11 Introduction to Spatial Web Services
This chapter introduces Oracle Spatial support for Spatial Web Services.
Note:
You can deploy Oracle Spatial Web Services from Oracle Cloud Marketplace. This packaged application allows you to install Oracle Spatial web services (such as Web Feature Service (WFS), Web Coverage Services (WCS), and Catalog Services for the Web (CSW)) that are deployed in an Apache Tomcat web server instance on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI).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.For more information, see Index Maintenance Before and After an Upgrade (WFS and CSW).
