Hello,

I've been looking for information about how to secure Oracle's embedded
pl/sql gateway or even to understand how exactly it works. I found a
lot on the pl/sql gateway available through Oracle HTTP server
(mod_plsql) but very little about the XML DB.

I found some information about how to configure basic embedded pl/sql
DAD and I came across the exclusion list api, which looks and sounds a
lot like Oracle's fix for the problems with the Oracle HTTP pl/sql
gateway since alert #68. I understand that problem is fixed in the
latest patch release April2006 but I still can't find much information
about XML DB.

Can someone point me at a technical document which describes how
embedded pl/sql gateway is different than the HTTP pl/sql gateway?
( I know on the surface there is no HTTP server running for XML DB but
the URL still access a port directly on the server apparently with some
sort of interaction with the listener and that's the information I'm
really interested in.)  Where are the actions using the embedded pl/sql
gateway logged? Are they logged to the listener log?

Thanks very much!

Mike Vavrus
