Linking to external URL using POST from a button in APEX

APEX Experts
Does anyone know how to link to an external URL using POST rather than GET behind an APEX button? I'm pretty sure there must be a javascript call but I'm a real newbie to both APEX and Javascript.
Also does anyone know why APEX decodes an encoded URL before sending it out and how to stop it?
Thanks
Deborah

I did something similar recently but it was in .NET.
Hopefully someone else here can help you do with Apex and Oracle. I am new to both.
To POST instead of GET is not as easy as it sounds.
What I did was open a new window where I outputted a dynamically created form. I would think that you would do that by using the pl/sql web toolkit to call a procedure and output the form using htp.p. You may also be able to do it with Apex (I think they are built using the same tech).
Basically, your proc would look something like this:
htp.p('<html><head>');
htp.p('</head><body onload="document.FORM.submit();">');
htp.p('<form name="FORM" method="POST" action="www.UrlToPostTo.com" >');
htp.p('<input name="PostVar" type="hidden" value="' || MyValueToPost || '">');
htp.p('</form></body></html>');
So, it creates a html page with a form. When the page loads, it runs the javascript to submit the form to the other site. You can add in as many post items as you need. I marked them as hidden so that the user only sees a blank page briefly before the form is submitted.
I am sure there is more to it than that, but it gives the general outline of how to post to another site dynamically. Hopefully someone else can fill in the rest.

  • Accessing External Url using Http Utility | Error when using from Weblogic on Solaris

    We are using Http Utility (http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/httpclient/) from
    Apache for accessing external URL. A XML string is sent as POST parameter to the
    URL and the response is also an XML string. The URL is accessed over HTTPS protocol.
    I am setting the following parameters in the java class:
    Security.addProvider(new com.sun.net.ssl.internal.ssl.Provider());
    // set the property
    System.setProperty("java.protocol.handler.pkgs","com.sun.net.ssl.internal.www.protocol");
    The java class written to access the external URL using Http Utility works perfectly
    fine when it is run from either the command line (of Windows or Solaris using
    main() ) or from weblogic on windows. The same java class throws an exception
    when run from Solaris instance of Weblogic

  • Using POST from an applet

    Hi,
    I need to connect to a URL from my applet and have the results show up in a new browser window. I have to use POST method since I need to submit a lot of parameters with the request. If I could have used GET method instead, this could have easily been accomplished using showDocument method. Even though applets can connect to a URL using POST, I could not locate any information on how to display the results in a new browser window. Anyone know how this can be accomplished?

    To POST data to servlet :
    - get data in applet by using getText() or getSelectedItem ...
    - Open connection by URL class
    - Open outputStream by BufferedWriter class
    - Using write(String) to write data then close the tream
    - to Receive data from servlet : getInputStream by BufferedReader class and then using readLine() to read data .
    - Notice : you must make a protocol for your Applet and Servlet able to interface with it other
    Good luck !

  • Link Webi Report to External URL using URL contained in Dim Object

    I am trying to create a link in my WebI report to an external URL which is stored in a Dimension object.
    The object is simply a string format which contains a link to a Lotus Notes database
    Example:
    Notes:///CA2573920000079B/0B4D8972EDD5DE7CCA257109000682B7/32250ACFEAF2B80FCA2573AB00831255
    When I put the link into Internet Explorer I get the appropriate Lotus Notes databse, however, when trying the same in WebI using the following formula:
    ="<a href=[Notes url1] target='_blank'>Test</a>"
    I get the following URL when clicking the link from InfoView
    http://auyhoz04.an.orica.net:8080/businessobjects/enterprise115/desktoplaunch/viewers/cdz_adv/[Notes%20url1]
    If I hardcode the URL into WebI
    ="<a href='Notes:///CA2573920000079B/0B4D8972EDD5DE7CCA257109000682B7/32250ACFEAF2B80FCA2573AB00831255' target='_blank'>Test</a>"
    It works without a problem.
    I'm sure I'm missing something simple...is anyone able to help?

    Nathan,
    When you build a URL on the fly it requires a certain way to encapsulate everything.  Here is another way for you to try it:
    ="<a href="+Char(34)+[Notes url1]+" target='_blank'>Test"+Char(34)+"</a>"
    Plz note the use of Char(34) which generates a double-quote.  This method should help you with getting a dynamic product delivered to your audience.
    Thanks,
    John

  • Link to external URL from flash site

    Is there any way to link to an external URL from your flash
    site without having the flashplayer prompt you to change your
    settings and allow access to that page? (this only applies to swfs
    viewed through a browser)
    the only way around this i've found isn't very useful - you
    have to put a small xml file on the host server where the page you
    want to link to is located. i seriously doubt every site you want
    to link to will allow you to put an xml file on their host server
    just so you can link to their page. the code in the xml file just
    tells flashplayer that the site you are trying to access is safe.
    it's called crossdomain.xml
    anyone have an answer?
    thanks!

    Answer
    no it doesn't. getURL() causes no security issues unless you
    try to open the html locally and (try to) access something on the
    internet.
    unless your "flash site" is your local computer there is no
    security issue. if your local computer is an internet server, you
    just need to set the security settings for your local file and give
    it permission to access the internet zone.

  • Archive Link and external URL Link

    Hi,
    we use Archive Link, NO own documents (like CV01N,..). We want to define different document types (oac2) and link them to via url to an external webserver, the user should see the doc in the normal attachment list.
    Doc Typ    url
    DOC1        http://www.xsfd.wer/show?...
    DOC2        http://www.ssdfs.ver/show?
    In oac0 (definition content rep) there is an subtyp called "URL", looks like it could be this kind of rep? All  solutions and hints I found where based on DMS/KPRO not ArchiveLink. I don't want to use link to external Document via GOS.

    Dear all,
    no, I found no solution to access automatically! And I was not able to find a definition of the "URL" Repository.

  • Open URL, use POST method in new window

    From a Java program, how do we open a https connection, basically a secured site, in a new window and pass some parameters to the link, using POST method?

    Hi
    Is JavaProgram a Applet or Servlet?
    Opening a new window directly from server,probably not possible? From your question
    what I understand is, A html page is displayed
    and when u click on a link opens a new window.
    The parameters to the link should be posted using POST method, again
    it is not possible this can be done only by appending
    "?name1=value1&name2=value2..."to the link

  • Calling external URL with POST data

    Hi:
    In my action bean I have to call and external URL (outside my domain), and along with this URL 'POST' data. I have tried the following code:
    try {
    FacesContext lclFC = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getFacesContext();
    lclFC.getExternalContext().getRequestMap().put("x_loc_zip","94804");
    lclFC.getExternalContext().redirect("http://www.mysite.com/personals/search/search.html");
    } catch (IOException e) {
    throw new FacesException(e);
    finally {
    lclFC.responseComplete();
    This works fine in calling the other URL, but no data is sent thru the post protocol. I have no control to the site I am calling....
    I have also tried
    ExternalContext ectx = FacesContext.getInstance().getFacesContext().getExternalContext();
    HttpServletRequest request = (HttpServletRequest) ectx.getRequest();
    HttpServletResponse response = (HttpServletResponse) ectx.getResponse();
    RequestDispatcher dispatcher = request.getRequestDispatcher("http://www.mysite.com/personals/search/search.html");
                   dispatcher.forward(request, response);
    But this tends to put a "/" at the front of the called URL. Can someone please recoomed the coorect way to call a URL from yr action bean and sending it data thru post protocol. I also wish that this new URL should now be displayed within the browser. This is urgent, yr quick reply is appreciated

  • Link to external URL won't work...why?

    Should be the easiest thing to do, right?....
    I have an ordinary button labeled "Start"  In the button's properties:
    Action>On Success: Open URL or file
    http://www.dgs.ca.gov/orim/Programs/DDTOnlineTraining.aspx
    Attempts: Infinite
    It won't do anything when clicked.  No error, no nothing.  The URL is good and works in my browser.  I've tried the "Current, New and Parent" settings also, but no difference.  
    The published files are located on our LAN. Could that be an issue? 

    Just found something interesting.
    We have a link from our intranet to the CP page I made on our LAN.  The troublesome button link is on the CP page.
    When I launch the CP page from our intranet, the path is this:
    \\accounts\dars\ORPPA\Training and Program Development\Online Training\homepage.htm
    If I open that exact same file in the same location, but go directly to the LAN instead of thru the intranet the path is this:
    S:\ORPPA\Training and Program Development\Online Training\homepage.htm
    It's a network location that is mapped on my pc.
    My button link does not work when using the first method, but it DOES work when using the second method.  Makes no sense to me because once you're at the CP page, you are viewing  the same file in the same location, only the route that you took to get there is different.
    Ideas?

  • How to connect to external server using router from VLAN's

    Hi, I am newbie. I am trying to build network system in Packet Tracer.
    Now I have such network layout.
    I have different VLAN's Accounting and Sales. I have configured this using subinterface in router to allow computers from different vlan's communicate with each other. Everything works.
    Let's assume that there are next subnets and VLAN's. Acct. VLAN (2) (ip's 172.168.0.1-172.168.0.254/24) and Sales VLAN (4) (ip's 172.168.1.1-172.168.1.254/24).
    But I need to connect all this computers to the external server.  That has ip , for instance 192.168.20.13/24. Like this.
    I don't know hot to correctly configure router to make it possible for computers to connect to this server. I have connected switch to the another router interface. And than connected server to the switch and specified ip 192.168.20.13/24. Than I tried to set ip to the router interface from the same subnet like 192.168.20.22/24. So now router can communicate with server.
    But how to allow computers to communicate with the server. Please help. I am newbie.
    I would be grateful for any help.

    Hi Androgen,
    One question for you..How does the sales VLAN computers communicate with the accounting VLAN machines? It's through the inter-VLAN routing that you have already setup.
    Communicating to the external server is also similar to this.
    The computer's in the VLAN should be configured with the default gateway IP which is the the L3 sub-interface IP for that subnet.
    Also, the external server needs to have a default gateway to communicate with other remote subnet. The default gateway of that server would be 192.168.20.22 which is the L3 interface for your external subnet.

  • How to run a sql query from a button in apex 3.0

    Hi,
    I am brand new and went through/installed the obe project tracker. I have need to create a simple application that displays a result (2 fields, name and license number) based on two parameters (dob and login id) which all are stored in 1 table in the database. I could this very simply in VB or VB.net but have no idea how to do it in apex.
    Please provide guidance,
    Thank you,
    Tom

    Hi Tom,
    Sounds like a report region will satisfy your requirements.
    Create a new report region on one of your pages.
    Choose SQL Report and give the region a title.
    When you get to the "Enter SQL Query or PL/SQL function returning a SQL Query:" step, type:
    SELECT name, license_number
    FROM   <insert_your_table_name_here>
    WHERE  dob = :P<n>_dob
    AND    login_id = :P<n>loginid(replace <n> with the page number that the region is on and use your own table name).
    Don't try to run the page yet - it will give 'No data found'
    Now, go back to the Page Definition screen and add two items in the region you just created - call them P<n>dob and P<n>login_id
    Then, create a button in the same region (to be displayed amongst the region's items) - call it P<n>_GO and click 'Create' (take all the other defaults).
    Now you can run the page, put some values into the fields and click go.
    If you want to get fancier, you can change the text items to select lists etc. - let us know if you need help with that.
    Hope this helps,
    Bryan.

  • Is it possible to handle multiple events using Jscript for a button in Apex

    Hi,
    I've application wherein in one of the pages for a button, I need to trigger 2 events as: 1. redirect to a new page upon 'click' of the button
    2. display a set of values on 'mouse over' that button.
    I'm able to handle both separately, but not in one button. I would like to know if there is any limitation in Apex that we cant handle multiple events? Currently I've put a text item near the button, and called the Jscript for mouse over event in that as a temporary workaround. Can someone let me know if this is feasible? If not any other alternative to handle this?

    Hi Gsachidh,
    well interesting problem you're facinng. Indeed, it can't be specified using the 'Button Attributes' So we have to come up with an workaround.
    A quick en dirty solution would be to specify it with the 'Optional URL Redirect options'. In a normal button, with processing on same page, this would be 'no target'. but in case of additional things to be done this can be used, using an target URL. I used this many times, in example with popUp windows for refreshing the caller object when changes are made. In your case we have to add next to the href an onmouseover event. this can be done with;
    Target set to => URL
    URL - target => javascript:doSubmit('<button_name>');" onMouseOver="javascript:showTooltip('tooltip');"
    Here the " is the key, letting ApEx know the target (href) is doSubmit('<button_name>'), just like when no target would be specified and adding a new javascript event; onMouseOver.
    Although this is a dirty solution in my opinion, it is the best i could come up with. I have another idea in how to do this, that is by adding this event dynamically with javascript with an addEvent. But i don't have an example at the moment for this scenario.

  • Open external URL from Homepage Framework

    Hi,
    We are building our new ESS functionality with Homepage Framework and I need to create some links to external URL. I would like them to open in a different window with no portal header at all. They should appear as services listed in the menu area. While this seems easy, I had tried several things with no success.
    First, I created an URL iview in portal content. I marked the option "launch in external window" to Open in a separate window.
    I create a resource that pointed to this Iview, and linked resource with a "java webdynpro" service, service with subarea and subarea with area. The service link is displayed correctly but it is always opened in the portal page, not in a different one.  Have i forgotten any parameter that would make this work?
    A second approach was to create a resource that includes the URL and an associated service, marked as "Direct URL launched in separate window".
    This succeds in calling the URL in a differeny window but it adds some strange parameters at the end. So instead of calling http://www.google.com it calls  something like http://www.google.com?sap-ext-sid=2J*HeTVW7295w3QWBZhQow--

    While some pages can ignore those extra parameters, in other cases, this causes a "page not found" error.
    Any ideas on how to solve this problem?
    Many thanks in advance to all.

    Hi Daniel,
    Define Resource: you have to mention all the below details
    1. object name :http:// (url ).
