Does oracle10g is supported by XML editor XML Spy??

Question

All:
I have installed XMLSpy 2004 R3 professional edition and trying to Connect Oracle XML DB.
But I am getting error that "Invalid userId or Password".
I am trying to connect to:
Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.1.0.2.0 - Production
With the Partitioning, OLAP and Data Mining options
Does XML Spy supports Oracle 10g? if so which version?
ANd Plz let me know the steps to Connect..
I appreciate your help and Thanks in Advance.....

You first create a special user for XML DB in this case xml_dev with password masterkey:
CREATE USER xml_dev IDENTIFIED BY masterkey
TEMPORARY TABLESPACE temp
DEFAULT TABLESPACE users;
GRANT connect, resource, dba, xdbadmin TO xml_dev;
CONN xml_dev/masterkey@LOR;
Create some repository folders:
DECLARE
v_return BOOLEAN;
BEGIN
v_return := dbms_xdb.createFolder('/home/DEV/');
v_return := dbms_xdb.createFolder('/home/DEV/xsd/');
v_return := dbms_xdb.createFolder('/home/DEV/lom/');
COMMIT;
END;
Then connect with http or WebDav with port 8080 (maybe what you are missing) :
http://<server>:8080/home/DEV/xsd/
In XML Spy just put the URL user and password, in this case:
http://<server>:8080/home/DEV/xsd/
User: xml_dev
Pass: masterkey
Varify that you have the http server (apache) running on the server.
