Strange problem with procedure calling from Java!!!

Question

I am using Oracle 8.1.7 Database, Oracle 8i Application server and WInNT platform.
I am facing a strange problem while inserting a String from Java to Oracle database through Procedure. When i am passing the String containing single quotes(e.g "test' and ' and ' end") and without including any escape charactes for the single quotes I am passing the String by the setString() method then the procedure is inserting the single quotes without any problem.
Of course when I am independently executing the procedure thru backend and passing the same String containing single quotes then the error message comes as " quoted string not properly terminated" which is justified,
I have even printed the String in a file through sql on the runtime of the procedure when it is called by Java and then also the String contatins single quotes that is passed through java without any escape characters. This means that procedure is inserting the String into the column without any hassles!!!!!
Can anyone tell me what may be the reason for the peculiar behaviour of Database?
Thanks

No actually in the documentation of oracle database 10g plsql user guide, oracle explains the concept of declaring nested plsql subprograms he gave the example but in the main block he gave NULL, without calling any procedure.Can you provide a link to where in the Oracle documentation you saw this example?
in order to know which procedure is getting first i added a dbms statement in both the functions and called the function from the main block.
the original example was
DECLARE
PROCEDURE proc1(number1 NUMBER); -- forward declaration
PROCEDURE proc2(number2 NUMBER) IS
BEGIN
proc1(number2); -- calls proc1
END;
PROCEDURE proc1(number1 NUMBER) IS
BEGIN
proc2 (number1); -- calls proc2
END;
BEGIN
NULL;
END;
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The original example is equivalent to:
BEGIN
   NULL;
END;That is, the main block never calls anything. Either you are misinterpreting the Oracle documentation, or if the example came from a non-Oracle source as I suspect, the author of that example has a deeply flawed understanding of how programming works.
