11 Introduction to Spatial Web Services
This chapter introduces Oracle Spatial support for Spatial Web Services.
A web service enables developers of Oracle Spatial applications to provide feature data and metadata to their application users over the web.
Note:
- If you are using Spatial WFS or CSW support, and if you have data from a previous release that was indexed using one or more SYS.XMLTABLEINDEX indexes, you must drop the associated indexes before the upgrade and re-create the indexes after the upgrade.
- Deployment of Yellow Pages, Routing, and OpenLS services are not supported in Oracle Autonomous Database both in Serverless and Dedicated deployments.
For more information, see Index Maintenance Before and After an Upgrade (WFS and CSW).
