XML parsing failed - Works in Oracle Developer fails in SQLplus

Question

Hello,
I am trying to figure out what could possibly be causing my XML parsing to fail from sqlplus. Basically the exact same sql script fails with the following error when run from sqlplus but works fine in Oracle Developer.
Now I have read a number of posts talking about the NLS_Lang and characterset issues. But these are all running on the same machine.
Error Message Received:
ORA-31011: XML parsing failed
ORA-19202: Error occurred in XML processing
LPX-00222: error received from SAX callback function
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_XMLSTORE", line 78
ORA-06512: at line 53
Exact SQL Script
DECLARE
insCtx DBMS_XMLStore.ctxType;

System Information:
Oracle XE on windows XP. Everything is running on the same machine, sqlplus, Oracle Developer and the database are all on the same machine.
If you need any more information please let me know, and how to get the information you want. I am not a DBA so I don't know how to do a lot of things with oracle, but I do know that this SQL should be working.

Answer 1

NLS...read up on them
on the same machine, yeah and...?
(1) c:\> set NLS_LANG=.....
(2) c:\> sqlplus
-- sqlplus has the active nls settings set from (1)
3) you now connect to a database
- this database has an NLS character settings that where set during using a spfile or pfile
- or, as in the case of the characterset, was defined and set once, during the creation of the database.
So...
Your NLS settings in (1) can be different from the ones that are active in the database (3).
Your NLS settings are / can be set on windows on 5 levels
In the registry under /software/oracle:
1) on HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
2) on HKEY LOCAL USER
In the envionment settings from windows under control panel, system, advanced, environment settings:
3) on system level
4) on user level
5) On command level via explicitly setting the parameter before starting the actual program
So in all, you can have the case where the NLS settings from sqlplus or Oracle Developer or the database are all different.
