Description:

The Oracle XMLDB Development team developed and added Protocol Server functionality to the known Listener functionality. Based on the Shared Server architecture, new methods came available to move data in and out of the database. Since then, this feature has enabled a lot of new possibilities, like local support of sharing APEX without the need of a web technology. This presentation will show and demonstrate ways to make maximum use of those protocols like: HTTP(s), FTP and WebDAV. The presentation will explain the XMLDB Protocol Server architecture and the ways to control it. Also new ways of sharing your data will be explained or demonstrated, for example, the Oracle 11g Native Database Web Service (NDWS) functionality, Repository Events and if allowed some of the new Oracle 11gR2 functionality. The presentation will present what you can do with out-of-the-box XMLDB functionality.
