ORABPEL-11811 on creation of DB adapter returning record

Question

Hi,
I have been getting some really frustrating results from using the database adapter with some PL/SQL function calls which have input or output %ROWTYPE paramerters.
On creation of the DB adapter, I get notification that a wrapper package is to be created. I confirm this, deploy the process and everything runs fine.
The next day, I start the dev server, only to find the same process generate the following error:
<bindingFault xmlns="http://schemas.oracle.com/bpel/extension"><part name="code"><code>4063</code>

Check to ensure that the API is defined in the database and that the parameters match the signature of the API. Contact oracle support if error is not fixable.

It looks like the wrapper package is erring somehow, although I have no idea what could be causing it. Could it be something to do with the %ROWTYPE parameters? No DDL has been changed between yesterday (working) and today (not working).
Im running JDev / SOA Suite 10.1.3.3

Ok, Im replying to myself now... clearly loosing the plot!
I have noticed that the BPEL_GETPERSHISTDAT2.sql file (which is added when the DB adapter is created) looks like this:
-- Declare the SQL type for the PL/SQL type ROWTYPE_PL0
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE ROWTYPE_SQL2 AS OBJECT (
ASSESS_FORM_ID NUMBER,
ASSESS_ID NUMBER,
PERS_HIST_DETS VARCHAR2(4000),
FORM_OWNER NUMBER,
ASSESS_UPDATED DATE,
ASSESS_ADDED DATE
show errors
-- Declare package containing conversion functions between SQL and PL/SQL types
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BPEL_GETPERSHISTDAT2 AS
     -- Redefine a PL/SQL RECORD type originally defined via CURSOR%ROWTYPE
     TYPE ROWTYPE_PL0 IS RECORD (
          ASSESS_FORM_ID NUMBER,
          ASSESS_ID NUMBER,
          PERS_HIST_DETS VARCHAR2(4000),
          FORM_OWNER NUMBER,
          ASSESS_UPDATED DATE,
          ASSESS_ADDED DATE);
     -- Declare the conversion functions the PL/SQL type ROWTYPE_PL0
     FUNCTION PL_TO_SQL5(aPlsqlItem ROWTYPE_PL0)
     RETURN ROWTYPE_SQL2;
     FUNCTION SQL_TO_PL5(aSqlItem ROWTYPE_SQL2)
     RETURN ROWTYPE_PL0;
FUNCTION TOPLEVEL$NHSSOA_GET_PERS_HIST (P_ASSESS_FORM_ID NUMBER) RETURN ROWTYPE_SQL2;
END BPEL_GETPERSHISTDAT2;
show errors
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY BPEL_GETPERSHISTDAT2 IS
     FUNCTION PL_TO_SQL5(aPlsqlItem ROWTYPE_PL0)
     RETURN ROWTYPE_SQL2 IS
     aSqlItem ROWTYPE_SQL2;
     BEGIN
          -- initialize the object
          aSqlItem := ROWTYPE_SQL2(NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL);
          aSqlItem.ASSESS_FORM_ID := aPlsqlItem.ASSESS_FORM_ID;
          aSqlItem.ASSESS_ID := aPlsqlItem.ASSESS_ID;
          aSqlItem.PERS_HIST_DETS := aPlsqlItem.PERS_HIST_DETS;
          aSqlItem.FORM_OWNER := aPlsqlItem.FORM_OWNER;
          aSqlItem.ASSESS_UPDATED := aPlsqlItem.ASSESS_UPDATED;
          aSqlItem.ASSESS_ADDED := aPlsqlItem.ASSESS_ADDED;
          RETURN aSqlItem;
     END PL_TO_SQL5;
     FUNCTION SQL_TO_PL5(aSqlItem ROWTYPE_SQL2)
     RETURN ROWTYPE_PL0 IS
     aPlsqlItem ROWTYPE_PL0;
     BEGIN
          aPlsqlItem.ASSESS_FORM_ID := aSqlItem.ASSESS_FORM_ID;
          aPlsqlItem.ASSESS_ID := aSqlItem.ASSESS_ID;
          aPlsqlItem.PERS_HIST_DETS := aSqlItem.PERS_HIST_DETS;
          aPlsqlItem.FORM_OWNER := aSqlItem.FORM_OWNER;
          aPlsqlItem.ASSESS_UPDATED := aSqlItem.ASSESS_UPDATED;
          aPlsqlItem.ASSESS_ADDED := aSqlItem.ASSESS_ADDED;
          RETURN aPlsqlItem;
     END SQL_TO_PL5;
FUNCTION TOPLEVEL$NHSSOA_GET_PERS_HIST (P_ASSESS_FORM_ID NUMBER) RETURN ROWTYPE_SQL2 IS
RETURN_ ROWTYPE_SQL2;
BEGIN
RETURN_ := BPEL_GETPERSHISTDAT2.PL_TO_SQL5(NHSSOA_GET_PERS_HIST(P_ASSESS_FORM_ID));
return RETURN_;
END TOPLEVEL$NHSSOA_GET_PERS_HIST;
END BPEL_GETPERSHISTDAT2;
show errors
exit
The procedure that I am running from the DB adapter looks like this (I initially had this in a package, but simplified it into a stand-alone function):
create or replace FUNCTION NHSSOA_GET_PERS_HIST (p_assess_form_id NUMBER) RETURN nhssoa_a_types.pers_hist AS
CURSOR c_get_assess_dets IS
SELECT *
FROM nhscont_ass_pers_hist
WHERE assess_form_id = p_assess_form_id;
r_c_get_assess_dets c_get_assess_dets%ROWTYPE;
BEGIN
OPEN c_get_assess_dets;
FETCH c_get_assess_dets INTO r_c_get_assess_dets;
CLOSE c_get_assess_dets;
RETURN r_c_get_assess_dets;
END NHSSOA_GET_PERS_HIST;
The nhssoa_a_types.pers_hist type looks like this
TYPE pers_hist IS RECORD (
ASSESS_FORM_ID     NUMBER,
ASSESS_ID     NUMBER,
PERS_HIST_DETS     VARCHAR2(4000 BYTE),
FORM_OWNER     NUMBER,
ASSESS_UPDATED     DATE,
ASSESS_ADDED     DATE
I should add that the NHSSOA_GET_PERS_HIST function has been tested outside BPEL and works OK.
