On itself, this one is very simple, but to my surprise it still not very clear when I read the questions about this on the OTN XMLDB forum. Maybe this occurs because this isn’t mentioned on the OTN XMLDB FAQ thread, which isn’t read as much as it should be. A lot of really good examples of Mark (Drake) are described in more detail here, and the are definitely worth your time.

So how to enable the WebDAV, HTTP(s) and FTP(s) functionality via the protocol server?

Before Oracle database version 10.2 this is done default (HTTP on port 8080, FTP on port 2100). After (and in my opinion this is the correct behavior) port numbers are set to 0 (zero) and therefore this functionality is disabled.

The XMLDB Protocol Server functionality is configured and controlled via the xdbconfig.xml file. Updating this file via SQL statements is described in the following section.
