I'm trying to apply the example at http://community.jboss.org/wiki/MappingOracleXmlTypeToDocument ... that is, store data in the database in an XMLType column but transparently handle it in the Java middle tier as a W3C DOM object. I'll probably end up using a custom application-relevant schema for the data, and thawing it to an application-specific Java bean using something like JiBX, but as an experiment I tried a simple XML document with an <html> top-level tag and ran into a wierd error:
-----
Echoing document: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-16"?><html>
<head><title>A manually typed document</title></head>
<body> One line <br/> Another line <br/> A third line </body>
</html>

I haven't yet been able to trace in to the point of the error with a debugger to see what's actually in memory, but it looks like something is adding an unclosed <META> tag. My code works fine when the top-level tag is something else, say <a> or <zz> or <data>. Has anyone else run into this? Is there any other workaround?
I'm using the files "ojdbc14_g.jar", "xmlparserv2.jar" and "xdb_g.jar" taken from an Oracle 10gR2 server. I've tried running my code against an Oracle 9i server running on Windows XP and against an Oracle 11g server running on RHEL5 64-bit. When I try running with the corresponding JAR files from Oracle 11g, Hibernate complains that it can't parse its configuration-file. The Java version I'm using is "IBM J9 VM (build 2.4, JRE 1.6.0 IBM J9 2.4 Windows XP x86-32 jvmwi3260sr9-20101124_69295 (JIT enabled, AOT enabled)".
