Problem with SP with table parameters

Question

Hello, I have problem with stored procedure with paramater which is table type.
I have defined my own type
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE STRING_LST AS TABLE OF VARCHAR2(80);
and i have stored procedure like this
  PROCEDURE probe(outList OUT STRING_LST) IS   BEGIN     outList := STRING_LST();     outList.EXTEND();     outList(outList.LAST) := 'ONE';     outList.EXTEND();     outList(outList.LAST) := 'TWO';     outList.EXTEND();     outList(outList.LAST) := 'THREE';   END probe;
I have java class which connects to the database and calls this procedure
package mypackage; import java.sql.CallableStatement; import java.sql.Connection; import java.sql.DriverManager; import java.sql.SQLException; import java.sql.Types; import java.sql.Array; public class DAO_Test { public static String toNormalString (String aa) { if (aa != null && aa.startsWith("0x")) { StringBuffer str = new StringBuffer(64); for (int i = 2; i < aa.length(); i += 2) { str.append((char) Integer.parseInt(aa.substring(i, i + 2), 16)); } return str.toString(); } else { return aa; } } public void probe ( ) { try { DriverManager.registerDriver(new oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver()); Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection("dbc:oracle:thin:@server_ip:database_name", "sa", "blahblah"); String sql = "{ CALL PROBE(?) }"; String sqlType = "STRING_LST"; CallableStatement cs = conn.prepareCall(sql); cs.registerOutParameter(1, Types.ARRAY, sqlType); cs.execute(); Array arr = cs.getArray(1); String[] values = (String[]) arr.getArray(); for (int i = 0; i < values.length; i++) { System.out.println("" + i + ": '" + toNormalString(values) + "'");
cs.close();
conn.close();
} catch (SQLException e) {
logger.error("SQLException", e);
} catch (Exception e) {
logger.error("Exception", e);
public static void main (String args[]) throws SQLException {
DAO_Test test = new DAO_Test();
test.probe();
Now...
When I run this class on my local machine the result is OK nad looks like
1: 'ONE'
2: 'TWO'
3: 'THREE'
But when I copy this class on the server and run it, the result is wrong
1: '???'
2: '???'
3: '???'
Here is my environment:
on local machine
eclipse 3.3.1
java 1.5 (java version compiler in eclipse is 1.4)
on server
oracle 9.2.0.6.0
java 1.4.2_08
Result from table parameters are always 3 question marks :|
What is the problem?

HI,
I think i found the solution: nls_charset12.jar from page
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/tech/java/sqlj_jdbc/htdocs/jdbc9201.html
I have copied this jar to server lib directory and it works fine :)
