Now the first production release is out…

Check it out: WSDL services via the Oracle Protocol Listener. As mentioned in the documentation of the Oracle XMLDB Developers Guide, to enable the WSDL service:

DECLARE
  SERVLET_NAME VARCHAR2(32) := 'orawsv';
BEGIN
  DBMS_XDB.deleteServletMapping(SERVLET_NAME);
  DBMS_XDB.deleteServlet(SERVLET_NAME);
  DBMS_XDB.addServlet(NAME => SERVLET_NAME,
                              LANGUAGE => 'C',
                              DISPNAME => 'Oracle Query Web Service',
                              DESCRIPT => 'Servlet for issuing queries as a Web Service',
                              SCHEMA => 'XDB');
  DBMS_XDB.addServletSecRole(SERVNAME => SERVLET_NAME,
                             ROLENAME => 'XDB_WEBSERVICES',
                             ROLELINK => 'XDB_WEBSERVICES');
  DBMS_XDB.addServletMapping(PATTERN => '/orawsv/*',
                             NAME => SERVLET_NAME);
END;
/

This wil update the xdbconfig.xml file.

To use the WSDL service grant the role XDB_WEBSERVICES to the schema that needs it. This role enables use of Web services over HTTPS; it is required to be able to use Web services.
