Using PLSQL Event action with REST call for validation

I almost got there . if this code helps someone. see below. I know it is specific to our custom entity, but essentially it calls our web service which returns a json object like so

{"severity": "Warning", "result": "Your message goes here"}

I am saying almost, because I am having issues where on-line sql does not like variables declared as PLSQLAP_DOCUMENT_API.Document

declare

	BEGIN
	    DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(JSON_STR_);
		START_ := INSTR(RESPONSE_, '{');
		END_ := INSTR(RESPONSE_, '}', -1);
		JSON_STR_ := SUBSTR(RESPONSE_, START_, END_ - START_ + 1);

		--JSON_OBJ_ := TREAT(JSON_OBJ_.GET_OBJECT('data') AS JSON_OBJECT_T);
