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.
