Problem was solved by reinstalling java1.4 from HP and providing a link jre to java Now we come into a new situation. With help of Oracle changed the command line script http-server configuration. We process xml data with http-server and when it comes through posting a html-form works correctly but when it comes through a direct http-post it fails inserting xml-format data into a table. I get empty string in the table. Anybody using xsql to insert xml in a table on 9.2.0.4 ? Regards, Jeroen -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
