"Wrong number or types of arguments" in nativeQuery with temporal parameter set to null

Question

Given the following Oracle SQL stored procedure signature:

PROCEDURE Update_Desactivation_Date(
    code_util              IN NUMBER,
    t_no_piste             IN VARCHAR2,
    date_depart            IN DATE);

Called from a Java JPA2 Hibernate context using the following code:

entityManager.createNativeQuery("CALL Update_Desactivation_Date(
        + ":code_util, "
        + ":t_no_piste, "
        + ":date_depart"
        + ")")
    .setParameter("code_util", 30320)
    .setParameter("t_no_piste", "087046")
    .setParameter("date_depart", null)
    .executeUpdate();

The execution yields the following exception:

WARN : org.hibernate.util.JDBCExceptionReporter - SQL Error: 6553, SQLState: 65000
ERROR: org.hibernate.util.JDBCExceptionReporter - ORA-06553: PLS-306: wrong number or types of arguments in call to 'UPDATE_DESACTIVATION_DATE'

How comes, since all parameters are set correctly ?

Answer 1

The null value for the date parameter is the culprit. You have to send an empty string:

entityManager.createNativeQuery("CALL Update_Desactivation_Date("
        + ":code_util, "
        + ":t_no_piste, "
        + ":date_depart"
        + ")")
    .setParameter("code_util", 30320)
    .setParameter("t_no_piste", "087046")
    .setParameter("date_depart", "")
    .executeUpdate();

This issue appears with all temporal types (DATE, TIME, TIMESTAMP)

Answer 2

An other possibility is to define a default parameter in your SQL procedure:

PROCEDURE Update_Desactivation_Date(
      code_util              IN NUMBER,
      t_no_piste             IN VARCHAR2,
      date_depart            IN DATE DEFAULT NULL);
