The type handler, in its current form, it's not enough to map out parameters since it does not allow to register out parameters before issuing the call. I've sucessufully create a typehandler that manages IN varray and, as far as I can understand, ibatis is not able to support such Oracle kind of types when they are OUT ones. That's why I proposed an enhancement. Giovanni
