DBPrism is an open source framework to generate dynamic XML from a
database. Unlike other technologies, such as Apache XSP or Oracle XSQL
servlet , DB Prism generates the dynamic XML inside the database,
transforming it into an active database. An active database means that
you use the database engine not only to execute SQL statements, but to
directly return a complex XML representation of the data stored inside
as well.
Oracle DB 8i (8.1.5+ ) with newest!!! JDBC driver, or Oracle 7.1.6+ with compat mode set to 7x, or Oracle Lite 4.0.
JDK 1.4.x
Servlet engine Tomcat/Resin/OC4J and others
Webserver for displaying static HTML pages (Apache, Apache or Apache)
Since Oracle 8.1.7+, the database already have OWA toolkit installed. If you use XML java integration you don't need htp packages.
