This is a backup of my post, with the same title, on the AMIS Technology Blog site

It is nagging…

I got an email from that you are able to download the handouts from ODTUG until half September (download them now, 1/2 September they will be archived and you will need an account to access them). Because I am highly interested on XML / XMLDB stuff, I scrolled through the list. My eye caught the presentation of Mr. Ken Atkins. As far as I can see from his picture on his website he looks like a nice, cool guy, but I can’t resist making some remarks here about the slides from his presentation: “XML Data Into and Out of Oracle – Using PL/SQL”. Making these remarks is difficult, I wasn’t there, I don’t know the exact context in which they are said in, but…

Anyway. Hereby some of my pointers, based on this presentation…

It is undocumented. At least I couldn’t find references. In the XMLDB Protocol Server there is an extra service called orarep, and of course, everything which is undocumented interests me to pieces.

The xdbconfig.xml XMLDB Protocol Server configuration file has the following content ( “<>” has been replaced by “[ ]”):

[servlet-mapping]
  [servlet-pattern]/orarep/* [/servlet-pattern]
  [servlet-name] ReportFmwkServlet [/servlet-name]
[/servlet-mapping]

If you try something like http://localhost:8080/orarep/ something like the following will show up.
