Oracle XE | HTTP login issue | workaround

When i tried out Oracle XE Edgy eft, I found that there seems to be a bug in the linux install (.deb) file that doesnt allow you to login to the http interface after installation.. if you select some other port than 8080.. to over come this you need to run this small script ..


SQL> begin
2 dbms_xdb.sethttpport('9090');
3 end;
4 /

This was needed for me coz most of my java appservers worked on 8080 and i was too lazy to change all of them :)
