Creating a DAD
Perform the following steps to create a DAD:
1.
Edit the DAD configuration file
ORACLE_
HOME /Apache/modplsql/conf/dads.conf
.
2.
Add a DAD where the DAD has the following format:
a.
The Oracle HTTP Server <Location> directive which defines a virtual path
used to access the PL/SQL Web Application. This directive begins
enclosing a group of directives that apply to the named
Location
.
For example, the directive <
Location /myapp
> defines a virtual path
called “
/myapp
” that will be used to invoke a PL/SQL Web Application
through a URL like
http://host:port/myapp/
.
b.
The Oracle HTTP Server “
SetHandler
” directive which directs Oracle
HTTP Server to enable
mod_plsql
to handle the request for the virtual
path defined by the named
Location
SetHandler pls_handler
c.
Additional Oracle HTTP Server directives that are allowed in the context of
a <
Location
> directive. Typically, the following directives are used:
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
AllowOverride None
d.
One or more
mod_plsql
specific directives. For example:
PlsqlDatabaseUsername scott
PlsqlDatabasePassword tiger
PlsqlDatabaseConnectString orcl
PlsqlAuthenticationMode Basic
e.
An Oracle HTTP Server
</Location>
directive which closes the group of
directives for the named
Location
, and defines a single DAD.
Note:
Older versions of
mod_plsql
were always mounted on a
virtual path with a prefix of ’/pls’. This restriction is removed in
newer versions but might still be a restriction imposed by some of
the older PL/SQL applications.
