OEM and the HTTP Listener

I thought I'd give the 10G version of OEM a try.  I vaguely recall it =
uses an HTTP listener on the monitored database for reasons I cannot =
recollect.  Is this ture, and if so is it necessary.  I've always held =
the opinion running such a listener on the database was inviting =
trouble, and have never allowed one.
