Now that Oracle APEX 18.1 development is winding down, code freezes are in place, and only bug fixes are being allowed to be addressed, I’ve directed my development efforts in another direction. With the eventual goal taking the ORDS screens I created for APEX and implementing them in a forthcoming SQL-DEV Web version, I have started learning about Oracle JET. If …
Swagger Doc from APEX ORDS RESTful Workshop
Last week Dietmar Aust tweeted about the APEX 18.1 ability to generate Swagger Doc from your ORDS based RESTful services. This is actually an innate ability within ORDS itself and is simply exposed through APEX. What may not have been obvious in EA2 was that there is also a new Instance setting under the REST section. The new setting takes …
ORDS and APEX – Common REST definitions at last
Since re-joining Oracle, my first major project has been to work on better integration of APEX and ORDS when it comes to the definition of RESTful Services. APEX has long had the ability to define and serve RESTful Services on its own. These have been managed via a section of the SQL Workshop known as the RESTful Services Console. These …
A CHANGE IN DIRECTION
Having just re-read quite a few of my previous blog posts (especially the last two), I can see that over the last while I’ve been a bit restless and unsettled. Looking back over my career recently I realized that I’ve been doing consulting for probably 20+ of my 28 year tenure. I don’t regret any part of it as it’s …
Coming Full Circle.
In April’s blog post, I alluded to the fact that the future had a number of changes in store and that I wasn’t exactly sure what shape those changes would take. Since April, a lot has happened; avenues have been explored, opportunities have been entertained, and decisions have been made. It’s been a very interesting few weeks, but I believe …

APEX Printing in Depth – OOW Sunday Symposium
If you’re going to Oracle Open World and will be there for the ODTUG Sunday APEX Symposium, then you’re in for quite an interesting set of sessions. When discussing what would be a good topic for this year’s set of presentations, we wanted to focus on an area within APEX from which everyone could gain some benefit. Although there are …
APEX and Exadata is in my future.
Since joining forces with Enkitec, I’ve managed to stay blissfully unaware of some of the things that they’re best known for. Namely being top of the food chain when it comes to knowing what’s what about Exadata. However, that’s about to change! A couple of the larger clients we worked with while we were still Sumneva have become so successful …
Using APACHE ANT to build APEX projects.
At Oracle Open World 2012, Scott Spendolini and I did a presentation entitled “Developing Commercial APEX Applications”. One of the topics that seemed to get a lot of attention and a number of questions was automating our build process using ANT. Several people requested a copy of the ANT script, so instead of sending it out individually, I’ve decided to …
‘Growl’ style notification messages for APEX
A question was asked in this thread on the APEX forums that got me itching to do a science experiment. The basic question was this: “Is it possible to produce ‘Growl’ style notifications in place of the standard APEX Success and Failure messages?” In short the answer is an unequivocal ‘Yes’, and here’s how: First, unless you’re a JavaScript whiz …
