying it always fails with a setObject(3, null), or only
after first running it the other way? This sounds like a problem with the
oracle drivers setObject() with null as input. What I would like to see is
if this works:
if ( isCallerInAllSocietyViewRole() )
stmt.setNull(3, Types.VARCHAR );
else
stmt.setObject( 3, getCallerUserEntity().getSocietyId() );
