Session management within Internet Explorer

-
When developing web applications you sometimes want to develop/test your app with different users (sessions) simultaneously and not logout-login-logout-login every time to switch. When using Internet Explorer, you might have experienced some differences in session management between IE6/7 and IE8. I found this article on MSDN Blogs, which explains the differences and helped me to configure the behavior I wanted.

Remember Me - APEX Autologin

I promised to publish about this subject to one of the attendees during my presentation at KScope 12 in San Antonio. I used this functionality in my demo application ( FifApex ) and it seems there is interest in how to do this. Most of the public websites like Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, Amazon or OTN do have it: an option to stay logged in, even if you closed the browser, so you do not have to authenticate each time you visit the site again.

So, here my thanks to him for the original inspiration.   Oracle

Unfortunately (for the form developer), tables are usually part of a more or less complex data model, which is optimized for data storage, rather then for form-layout. Well, Apex offers some possibilities to the developer to enable tabular forms beyond 1:1 table based. Collections One alternative is to create your tabular form using the Apex Collection API. There is a good article on Martin Giffy D'Souza’s blog describing this technique. This collection-approach basically pre-fetches data into a (PL/SQL) collection from a query/cursor. The “collected” data will be displayed in the form. An on-submit page process will store the data submitted from the form into the collection. After this you can perform some validation before submitting the data to table(s) in an on-submit page process. Database Views Well, I favor an approach that keeps the

What could be a more appropriate anniversary present than a book entirely dedicated to and based on APEX version 4? I was very much looking forward to this book release, as this is one of the first APEX 4 books and the title suggests that there will be some recipes with new feature as ingredients. Main Course In formal dining, a well-planned main course can function as a sort of gastronomic apex or climax. In such a scheme, the preceding courses are desig
