Bug uploading static files

I notice one bug when uploading static files. If you try to upload static file with same name as existing one and to same application you'll get error "Static file name already exists" and the file will be uploaded with flow_id 0 (view apex_application_files), but it won't be visible in APEX Builder. Also, when you try to download this file from builder, it looks like APEX randomly chooses which one to download.
I've tried this on apex.oracle.com and same thing.

Hi Marko,
Currently APEX doesn't have any version control for static files so I suggest adding a version number to the file name when uploading.
Thanks
Paul

Viewing uploaded static files

Hello.
We have a product demo we created in Flash file format that we are trying to post onto our Apex application's site.
The demo is comprised of a few files that work together as long as they sit in the same directory. They are of the following format:
html
mp4
swf
pnp
xml
js
I loaded them one by one into my ApEx application as static files.
When I reference them through my application, they don't work. The flash presentation does not run.
Any thought what it might be?
FYI, we have uploaded other static files into our app for other purposes (doc, pdf). Those work just fine.
thanks
Boris

Boris,
The demo is comprised of a few files that work together as long as they sit in the same directory.
I think the problem is what I've quoted from your message. Flash file needs the other files within the same directory and static files are stored on the database and called by a function.
I think the solution is to upload your files to the server filesystem.

Apex 4 static files names include file path

Hello,
I am using Apex 4 with the latest patch.
When I go into Shared Components and upload Static Files or CSS it is including the full file path as the name of the file when it is uploaded. Apex 3 did not do this, it simply used the file name.
For example, if I want to upload a file called "mystyles.css" and it is located in "C:\css\app1\work" the file when uploaded will be called: C:\css\app1\work\mystyles.css
When I want to reference this file in Apex code I need to call it C:\css\app1\work\mystyles.css instead of just mystyles.css.
Is there a way to make it use only the file name and not the file path?

Which browser and version are you using?
If it's IE, check the config for “Include local directory path when uploading files” security settings.

APEX 3.1.2 Static File Upload Issues

We are still running on APEX 3.1.2 though we hope to go to 4 very soon.
We had a production problem this past week that is perplexing. I have seen other posts referencing similar issues but no solutions.
We have an application that has several Static File Javascripts (.js). We already ran into the IE Upload bug so we only upload in Mozilla now.
We had changes to one of the .js files (identity.js). I deleted the old file using the Shared Components screen and uploaded the new one. The action was "Successful" but the file was still the old version. We deleted a file of 73 lines of code and uploaded a new version of 28 lines. After successful upload, we still would get the 73 line version . The app was still getting that version too.
I deleted it many times and tried again. I ran scripts to do both the delete and upload. I even deleted the file manually from the FLOWS_FILES table that held it. Still got the old version.
We bounced the server (thinking it was cached somewhere) - still got the old version. Finally, in desperation, I started cloning the app to another app number in another Workspace. Since we use aliases, I thought I could use a clean Workspace and uplad the new file there. This worked but - suddenly the old Workspace started using the correct file.
Is ther some secret cache somewhere that needs to be cleared out? I did not want to start randomly clearing out caches and there is no documentation on this issue.
Is it something about our config - we have Oracle HTTP Server, OC4J, and modplsql for this environment with a 10g database.
Any insight would be appreciated - my manager does not like "it fixed itself magically".

We ruled out the browser caching by trying the app on several other people's PCs.
I am thinking it is being cached somewhere in the APEX server environment but cannot find any documentation on where or what that might be.
I think I might have triggered a refresh when I was trying to implement a cloned version (in a different Workspace). It seems that the scope of a JS file is within its Workspace so we figured that a new Workspace would treat the changed file as a new file - and it did. During this process, we had duplicate ALIAS for a minute and I think that confused the APEX App Engine and triggered the refresh.
But that is a SWAG opinion.
I also thought of "versioning" the JS files but our developers are not too keen. If we don't find another solution, that may be what we have to do.

Static Files Bug?

I've noticed that deleting a static file from Shared Components doesn't actually remove the file from the files table.
When running :
SELECT * FROM APEX_WORKSPACE_FILES WHERE FILE_NAME LIKE 'bulk_import_%'
I see a series of old files that have been 'deleted'.
This is a problem because the 'Static Files' page shows the last record, but the download and edit links give you the first record.
This prevents you from updating a file with the same file name. If you do the old file is the one you get when you try to download it.
You can upload a new file with a new file but then you have to update every single link you have to that file.
Is this a known bug? I've tried searching metalink but didn't find anything useful.
Any tips would be appreciated.
Matt

Matt,
I also encountered the same issue. I think, it is a bug.

Uploading javascript file under static files

We uploaded the javascript file under static files. By default the mime type is "application/octet-stream". We are accessing this js file in our application however this is not working.
Is this because the mime type is "application/octet-stream"?
Please let us know how to change the mime type to javascript.

Actually, we were having the same problem and determined it to be an IE bug. If we upload the .js file using Firefox, it saves as the correct mime type, x-javascript. If we use IE8, it gets uploaded as octet. Because of this, Firebug did not recognize the file, we got the following error: "the resource from this url is not text: " with the link to the uploaded file. Hence, none of the functions included in the file worked in our application.

Bug: can't access static files with space in the path

Please let me know if this a a wrong place to file bug reports.
I installed webserver7u4 and when I try to access a static file within my war which contains a space in the path, I get HTTP404.

Error When Uploading a CSS file or Static file

When I am uploading a CSS or Static file , I get the following error. But I can upload images files with no issues.
ORA-02291: integrity constraint (FLOWS_FILES.WWV_FLOW_FILE_OBJ_FK) violated - parent key not found
Oracle XE upgraded to Apex 3.1
Please help
George

Yes, if you upload an image on a normal Oracle Apex Database its stored in the DB.
But, if you remember, when you configire apex you specify an images directory /i/.
Under this directory you will find all the images that apex uses as well as css files, etc.
If you place your image in this directory you can reference it my modifying the appropriate stylesheet/template.
So, for example, you cna place your own stylesheets in the appropriate directory on the server.

Embeding Uploaded PDF Static Files - Problems

Good morning all.
I have an application where users enter details and need to read through a selection of documents depending on what details they entered. I have uploaded 5 documents to my Apex server and used the following code to embed them inline (within the HTML itself)
<EMBED
SRC="http://server_name:7777/pls/apex/wwv_flow_file_mgr.get_file?p_security_group_id=824213546944709&p_fname=file1.PDF&p_inline=NO"
HEIGHT=500 WIDTH=800>This code was taken from the links on the Shared Components -> Static Files page in the Application builder
This all worked file on my development server, all the documents were displaying inline with the HTML document (Example - http://www.planetpdf.com/mainpage.asp?webpageid=1682 Example #1)
However, I realised one of the documents being displayed was wrong - file 1 was showing instead of file 2. I had embeded the wrong file in the page. So I just changed the &p_fname to file2.pdf. When I ran the page, all the other embeded documents were working fine, but the recently updated one was popping out of the window, and the region where I embeded the file was blank.
Now, I just exported my application to a new server for testing, and have had to change all the embeded regions to point to the newly uploaded files on the new server. None of these now show anything. They either show the little picture icon (red square, blue circle, red triangle) if I include the &p_inline=YES code, the same icon if I say &p_inline=NO instead, or if I drop this argument, the entire region is blank, and the Adobe PDF icon displays streched across the region after a new seconds.
Any hints?
Cheers,
Kate

Thanks for that Denes.
I just have one question - the source for your XML Report region shows the following code
DECLARE
   v   VARCHAR2 (200);
BEGIN
   v :=
         'SELECT '
      || '''<iframe src="#OWNER#.File_Table_Disp_Pr?p_file='
      || 2967670122524254593
      || '"'
      || ' height="880" width="600"></iframe>'''
      || ' document_display'
      || ' FROM DUAL';
   RETURN v;
END;The "2967670122524254593" refers to that file that was uploaded, yes? How do I find this number for my uploaded documents? I think it was a table somewhere, but I can't for the life of me remember which one.
Update: I found it - apex_applcation_files. I should just be able to insert the ID of the document I want in there, yes? I copied my document ID number (select id from apex_application_files) but the document is 404'ing on me.
help?

Queries on RAR 5.3 static files upload?

Hi all,
We have some doubts in uploading static text files in RAR 5.3 version. Can anybody please clarify at the earliest?
1) Can we prepare the SoD rule set in the static text files (as provided by SAP during installation)
till Action (t- code) level conflicts and upload the same. After that cam we add/change the
authorization objects manually as per the business requirement? Whether this is possible?
Does a small SPACE in the text file will impact the rule set uploading?
2) If we are configuring the rule set manually i.e when we are assigning t-codes to the functions,
we believe the authorization objects will gets picked up automatically from the back end system for that particular t-code and the object values can be edited as per the SoDs of the business requirement? Is our understanding correct?
If this is true, refer to question 1 whether we will get the authorization objects in case of
uploading the text files (Business process, Funcitons, rule set,action level) only at action
level?
3) Once if we have used the text files for uploading the rule set can we edit them manually i..e disabling the t-codes from function, deleting the risk ids etc.,. ORELSE even the changes has to be made in the text files and upload again replacing the existing rule set whenever there are changes in the SoD rule set?
Thanks and Best Regards,

Accessing substitution variables in static uploaded javascript file

Hi there,
I just created variables and a pageinit function in my page header and try to access these variables (Flow_Id, Page_Id etc) within a js-file I uploaded into workspace static files.
I try to use them within an URL ( e.g. "f?p="+ Flow_Id + ":100:" + Session_Id ), but they are -undefined- and thus lead to a 404-Page!
Here is the code:
onload="pageinit()"             //in page html body attribute
//and the following code in the html header
<script type="text/javascript">

</script>Can someone please point me to the right direction!?
Thank you very much.

Hi Paul,
I tried with IE 8 now and could at least find out now, which lines of code are responsible for the error:
addmenu(menu=[
"mainmenu",
69,
153,
1,
style1,
1,
"left",
1,
0,
,"Home","f?p=" + $v('pFlowId') + ":100:" + $v('pInstance'),,"",1 // "Description Text", "URL", "Alternate URL", "Status", "Separator Bar"
,"Tab2","show-menu=list01","tab2.html","",1
,"Tab3","f?p=300:1:","tab3.html","",1
,"Tab4","show-menu=list04","tab4.html","",1
])It must be the way I try to create the first URL (for Home) I already mentioned, because if I hard-code the URL, it works without errors.
I could hard-code the URL, but then I always get a new session-id. So, at least I need to find a way of accessing the current session-id here.
As mentioned before, I also tried to set global variables within a javacript function in the page header and assigning the current values for the session and app-id and reference these variables within the js-file I uploaded to the static files. But that did not work either. These variables were undefined.
I guess they were undefined because at the time when the function was processed the variable might not have been set yet.
But I followed exactly the solution Carl Backstrom mentioned in some of his posts some years ago. God bless him.
I am not a javascript expert, so maybe you got a hint for me!?
Thanks again for your support.
Johnny

Static file with application: deleted on app install/upgrade (bug?)

Hi,
say we have an app (app_id: 100) with abcd.js static file associated with this application (so this is not a workspace static file). Export this app, then import back plus install to the same workspace but on a different and existing application id. Now this new (upgraded) app has abcd.js associated with it in static files, but the original app 100 hasn't. Is this expected? I'm on apex 4.1.1.00.23

Non-application specific static files not visible in shared components

Hello,
We recently upgraded to APEX 4.0.2.00.07. In the past we have uploaded a number of static files with no specific application linked to them.
Now, when I search on these files using Shared Components -> Static Files, I don't find them back.
But, if I directly query the view APEX_WORKSPACE_FILES (using the APEX schema owner), I see all the files. They have APPLICATION_ID = 0 and APPLICATION_NAME is empty.
Is this a bug? I couldn't reproduce this with newly added static files, whether I specify an application or not.

Owen:
Excellent idea/perspective...I did not think of that. Each of our forms/screens has a seperate class file. Each class file has a CreateForm() routine that is called when an instance of the class is intiated behind the menu selection.
Here is a block of code In Main.vb I use to execute a menu selection:
Case "MPA"
'8/30/07 EJD - Work Order Parameters Screen
   If GetFormCount(G_MPAMaint_Form_Type).ToString = "0" Then
           Dim MPAForm As New MPA
           BubbleEvent = False
    Else
           UpdateStatus("Another MPA maintenance screen is already open", SAPbouiCOM.BoStatusBarMessageType.smt_Error)
           BubbleEvent = False
    End If
So, I can utilize this code in the case statement where I was doing the ActivateMenu if I hear you right. Now, can you help me with how I would pass the
variables instead of making them Public Shared in the Main class? Or is it ok to expose them that way?
I Appreciate the help,
Ed

Problems with import of static files/images

I have a series of static files (such as jquery/jquery ui libraries) that we have been storing in WORKSPACE_IMAGES. We had hoped to be able to export the static files and use our automated build process to import the files via sqlplus. However, I have run into problems with the files being "corrupted"...either they don't show up at all in firebug, or one file contains parts of another file, rendering it useless. If I delete these files and re-upload them separately through the builder, then I don't have any problems.
I can only assume there is some perhaps special character or some other issue that I'm not aware of either during the export process or the import process.
My first preference would be to store these files on the app server, but unfortunately that's not on the table at the moment.
Any ideas what would be causing the issues here?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Jeff

Hello all,
This is an old thread, but it's an old problem that I'm concerned may still be continuing.
We're moving from 3.2 to 4.1. While copying our applications from 3.2 to a test 4.1 installation, we did a static file export for "All static files" from 3.2 and did an import to 4.1. We're seeing the same behavior that I and others have reported in the past - any static files that are javascript are corrupted when "all static files" was chosen. Exporting/importing each javascript static file individually appears to work fine.
If the bug was in 3.2 in that it was generating a corrupted export file when "all static files" is chosen, then I'm not concerned - we're moving from 3.2 anyway. But, if the issue is in the import then it must still exist in 4.1 and that would be a concern.
Does anyone know if this was a recognized bug in 3.2 and has since been corrected?
Thanks!
John

Trying to get lighttpd to upload a file through perl cgi

The site is running over https with a self signed ssl-cert, if that matters. If I try to upload a file, the browser just quickly reloades the page, the filename still in the input field. The file isn't uploaded and the page that the script should display when completed doesn't show neither.
Does anyone know how to troubleshoot this? I'm not getting any errors, it just doesn't work..

I haven't used Websphere before so I can't say much about that. Try putting <%@ page language="Java" %> at the top of your jsp page.
Try putting your java files into a package and see if that helps. I read somewhere that Tomcat once had issues with running classes that weren't in a package. Make sure to put the package statement at the top of your Java files if you do.
Websphere says it caught an unhandled exception. Instead of having your method throw and Exception put your code in a try-catch block and then print a stack trace to see if it says anything when it trys to read and write data.
Try{
    PrintWriter pw = new PrintWriter(new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter("doUpload.txt")));
    ServletInputStream in = request.getInputStream();
    int a=0;
    a=in.read();
    while (a!= -1){
        pw.print((char) a);
        a=in.read();
    pw.close();
}catch(Exception e){
e.printStackTrace();
}Sorry I can't really give you more help.
