About the Examples

This book contains a large number of fully working examples. Many are designed to help you build your own Oracle XML applications. To that end, I’ve included all examples on the O’Reilly web site (http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/orxmlapp ). The site includes full source code of all examples and detailed instructions on how to create the sample data required for each chapter. I’ll try to keep the code up to date, incorporating corrections to any errors that are discovered, as well as improvements suggested by readers.

In order to run the complete set of examples yourself, you will need the following software:

  • Oracle 8i Release 2 (version 8.1.6) or greater

  • Oracle JDeveloper 3.1 or greater

From the Oracle XML Developer’s Kit for Java:

  • Oracle XML Parser/XSLT Processor for Java, Release 2.0.2.9 or greater

  • Oracle XSQL Pages and the XSQL Servlet Release 1.0.0.0

  • Oracle XML SQL Utility

From the Oracle XML Developer’s Kit for PL/SQL:

  • Oracle XML Parser/XSLT Processor for PL/SQL Release 1.0.2 or greater

All of this software is downloadable from the Oracle Technology Network (OTN) web site for Oracle developers at http://technet.oracle.com and is available free of charge for single-developer use. For information on runtime distribution of the Oracle XML Developer’s kit components, read the license agreement on the download page of any of the components. For your convenience, all of the software listed—with the exception of the Oracle8i database itself—is available on the CD-ROM accompanying this book and is automatically installed as part of the JDeveloper 3.1 installation.
