How to create Oracle stored procedure and return ResultSet as OUT param...?

How can I create an Oracle stored procedure which return a ResultSet , so I can retrieve the ResultSet in Java like this:
CallableStatement cs = conn.prepareCall("{call PROC_XXX(?, ?)}");
cs.setInt(1, 25);// this is a parameter pass in as some condition
cs.registerOutParameter(2, java.sql.Types.OTHER);// this is the OUT parameter which will return as a ResultSet
cs.execute();
ResultSet rset = (ResultSet)cs.getObject(2);
//....Now I can go through the 'rset' ...
...
Will be very appreciated if any one can give out a sample, thanks advance !

Hi
You should use <code>executeQuery()</code> rather than <code>execute()</code>. This returns a ResultSet object, which does not need to be registered as an output parameter.
Just set your input params as normal then use something like:
<code>
ResultSet results = cs.executeQuery();
</code>
You will obviously need to amend the number of input param placeholders and parameters expected by the underlying stored proc.
Hope this helps

Hello,
Here is the code to get the resultset (oracel cursor as out parameter)
Note : I m using oracle thin driver.

String s = "{CALL GET_DETAIL(?, ?)}";
CallableStatement c = con.prepareCall(s);
try{
c.registerOutParameter(1, Types.NUMERIC);
//OracleType and OracleCallableStatement classes are
//provided by driver.
c .registerOutParameter(2,OracleTypes.CURSOR);
cst.execute();
ResultSet cRst = ((OracleCallableStatement)c).getCursor(2);
}catch(SQLException ex{
}

The above link has sample code for using/getting refcursors from stored procedures (look for "Query Variables (Refcursor)" link for the sample code.
