pass object from Java to Oracle procedure

Question

To pass an array to oracle procedure we use ArrayDiscriptor and ARRAY objects. What objects do I have to use to pass an object to a stored procedure?

Answer 1

The ArrayDesciptor and ARRAY classes (as well as StructDescriptor and STRUCT) map to Oracle TYPES - i.e. objects created something like...

create type my_obj as object( id varchar2(x), etc );

If you have access to the java, you should be able to see where the ArrayDescriptor is constructed and get the database type name from that.

You can use these oracle types as parameters to functions and procedures.
