In Application Builder, this container is called a region. Under Regions, click the Create icon as shown in Figure Next, you need to create a text field or item. An item can be a text field, text area, password, select list, check box, and so on. In this exercise, you will create a File Browse item. For Button Position, select Create a button in a region position and then click Next.
Run the page by clicking the Run Page icon as shown in Figure If prompted to enter a user name and password, enter your workspace user name and password and click Login.
See "About Application Authentication". Once you create the form to upload documents, the next step is to create a report on the document table that contains links to the uploaded documents. For Region, select Report and then click Next.
Your report should resemble Figure Note that your display may differ slightly depending on what files you have uploaded. The Report Attributes page appears. You can add a link to the ID column by editing Column Attributes.
ID parses the value contained in the column where ID is the column alias. Next, you create another table to store additional information about the documents that are uploaded. In this exercise, you:. Alter the SQL Report of uploaded files to join to the table containing the additional information. Click the Home breadcrumb link at the top of the page as shown in Figure Finally, you need to alter the SQL Report region to join it to the additional attributes table.
To accomplish this, you edit the Region Source attribute on the Region Definition page. Click Browse , locate a file to upload, and click Submit. As shown in Figure , the Uploaded Files report now contains a Subject column.
In certain cases, you may want to store uploaded documents in a table owned by your schema. For example, if you want to create an Oracle Text index on uploaded documents, you need to store the documents in a custom table. Now that documents are being stored in a custom table, you need to provide a way to download them. Click the Home breadcrumb link at the top of the page to return to the Workspace home page.
To avoid this situation, there are a couple of available options. You then create a hidden item on that page for the document ID of the document to be downloaded. The Page Definition for page 2 appears. A confirmation message displays at the top of the page: Region created. For Item Type, select Hidden and then click Next. Note that this approach has security implications that you need to be aware of.
To invoke your procedure, a user can click the links you provide, or a user can enter similar URLs in the Web browser's Address or Location field. A hacker could determine what file IDs exist in your table by legitimate or illicit means. Worse yet, in a mechanized attack, a hacker could submit successive IDs until an ID matches a file in your table at which time your procedure would download the file to the hacker.
Your assessment of the degree of harm that would result if a hacker were able to download a file. One technique you can use to protect an application is to call one of the Oracle Application Express security APIs from within the procedure in order to ensure that the user has already been authenticated.
For example, you could include a block of code into the procedure so that it runs first. Note that the actual file name may differ if a more recent release has shipped since this document was published. You should keep the directory tree where you unzip the files short and not under directories that contain spaces. Full development environment provides complete access to the App Builder environment to develop applications.
A Runtime environment enables users to run applications that cannot be modified. Full development environment. Run apexins. Runtime environment. Run apxrtins. Oracle Application Express must be installed from a writable directory on the file system. See " Reviewing a Log of an Installation Session. Skip this section if you are upgrading from a previous release of Oracle Application Express. In an upgrade scenario, the Instance Administrator account and password is preserved and carried over from the prior release.
Instance administrators are superusers that are responsible for managing an entire Oracle Application Express instance, including managing workspace provisioning, configuring features and instance settings, and managing security.
