Change XMLDB Ports

This document explains how to change the default ports (8080 for HTTP and 2100 for FTP) in XMLDB.
Oracle XMLDB uses the ports 2100/8080 by default. Sometimes there are problem with other webservers (e.g. JBOSS) running on the same port.

Even if the package dbms_xdb is granted to PUBLIC you need DBA privileges to change the ports.

-- change HTTP port from 8080 to 8083
call dbms_xdb.cfg_update(updateXML(dbms_xdb.cfg_get(), '/xdbconfig/sysconfig/protocolconfig/httpconfig/http-port/text()', 8083));

-- change FTP port from 2100 to 2111
call dbms_xdb.cfg_update(updateXML( dbms_xdb.cfg_get(), '/xdbconfig/sysconfig/protocolconfig/ftpconfig/ftp-port/text()' , 2111));

-- refresh settings
exec dbms_xdb.cfg_refresh;

XMLDB

Oracle XML DB is a feature of the Oracle Database. It provides a high-performance, native XML storage and retrieval technology. It fully absorbs the W3C XML data model into the Oracle Database, and provides new standard access methods for navigating and querying XML. With Oracle XML DB, you get all the advantages of relational database technology plus the advantages of XML.

Oracle XML DB is available since Oracle 9i Release 2.

Oracle installs a HTTP and FTP listener in the database running on port 8080/2100.

Since Oracle 10g Rel. 2 there is also a HTTPS listener available.
