I noticed that when I wanted to do some tests with the 11g Native Database Web Service (again), NDWS for short, that I had to gather the information from all over the place on my site. Which was not so very handy. So here a short intro how to set it up, configure and deploy it, also based on the OTN XMLDB Forum example from Mark Drake.
Overview
In short you will have to do the following steps:
- Install Oracle XMLDB
- Enable the Protocol Server for HTTP access
- Enable the orawsv entry points in xdbconfig.xml
- Create an example to test the NDWS service
- Test the NDWS service by calling the WSDL entry point
- Troubleshooting
Sounds very complex, doesn’t it? But be assured, it isn’t at all. As pointed out, most of it is described in posts on this site.
