How to link a XMLType table to a repository?

Question

I follow following steps:
1) register a schema and generate a default table
2) insert XML documents ( specifing the schema just registered) into the table by using SQL
But how to let those XML documents show up in the repository so that users can access to them by using HTTP/FTP so that any update done to the table will be reflected in the repository and vice versa.
I tried many things but no luck.

Answer 1

Everything looks OK to me. In the folllowing example the createResource() is the equivilant of the WebDAV copy. Do you have multiple database instances running on the server machine. It is possible that the WebDAV connection is connected to another database instance.
What folder are you copying the data into
Can you do
select path from path_view where under_path(res,'/targetFolderForWebDav') = 1
