How to specify an IN parameter that is like an Oracle data type of type TABLE?

Based on this previous stackoverflow question:

Extract Oracle table type from stored procedure using JDBC

The answer gave us a sample OUT parameter using Oracle getArray and java.sql.Datum. But what if I want to specify an IN parameter that has a data type of type Oracle TABLE?

CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE XXINV.XX_PROD_SRCH_RSLT_REC_TYPE IS OBJECT(

item_no                   VARCHAR2(30),  
inventory_item_id         NUMBER,  
organization_id           NUMBER,  
item_description          VARCHAR2(240),  
item_long_description     VARCHAR2(240), 
cat_description           VARCHAR2(240),  
category_set_name         VARCHAR2(240),  
nla_flag                  VARCHAR2(1),  
CONSTRUCTOR  FUNCTION XX_PROD_SRCH_RSLT_REC_TYPE RETURN SELF AS RESULT , 
MEMBER PROCEDURE log_prod_srch_rslt_rec_values (SELF  IN  XX_PROD_SRCH_RSLT_REC_TYPE) )

CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE xxinv.XX_PROD_SRCH_RSLT_TAB_TYPE AS TABLE OF XX_PROD_SRCH_RSLT_REC_TYPE;

And my SP is:

XX_PART_RESEARCH_PKG .GET_PARTS
   (p_called_from          IN     VARCHAR2,
    p_item_id              IN     NUMBER,
    p_category_id          IN     NUMBER,
    p_mnfg_part_id         IN     NUMBER,
    p_item_desc            IN     VARCHAR2,
    p_include_NLA_items    IN     VARCHAR2,
    p_catl_group_id        IN     NUMBER,
    p_catl_attributes      IN     XX_PROD_ATTR_TAB_TYPE,
    x_srch_rslt            IN    XX_PROD_SRCH_RSLT_TAB_TYPE,
    x_return_status        OUT    VARCHAR2,
    x_returb_msg           OUT    VARCHAR2
   )

where, since XX_PROD_ATTR_TAB_TYPE is a table as an IN parameter.

How to specify this in Java? I am using Oracle 10g release 2.
