Web Service in APEX - read from SYS_REFCURSOR -

Question

Hi,
I created a package in the database 10g to give a result with multiple lines:
PACKAGE BODY "PKEMPLOYEES" AS
function getEmployees(p_dept_id number) return SYS_REFCURSOR
as
p_return_cur SYS_REFCURSOR;
BEGIN
OPEN p_return_cur FOR
'Select first_name from employees where department_id=' || p_dept_id;
return p_return_cur;
end getEmployees;
END;
Then, with the JDeveloper (10.1.3), I have deployed the package as a web service in OC4J Standalone and I used Jpublisher:
jpub -user hr/hr -sysuser sys/orclbd
-proxywsdl=http://144.22.197.113:8888/appEmp-ProjEmp-context-root/MyWSEmpSoapHttpPort?WSDL
-proxyopts=tabfun -httpproxy=(removed proxy - on our hosted instance, you cannot use web services)
-endpoint=http://144.22.197.113:8888/appEmp-ProjEmp-context-root/MyWSEmpSoapHttpPort
-plsqlpackage=pkWSEmp -dir=wsEmp
And, in APEX 2.2, I have tried to use the web service but there is an error:
ORA-20001: env:Clientcaught exception while handling request: unexpected element name: expected={http://hr/MyWSEmp.wsdl/types/}getemployeesXMLRowSetElement, actual={http://hr/MyWSEmp.wsdl}getemployeesXMLR
I think that the APEX don't recognize the SYS_REFCURSOR, but I don't know the way to resolve this.
Any ideas??
Thank you all,
Carla Diogo

Hi,
What I really pretend is to have a web service that give me the result of a query. The result is multiple lines of a table. I want to call it from APEX to view the result.
What I don't know how to do is the best way to have multiple line result from a web service, in APEX 2.2.
I need to call the web service from the database and then call the procedure in APEX? There is any type (with multiple line) that I can use on the web service that is recognized by APEX?
I'm new in this...
Thank you
