Hi,

We get an ORA-29532 when executing what is a relatively simple query - please see code below. Does anyone have any ideas? We are running Oracle 8.1.7.3 on an HP 9000/820 under HP-UX B.11.00.

Any help greatly appreciated!

declare
queryCtx DBMS_XMLquery.ctxType;
result clob;
begin

DBMS_JAVA.SET_OUTPUT (1000000); queryCtx := DBMS_XMLQuery.newContext('select 1 from dual'); result := DBMS_XMLQuery.getXML(queryCtx); DBMS_XMLQuery.closeContext(queryCtx);
exception when others then
dbms_output.put_line(substr(sqlerrm,1,255)); end;

EXCEPTION
java.lang.NullPointerException
  at oracle.xml.sql.query.OracleXMLStaticQuery.getXML(OracleXMLStaticQuery.java:628) ORA-29532: Java call terminated by uncaught Java exception: java.lang.NullPointerException Received on Fri Jul 19 2002 - 20:34:03 CEST
