I'm working from memory here, but there is a procedure in a built-in package, I think it is DBMS_JAVA, that redirects standard output from a Java Stored Procedure to the same buffer that DBMS_OUTPUT uses. You call this procedure, then your Java method, and then you can SET SERVEROUTPUT ON to see the output in SQL*Plus or you can read it with DBMS_OUTPUT.GET and DBMS_OUTPUT.GET_LINE.

We 'echo' out values to standard out. is there anyway to catch this echo with a java stored procedure? I thought about redirecting it to a file and reading it in with utl_file, but that makes it more complex. any other way to do this? -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.net -- Author: John Flack INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fat City Network Services -- 858-538-5051 http://www.fatcity.com San Diego, California -- Mailing list and web hosting services --------------------------------------------------------------------- To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).
