  HTTP servers with public access since remote attackers can create soap services and then invoke
  them remotely.

  Since SOAP services can contain arbitrary Java code in Oracle 9iAS this means that an attacker can
  execute arbitrary code in the remote server.");

  ApJServMount /dms2 ajpv12://localhost:8200/soap

  ApJServGroupMount /soap/servlet balance://group2/soap

  Note that the port number might be different from 8200. Also, you will need to change in the file:

  <osc:option name='autoDeploy' value='true' />

  to

  <osc:option name='autoDeploy' value='false' />");
