Customising an Apex url Example

 


When providing users with a link to your Apex application the url will typically look something like:

http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=44054:1:

where

  • 44054 represents the application and 
  • 1 represents the page number.

Apex allows the customising of url's so they can appear more descriptive, such as:

http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=MY_FIRST_APPLICATION:MY_FIRST_PAGE:

where

  • MY_FIRST_APPLICATION is the name of the application and
  • MY_FIRST_PAGE is the name of the page.

Naming the application

 

To give an application a name:

Application Builder -> Edit the Application -> Shared Componments

On the right side of the page, in a box titled Application click Edit Definition.

On the resulting page change the Application Alias to the name you want.




Click Apply Changes

Now, the url

http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=44054:1:

can be represented as

http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=MY_FIRST_APPLICATION:1:


Changing the Page Name

 

Click on the page.

In tree mode, double click on Page name



In the Page Alias text box enter a page alias and then click Apply Changes.



Now the url can be specified as

http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=MY_FIRST_APPLICATION:MY_FIRST_PAGE:
