generate big XML pages with DBMS_XMLGEN and PL/SQL Web Toolkit

Hello, Oracle DB 9.0.1 and AS 9.0.4 here. I would like to use the DBMS_XMLGEN package for converting a query into XML and printing it on the web via PL/SQL Web Toolkit.

Something along the lines of:

  procedure xml is

    dsql varchar2(32767) ;
    ctx dbms_xmlgen.ctxHandle;
    xml clob ;

  begin

    dsql := 'select ... from ... where ... order by ... ' ;

    ctx := dbms_xmlgen.newContext (dsql);     xml := dbms_xmlgen.getXML (ctx);
    dbms_xmlgen.closeContext (ctx);

    owa_util.mime_header('text/xml',true,'iso-8859-1') ;     htp.print(xml);

  end ;

The problem is that htp.print accept a varchar2 as a parameter, so it dones't work if the length of the clob is more than 32767 characters.

Is there a way to print out a clob via PL/SQL Web Toolkit?

Thank you. Kind regards,
