[XSU] OracleXMLSave

Question

Hi!
I have a problem with loading XML file with OracleXMLSave.
I would to load an XML file 2 levels deep in an object-relational table in Oracle 9.2.0.1
the problem is generating the right schema DB for sustain the 2 level deep XML file.
my file is like this:
<person>
<name>alex</name>
<face>
<eyes>green</eyes>
<hair>brown</hair>
</face>
</person>
I created this schema DB on Oracle:
CREATE TYPE face_type AS OBJECT
("eyes" VARCHAR2(10),"hair" VARCHAR2(10))
CREATE TYPE person_type AS OBJECT
("name" VARCHAR2(20),"face" FACE_TYPE)
CREATE TABLE person_tab (person PERSON_TYPE)
my java code:
OracleXMLSave sav= new OracleXMLSave(...);
sav.setRowTag("person");
sav.setIgnoreCase(true);
sav.insertXML(<person><name>alex</name><face><eyes>green</eyes><hair>brown</hair></face></person>);
the problem:
the code don't generate exceptions or errors but the result in the table is not what I expected,in fact
the output of the below code
OracleXMLQuery qry = new OracleXMLQuery(con, "select * from PERSON_TAB");
String output = qry.getXMLString();
is:
<?xml version = '1.0'?>
<ROWSET>
<ROW num="1"/>
<ROW num="2"/>
</ROWSET>
(a <ROW> like these ones above for each inserXML(...))
Can somebody help me please? because I tried many and many times to understand where is the problem unsuccessfully :(
.Chucky.

I did the following test. How is your case different from this one below?
SQL> create table tt (n number);
Table created.
SQL> create table tt2( n number );
Table created.Then I wrote the Java program below:
import java.sql.*;
import java.io.*;
import oracle.xml.sql.dml.*;
import oracle.xml.parser.v2.*;
import org.w3c.dom.Document;
class TBone {
final static String xml =
"<ROWSET><TT><N>1</N></TT><TT2><N>2</N></TT2></ROWSET>";
public static void main (String arg[]) throws Exception {
Connection cn = ConnectionHelper.getConnection();
OracleXMLSave tt = new OracleXMLSave(cn,"TT");
OracleXMLSave tt2 = new OracleXMLSave(cn,"TT2");
DOMParser p = new DOMParser();
p.parse(new StringReader(xml));
Document d = p.getDocument();
tt.setRowTag("TT");
int rows = tt.insertXML(d);
System.out.println(rows+" rows inserted into TT");
tt2.setRowTag("TT2");
rows = tt2.insertXML(d);
System.out.println(rows+" rows inserted into TT2");
cn.close();
}and I get the output:
1 rows inserted into TT
1 rows inserted into TT2
and I correctly get a row with number 1 inserted into table TT and a row with number 2 inserted into table TT2.
