Dynamic file directories through javascript on page load

I fumble around with supporting objects to make my application as portable as possible without any manual scripting. One issue I had discovered had to do with static CSS and JS files provided by frameworks like Ext/YUI or JQuery. I just addressed them hard coded inside my template header:


<html lang="&BROWSER_LANGUAGE.">
<head>
#HEAD#
<title>#TITLE#</title>

Oracle Forms and APEX

Oracle Forms have a legacy of well over a decade in Oracle application development. The main reason for their popularity is their tight integration with the Oracle Database. The application development can be enormously fast when using them alongside Oracle Database. But the problem with Oracle development tools is that they are not up to the mark. Same applies for Forms and Reports Developer. Since 6i nothing has been done to improve them. Although Oracle has incepted a web interface starting from 9i but that does not seem to be much.

HMAC_SHA256 in PL/SQL

I have been working on an Application Express 4.0 feature to support consuming REST Web services. REST Web services use a simpler architecture than the popular SOAP style Web services. Instead of posting some big XML document wrapped in a SOAP Envelope, REST requests are typically done by passing name/value pairs in the query string of a URL.

Many Faces of Oracle APEX

There were a lot of people at this years ODTUG Kaleidoscope conference talking about Oracle Application Express (Oracle APEX). If you are good with SQL, APEX opens up a whole world of possibilities for rapid application development. And even if you’re not good with SQL the tool is easy enough to use that you can still build functional, secure Web applications.
