Re: JPA Calling an Oracle function with OUT parameter

I'm relatively new to JPA (Java Persistence API).  I'm given an
Oracle function I need to execute through an EntityManager.  The
function has an OUT parameter (the first one) declared in addition
to returning a value.  I'm trying the following code:

    EntityManager em;
    ...
    Query query = em.createNativeQuery("{ ? = "
            + "call MY_FUNCTION(?,?,?,?,?,?,?) }");

    query.setParameter(1, null);   // XXX: registerOutParameter ?
    query.setParameter(2, ...);
    ...
    query.setParameter(7, ...);

    List result = query.getResultList();

I don't know how I can register (and later get) the first parameter
as OUT parameter, pretty much like one could do with JDBC
(java.sql.CallableStatement), and I'm getting an exception as:

java.sql.SQLException: Missing IN or OUT parameter at index:: 9

How could I workout the given case?

FWIW, I'm working with JBoss 4.2.2.GA and Seam 2.0.2.SP1.

If there's any support for it at all, it'll be a JPA-vendor-specific
feature. The JPA provider for JBoss 4 is Hibernate; as far as I'm
aware, there's no general purpose support for stored procedure calls,
only some special-case support for a few specific forms. Check the
hibernate docs for details:

querysql.html#sp_query>

16.2.2.1 has some specific notes for Oracle sprocs.
