What's Needed to Run Oracle XML Components

Oracle8i includes native support for Internet standards, including Java and XML. You can run Oracle XML components and applications built with them inside the database itself using Oracle JServer, Oracle8i's built-in Java Virtual Machine.

Use Oracle8i Lite to store and retrieve XML data, for devices and applications that require a smaller database footprint.

Oracle XML components can be downloaded for free from http://technet.oracle.com/tech/xml
