I have read several articles on Web Services on TechNet. It is still
not clear to me:

1. If I use Oracle9i EE on HP UNIX 11, do I have everything to deploy
web services. Many articles on web services mention about Oracle9i AS
OC4J containers. Does that mean I need Oracle9i AS (do I need to get a
license for it) or OC4J containers can be downloaded (if not already
available) with Oracle9i EE.

2. Same question for Oracle 10G, do I need Oracle10gAS for deployment.
I know using Oracle Jdeveloper, it is easy to develop web services, but
do I need anything from Developer to deploy a web service,


Thanks a lot.

Any thoughts on this.

Thanks.

No - it's just the Database (and HTTP server, if you installed that
from the Companion CD)

Just the OC4J will do nicely, and no, it's not included with the
database.

Thanks a lot for replying. Oracle shows examples on OTN whereby one can
call a web services from a stored procedure
in Oracle9i database. Examples always use http and not https. Is https
supported with Oacle9i at all, and further if yes,
does it require Oracle advnaced security. Oracle always mentions of
UTL_HTTP pacakage but does it conver https.

Thanks,

As far as I've done anything with the owa_http package, I just
remember calling a certain page from withing a procedure.
Wouldn't know a reason why that couldn't be a secured page?

Fairly easy to test, I'd say - just give it a try on any
https page, and see what you get back.
