Two new Oracle APEX whitepapers
Ok, they are not brand new anymore, they have already been released last month. But in case you are not reading David Peake’s blog or checking regularly the Oracle APEX website on OTN, the APEX team has published the following two new whitepapers:
- NTLM Authentication (a PL/SQL only solution) and
- Oracle APEX with RAC (Real Application Cluster)
Check them out!
Should you consider Apache 2.0 for an Oracle APEX installation?
Just read a very interesting posting by Joel Kallman, titled Oracle HTTP Server, Apache 2.0 and connection pooling. Before Oracle 11g, mod_plsql was just available for Apache 1.3 which had one big drawback on Unix systems. Apache 1.3 just supports a process model which prevents that mod_plsql can really take use of a database connection pool, because each process has his own “dedicated” database session which can’t be shared across process bounders.
Some interesting postings
In the past few weeks there have been a few interesting APEX related postings I want to share with you.
- Anthony Rayner started his own APEX blog and did an interesting posting about AJAX retrieval using Javascript Object Notation (JSON). Something I also want to integrate into one of the next versions of my ApexLib Framework.
- Carl Backstom blogged about how to integrate an Accordion widget into APEX (Part 1) / Part 2 and
- another posting done by Carl was about using JSLint to verify your JavaScript code.
- Andy Tulley blogged about Using Scrollbars in a Region.
- The last link which I want to share is about Different ways of counting clicks in Apex by Flavio Casetta!
Have fun reading them!
Oracle APEX related articles you should read
Lately a few Oracle APEX related articles have been published which you should read.
- John Scott posted a whitepaper about “APEX – Delivering Pages in 3 Seconds or Less” which he held on Colab 07 in Las Vegas.
- Dimitri Gielis also posted the whitepaper of his presentation about “APEX by Example: Shared Components“.
- The security section of the unOfficial APEX Wiki has been updated with a lot of additional information.
Nicer URL for an Oracle APEX application
There are several articles out on the net which cover nicer URLs for Oracle APEX applications.
This posting is just an overview of some of them, because I just came across a new blog posting for that topic and it’s an often asked question when you are going to deploy your new APEX application.
JavaScript compressor/packer
Are you doing JavaScript development and your JavaScript code has grown and grown? Have you ever looked at the available JavaScript compressors/packers?
