The Future of Oracle XML DB
This seems to have been the big one for those with an interest in XML DB.
A number of speakers from the XML DB team presented on where the technology is going. Note that this was covered by the usual disclaimer that these developments will be released in Oracle's own sweet time, so don't make any purchasing decisions based on this stuff.
Mark Drake demo'd events, which are like triggers on the XML DB repository. So, you can have code run whenever you drop files into XML DB. His demo used FTP to send JPEG files into the repository, where the system (I'm afraid I didn't catch which bit) pulled out the metadata from the files and bundled it up into XML documents along with the images. Slick stuff indeed.
'Database Web Service' will in the future be a part of the database that provides an endpoint for web services. Basically, this is another interface to the database, so the web service could specify a stored procedure or a SQL statement. Web services can thus be created with very little development. We were given a handout that states 'Within 2 mins, your Oracle database will be ready for integrating with SOA applications'! If security is a concern then Oracle Web Service Manager can be implemented between the database and the outside world. It will then republish the web service without anyone needing to log on to the database.
