Docker Container for Oracle XE

Building this container requires that a version of the oracle xe rpm be present in the build directory. The current latest version is oracle-xe-11.2.0-1.0.x86_64.rpm - but it should be possible to substitute this with another version, provided that the Dockerfile is updated accordingly.

At time of writing, the oracle xe rpm can be found here: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/database-technologies/express-edition/downloads/index.html

Python is also required to be present on the build system.

Ensure that you have the oracle xe rpm present. Python will be used to start a temporary http server in your build directory, and the docker build process will pull the install file into the container from here.

./build.sh

This should create a docker container with oracle xe deployed and configured within it. It does not start oracle-xe. The suggestion is that this container should be used as the basis for your own oracle xe container implementation.
