Problems getting a resultset out of a stored procedure

Question

We're having a problem getting a resultset out of a stored procedure with JDBC. The third parameter for the procedure is an out REF CURSOR. Connection to the database is fine, we just keep getting the following error when we do the GetCursor(3) statement:
ORA-00942: table or view does not exist
We know for definate that something is coming out of the database as we can call it from ODBC without any errors. If anyone's got any ideas as to what's going wrong please let me know!
The cut-down code follows:
public class JSMatt extends HttpServlet {
protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse resp)
throws ServletException, IOException {
PrintWriter out = resp.getWriter();
// Load the Oracle JDBC driver
out.println("Registering driver...");
Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver");
// Connect to the DB
out.println("Connecting to database...");
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:oracle:thin:@computer:db",
"username", "password");
// Create a statement using a stored procedure
out.println("Creating query...");
OracleCallableStatement st = (OracleCallableStatement)conn.prepareCall ("BEGIN archive.spSrchLanguage (?, ?, ?); END;");
st.registerOutParameter(3, OracleTypes.CURSOR);
st.setInt(1, 0);
st.setInt(2, 12);
st.execute();
ResultSet rs = ((OracleCallableStatement)st).getCursor(3);
null

Answer 1

Further study of my colleagues issue reveals that the problem only occurs where we are using a synonym for our package even though the user has permissions to run it (and indeed does when using ODBC or OLEDB).
If we call a procedure in our package which does not return a ref cursor then the procedure is getting called fine (as can be evidenced by the database inserts etc within the procedures).
Ideally we would like to use a synonym (I like to keep nice clean tidy schemas!) so if anyone knows how to get around it please let us know.

Jason.
