One of the smaller but really helpful and cool features of Oracle APEX 4.0 is the Available Updates Section.

Yesterday the Patchset APEX 4.0.1.00.03 was released and today i can see it in my APEX Builder.

The Oracle APEX Builder Plugin is a productivity and usability enhancement tool for the development environment of Oracle Application Express (APEX).

It integrates with Firefox and Internet Explorer to put a wealth of new features to your favourite development tool. The good news is, it’s Open Source and you can use it for free!

I got a couple of questions over the last weeks regarding the ApexLib Framework and Oracle APEX 4.0.

  • Is ApexLib still under active development?
  • Do we need ApexLib on APEX 4.0?
  • What about my applications using ApexLib, can i upgrade to APEX 4.0?

In short: you don’t need to worry.

Do you know this: You just wanted to try something out and after a couple hours playing around with APEX you already have a pretty good application.

Problem is, you experimented on a demo-workspace or on apex.oracle.com and now want to move everything to your own personal development workspace.

Today i released the new Version 2.1 of the ApexLib Framework.

This is a maintenance release containing some bug fixes and new features.

Have you ever tried to create a truly interactive Form with APEX?

Struggling with JavaScript, AJAX calls in APEX, Application Processes and still it doesn’t work as you like?

Using the new ApexLib 2.1 all you need to do is create a PL/SQL Page Process and call it from a button with apexlib.process.executePageProcess.

ApexLib comes with a better Error Display Solution, which sometimes can cause troubling behaviour.

When displaying error messages in the notification area the rest of the page is shifted downwards a little. This is no problem most of the time, except in this case:

Just to let you know, ApexLib continues to make Oracle APEX a better product and works with also with APEX 4.0 .

It’s finally done !

ApexLib Version 2.0 is released, go over there and download it and enjoy the new functions.

ApexLib 2.0 now uses the latest version of jQuery 1.3.2 .
