ORA-30625 sys.xmltype

every time when I run function GET_PURCHASEORDER_VALUE Oracle rises error ora-30625 in line*. I work in Oracle release 9.0.1.3.0. what shuld I do? help me. please.
create or replace function GET_PURCHASEORDER_VALUE(PURCHASEORDER in sys.XMLTYPE)
return number is
LINEITEMS sys.XMLTYPE;
LINEITEM sys.XMLTYPE;
COST number;
QUANTITY number;
TOTAL number := 0;
I binary_integer := 1;
begin
LINEITEMS := PURCHASEORDER.extract('//LineItem'); *
loop
LINEITEM := LINEITEMS.extract('/LineItem['||I||']');
exit when LINEITEM is null;
COST := LINEITEM.extract('/LineItem/Part/@UnitPrice').getNumberVal();
QUANTITY := LINEITEM.extract('/LineItem/Part/@Quantity').getNumberVal();
TOTAL := TOTAL + (COST * QUANTITY );
I := I + 1;
end loop;
return TOTAL;
end GET_PURCHASEORDER_VALUE;
ORA-30625 method dispatch on NULL SELF argument is disallowed

9.1.0.3 has limited XPATH support. Can you upgrade to 9.2.0.2?
Can you try extractValue instead of extract?

ORA-21700 error using sys.xmlType in Oracle 9.2

I'm working on an application which uses the XMLType column in some of its database tables. When we started, we were using Oracle 9.0.1, and this test code works (which emulates how we have to, in some occasions, populate the XMLType column).
However, we installed Oracle 9.2.0.3 on the same machine and created database instances using this version of Oracle. We didn't upgrade the original 9.0.1 installation (which still exists side-by-side). When we run this code, we get the following exception...
java.sql.SQLException: ORA-21700: object does not exist or is marked for delete

This exception occurs after we've written the data to a Clob and are attempting to call createXML to update the column.
Is there anything additional I need to do to get this working in Oracle 9.2 again? Thanks.

I've found this....
http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/appdev.920/a96620/xdb05obj.htm#1032058
Does this mean that, for a table to use an XMLType column, it has to have a single schema definition for every row in the table?
This won't fit for what we're doing.... that is, our table stores XML data for each row, but they are all different types of XML... they don't have the same structure,they don't use the same schema.
Please let me know if I'm missing something

Ora-30625/xmltype

Hi!
I got this error; ORA-30625: method dispatch on NULL SELF argument is disallowed,
when I tried to do next:
declare
xml_lukio xmltype;
s1_k1 varchar2(60);
select v.lukio_doc into xml_lukio
from vp_lukiopohja v
where koulutus=1;
s1_k1:=xml_lukio.extract('/valintapisteytys/arvosanat/sarake1/kentta1/text()').getstringval();
And this is what lukio_doc includes:
<valintapisteytys xmlns="http://vp_skeemat/vp_skeema.xsd"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://vp_skeemat/vp_skeema.xsd
http://vp_skeemat/vp_skeema.xsd">
<arvosanat>
<sarake1>
<kentta1>Yo-todistus</kentta1>
<kentta2>Lukion pÃ¤Ã¤ttÃ¶todistus</kentta2>
<kentta3>Lukion pÃ¤Ã¤ttÃ¶todistuksen keskiarvo</kentta3>
</sarake1>
</arvosanat>
</valintapisteytys>
This worked earlier, when it did not include xml schema.
So what's wrong?

s1_k1:=xml_lukio.extract('/valintapisteytys/arvosanat/sarake1/kentta1/text()').getstringval();
1. extract returns an XMLType. You are then invoking getStringVal on the XMLType returned by extract. If extract returns null you will get the error you are reported.
2. Your Schema uses a lot of namespaces.
<valintapisteytys xmlns="http://vp_skeemat/vp_skeema.xsd"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://vp_skeemat/vp_skeema.xsd
http://vp_skeemat/vp_skeema.xsd">
You need to pass these namespaces as a third argument to extract...
s1_k1:=xml_lukio.extract
('/valintapisteytys/arvosanat/sarake1/kentta1/text()',xmlns="http://vp_skeemat/vp_skeema.xsd"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://vp_skeemat/vp_skeema.xsd
http://vp_skeemat/vp_skeema.xsd"').getstringval();

Importing XML data into sys.XMLType - encoding problem

Hi,
I'm using "modplsql Gateway" to upload XML file with encoding "windows-1250" with some regional characters in database table.
The table definition:
CREATE TABLE NAHRAJ_DATA (
NAME VARCHAR(128) UNIQUE NOT NULL,
MIME_TYPE VARCHAR(128),
DOC_SIZE NUMBER,
DAD_CHARSET VARCHAR(128),
LAST_UPDATED DATE,
CONTENT_TYPE VARCHAR(128),
CONTENT LONG RAW,
BLOB_CONTENT BLOB
The file was uploaded correct.
My database have
NLS_CHARACTERSET EE8MSWIN1250
NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET AL16UTF16
After upload, I convert data from hex(blob) to dec and with function chr() to char. BLOB -> CLOB.
Next I create sys.XMLType from CLOB. With this progression works all in order.
In other system where are
NLS_CHARACTERSET AL32UTF8
NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET AL16UTF16
BLOB_CONTENT column(table NAHRAJ_DATA) starts with "FF FE FF FE" in HEX before my XML data. Exactly convert is OK, bud if I can create sys.XMLType I get this
ORA-31011: XML parsing failed ORA-19202: Error occurred in XML processing
LPX-00200: could not convert from encoding UTF-8 to UCS2 Error at line 1
ORA-06512: at "SYS.XMLTYPE", line 0
ORA-06512: at line 1
I haven't any idea what's wrong.
Whats mean the HEX code in BLOB_CONTENT column after upload?
Thangs
Lukas

Does the following return the error when setting l_data or making the call to your procedure?
declare

Web Service help - ORA-30625: method dispatch on NULL SELF errors

Hi All
I could do with some assistance getting Web service's up & running on my application
I've been following this guide but altering to fit in with our internal web services... the Internet police here at work have youtube blocked off so unable to test end to end using the OTN tutorial
I've created a web service named PASSWORDGEN with the results stored in the collection PASSWORDRESULT
On my page I've created the process that invokes the webservice PASSWORDGEN which is set to run on load - before header - seq #10
then created the pl/sql anonymous block process which is set to run on load - before header - seq #20
I've used the pl/sql example given in the tutorial but substituted their references to collections with my named collection .
declare
l_clob clob;
l_xml xmltype;
l_val clob;
begin
for c1 in (select clob001
from apex_collections
where collection_name = 'PASSWORDRESULT'
) loop
l_clob := c1.clob001;
exit;
end loop;
l_xml := xmltype.createxml(l_clob);
l_val := dbms_xmlgen.convert(l_xml.extract('/methodResponse/params/param/value/string/text()').getclobval(),1);
apex_collection.update_member_attribute(
p_collection_name => 'PASSWORDRESULT',
p_seq => '1',
p_clob_number => '1',
p_clob_value => l_val );
end;
if I try to run the page at this point I get the error ORA-30625: method dispatch on NULL SELF argument is disallowed
what I think is happening, from what I've read up on, is that the collection is empty?
so I'm trying to find out if the web service is not populating the collection correctly or have I made a mistake in the above syntax & trying to reference the collection incorrectly.
Is there a way I can query the collection using TOAD?
Edited by: Mr JD on 21-Jul-2010 08:38

ok so found the collection but when I invoke the web service the collection record is not populated. I've tested the webservice & a result is returned but for some reason when I either run the test or run the page which invokes the web service as a page render process the collection is still not populated.....
what I'm I missing here as the setup of the web service is pretty straight forward & testing the web service does produce a result within the test window

Actually the limit is approx 32K bytes for a SQL*PLUS literal...
If your XML is schema based 9iR2 allows you to upload the XML direct to the database and store in tables you define using FTP or WebDAV.
If the content is not schema based and you can ftp the file to the local file system of the machine running the server you can do something like this using the bfile mechanism.
Note this is a 9iR2 example, that takes care of converting the character set of the file into the character set of the database...

You can either :
1- enclose the INSERT statement in an anonymous PL/SQL block and use XMLType variables to pass XML content to the INSERT. You'll be able to use string literal up to 32767 bytes, it should be sufficient for this case.
2- split the XML string into multiple CLOB chunks of max. 4000 bytes, e.g.
xmltype(
to_clob('<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-15"?>

3- use external files :
xmltype(bfilename('XML_DIR', 'FTB_STRUCTUREBODY.xml'), nls_charset_id('WE8ISO8859P15'))
Option #3 would be my choice most of the time to insert large XML content.

ORA-30625: method dispatch on NULL SELF error

Can Someone help me? I'm new to oracle. I'm writing a procedure to copy a file from my hard drive to oracle. I am getting an error: ORA-30625: method dispatch on NULL SELF argument is disallowed. So I just broke the code down to this little piece. I still get the same error. I created a directory called INPUT_FILE and the file test.jpg is in that directory. What am I missing?
1 Declare
2 imag ordsys.ordimage;
3 ctx raw(4000) :=null;
4 BEGIN
5 imag.setsource('FILE' , 'INPUT_FILE', 'test.jpg');
6 imag.import(ctx);
7* end;

There is a sample code for importing an image from an external file into the database in the section 2.2.8 of the interMedia User's Guide:
http://otn.oracle.com/doc/oracle8i_816/inter.816/a67299/mm_uses.htm#601053
Basically, you have to have a table in which you store the image in the database first.

Conversion/Type Cast of sys.XMLType to NUMBER and VARCHAR2

How do we typecast or convert a variable of the type sys.XMLType to NUMBER and VARCHAR2?
For e.g. I have a variable :-
v_STATE sys.XMLType
I want to convert it to either of the type NUMBER or VARCHAR2.

How do we typecast or convert a variable of the type sys.XMLType to NUMBER and VARCHAR2?
Your question is too vague to give a relevant answer.
Typecasting doesn't make sense in this situation, XMLType is an opaque datatype, it's not like converting VARCHAR2 to NUMBER (or vice versa).
Do you mean serializing the XML document, or extracting atomic node values, or something else ?
Depending on your requirement, you may want to look for XMLSerialize() or XMLCast() functions.
And on a side note, don't always expect people to search for your previous threads to find some useful information, such as a db version...

ORA-30625

Hi,
I have created custom insert button in my form and i have written following code on CUSTOM PL/SQL EVENT handler
onINSERT(
p_block_name => p_block_name ,
p_object_name => p_object_name,
p_instance => p_instance ,
p_event_type => p_event_type ,
p_user_args => p_user_args ,
p_session => p_session);
onSuccess(
p_block_name => p_block_name ,
p_object_name => p_object_name,
p_instance => p_instance ,
p_event_type => p_event_type ,
p_user_args => p_user_args ,
p_session => p_session);
When i click on Insert button, i am able to save the record but also i get following error.
ERROR:
ORA-30625: method dispatch on NULL SELF argument is disallowed.
ORA-06512: at "PORTAL30.WWA_AAP_MODULE"
Has anyone comeacross this problem?
Thank you

I'm getting nearly the same errors running
on portal 3.0.9.
When trying to direct a successful form submission to calling page using
call('','p_back_url');
I get this in apache error log...
ORA-30625: method dispatch on NULL SELF argument is disallowed
ORA-06512: at "PORTALCR.WWA_APP_MODULE", line 42
ORA-06512: at "PORTALCR.WWA_APP_MODULE", line 820
ORA-06501: PL/SQL: program error
ORA-06512: at line 8
This worked in 3.0.6.
The inserts and deletes work fine, I'm just not getting back to the calling page.
Cheers,

ORA-30625 sys.xmltype
