Appendix B. Installing the Oracle XSQL Servlet

This appendix describes how to install the Oracle XSQL Servlet. This servlet can be used with any servlet engine that supports mapping file extensions to a servlet class.

Installing the XSQL Servlet requires just two key steps:

    • oraclexsql.jar

    • oraclexmlsql.jar

    • xmlparserv2.jar

    • classes111.zip

    • < directory containing XSQL Config.xml file >

  2. Map the .xsql file extension to the oracle.xml.xsql.XSQLServlet servlet class.

Any requests made to your web server with the .xsql file extension will then be processed by the XSQL Servlet. Note that the .xsql file extension is purely a convention. You can map any file extension (or several different extensions) to the Servlet class without problems.

Supported Configurations

The XSQL Servlet is designed to run on any Java virtual machine, using any JDBC driver, against any database. It has been tested against the most popular configurations. In this section, we document the supported configurations.

Supported Java JDK Versions

XSQL Pages and the XSQL Servlet have been tested using:

  • JDK 1.1.8

  • JDK 1.2.2

Supported Servlet Engines

This XSQL Servlet has been tested with the following servlet engines:

  • Oracle ...
