Page Alias ignored in branch to url

Apex 4.1
Oracle 10Gex
Theme: BlueGray13
I am trying to replace all app and page numbers with alias so that the url doesn't reflect numeric detail.
No problem in using app alias, however several areas do require the page number and won't accept an alias. (Tabs for one...)
Specific issue is a branch withing the same app, after processing.
Originally was a branch to a page in the same app. Passing variables and values in the URL.
Changed the branch to a branch to URL; including the variables and values.
First use, functionally this worked - data gets saved, etc.
However, even though the branch does redirect to the correct page, the page number is still reflected in the url.
When going back into the branch, you see that the branch has reverted back to a 'branch to page'.... What happened?
Does the Branch to URL only work from app to app - never WITHIN an app?
Thanks,
Rich

Figured it out.
In order to eliminate the page number and app number in a 'redirect to URL' , don't keep the '&APP_ID.' or page number -
You can either use '&APP_ALIAS'. or the alias you set on the page definition... and for the page number use the alias set on the page definition.
Going back and re-editing the branch (or redirect after action) - it no longer shows that it reverted to 'Redirect to Page'... and keeps the redirect as type URL - just as you manually created it.
So live and learn.

URL checksum when using page alias

Hello to all.
I'm using Apex v4.1.1.00.23, and I'm having a problem when using page aliases in URLs.
When creating a list with links to Apex pages, if I use a page alias, then no checksum is generated. I tried this using the "classic" way to create list entries (i.e. "Create list entry" and entering desired values in the "Target" region), and also using a dynamic list and an SQL query.
For example:
SELECT 1
,'First page'
,apex_util.prepare_url( 'f?p=&APP_ALIAS.:1:&APP_SESSION.::NO:1::', p_checksum_type => 'SESSION')
FROM DUAL
UNION ALL
SELECT 1
,'Second page'
,apex_util.prepare_url( 'f?p=&APP_ALIAS.:second_page:&APP_SESSION.::NO:second_page::', p_checksum_type => 'SESSION')
FROM DUAL
For the second link, I always get "Session State Protection Violation", but the first one works fine.
Both pages have the "Page Access Protection" set to "Arguments Must Have Checksum".
I tried to set up an example on apex.oracle.com, but it seems that in v4.2 this problem is fixed :)
So, is there any way to use page aliases while session state protection is active?
Thank you for any help that may come by,
best regards.

Alias for Sender SOAP Adapter URL

When I create a web service for an o/b interface using the wizard, I need to give the URL of the pattern
http://<host:<port>/XISOAPAdapter/MessageServlet?channel=<party>:<service>:<channel>
Looking at the URL, I think there is servlet that is processing the incoming SOAP messages based on the parameter (channel) and adding the SOAP Header for Sender Service, Sender Interface from that channel before sending it to IE.
Is there anyway to create aliases for these URLs so that I can have distinct URL for each interface eg. http://<host:<port>/DeliveryConfirmation, http://<host:<port>/InvoiceCheck etc?
I need to publish web services in custom-built UDDI tool which expects the URLs to be unique. (This uniqueness should not based on the parameter 'channel'). UDDI tool expects the part of the URL before '?' to be unique, which is not in my case. So, I'm thinking of aliases.
Did anyone create Alias for sender SOAP adapter URL?
I appreciate your inputs on this.
thx
praveen

Stefan,
Creating an alias like (http://<host:<port>/DeliveryConfirmation) for each web service makes the end Point URL (http://<host:<port>/DeliveryConfirmation?channel=<party>:<service>:<channel>) unique and my custom-built UDDI server would allow it.
In this case, all the aliases would be for the same context path '/XISOAPAdapter/MessageServlet', right?
I see the following on the help page.
Prerequisites
You must first have the J2EE Web applications deployed so that their aliases are added to the list of available application aliases. Then you can decide which one to remove from it.
Do I need to deploy any J2EE Web Application here?
I'm thinking that since 'XISOAPAdapter/MessageServlet' is already deployed, I just have to create a various aliases for it.
I highly appreciate your inputs.
thx
praveen

Error ERR-1412 Unable to resolve page alias

hi,
i'm able to get the page by specifying the application id. but unable to get it by using the page alias(ie.,application name). What could be the problem....

Please show details like the URL you are using and all relevant details about your application and page. The page alias is not the same as the application name. Applications have both a name and an alias as does a page. You might be using the application name or the application alias instead of the page alias.

Page Alias

Several best practice articles refer to using page aliases rather than page numbers for navigation. Obviously, using mnemonic names rather than arbitrary page numbers makes creating branches easier since the names are easier to remember. The articles also mention preserving navigation integrity in case the pages in the application are renumbered (although I don't know how or why you would do this). However there seem to be several places in APEX where page aliases cannot be used (e.g. clear cache in branches, current for pages in tabs) and page numbers must be used instead. Doesn't this negate the renumbering argument and limit the usefulness of the page aliases. If you are constructing a branch that needs to clear the cache on the target page you still need to know the page number of the target. Furthermore if you use the page alias for the target and the page number for the clear cache there is a greater possibility that you could make an error and they would not be in sync. It seems that you should be able to use page aliasies anywhere you use page numbers. Am I missing something?

I've wondered the same thing. I think page aliases should be allowable (and encouraged) anywhere a page ID is accepted.

Branch to URL identify session and record ID

Hi, I am trying to redirect page to itself after submission. I have created a branch which is conditional (request = UPDATE).
How so I identify a session ID and concatenate it with the URL?
Here is my URL "http://server:8081/apex/f?p=101:9:" + SESSION + "::NO::P9_RECORD_ID: " + :P9_RECORD_ID.
If you know a better way to redirect page to itself after submission please let me know.
Thanks
Robert

Robert,
No, not quite. If you don't set any page values in your branch, the page will load with whatever "default" values it has set up. If your page items are set to persist based on session state, then they'll stay the same...but most of the time, your items will be set to refresh themselves from the database. So you'll want to set the page_record_id field appropriately (I'm assuming that's the field that drives the data retrieval).
Does that help?

I want to create home page for my application with short URL

I want to create home page for my application with short URL
as when I want user to use my application user must go to URL like this
http://127.0.0.1:7101/My-Project/faces/app/empModule/allEmployees/viewMyEmployees.jspxI want the user to use short URL , How can I use shorter URL not all this one.
I want shorter URL for my application not to write full path .
thanks in advance.
Edited by: user611775 on Oct 31, 2010 10:21 PM

Well,
it's up to you. The first part (Mcit-Project-ViewController-context-root) is the context root which you define in the view controller project. 'faces' is the name the servlet filter reacts on. You can't omit it but shorten it in web.xml. The rest is your directory structure. I'm not sure how to shorten this other as to move the jspx files back into the web root folder.
By the way an ADF faces app never uses the .jspx at the end of the url. If you specify '.jspx', you only render the page but don't start the work flow.

"Message from Webpage (error) There was an error in the browser while setting properties into the page HTML, possibly due to invalid URLs or other values. Please try again or use different property values."

I created a site column at the root of my site and I have publishing turned on. I selected the Hyperlink with formatting and constraints for publishing.
I went to my subsite and added the column. The request was to have "Open in new tab" for their hyperlinks. I was able to get the column to be added and yesterday we added items without a problem.
The problem arose when, today, a user told me that he could not edit the hyperlink. He has modify / delete permissions on this list.
He would edit the item, in a custom list, and click on the address "click to add a new hyperlink" and then he would get the error below after succesfully putting in the Selected URL (http://www.xxxxxx.com), Open
Link in New Window checkbox, the Display Text, and Tooltip:
"Message from Webpage There was an error in the browser while setting properties into the page HTML, possibly due to invalid URLs or other values. Please try again or use different property values."
We are on IE 9.0.8.1112 x86, Windows 7 SP1 Enterprise Edition x64
The farm is running SharePoint 2010 SP2 Enterprise Edition August 2013 CU Mark 2, 14.0.7106.5002
and I saw in another post, below with someone who had a similar problem and the IISreset fixed it, as did this problem. I wonder if this is resolved in the latest updated CU of SharePoint, the April 2014 CU?
Summary from this link below: Comment out, below, in AssetPickers.js
//callbackThis.VerifyAnchorElement(HtmlElement, Config);
perform IISReset
This is referenced in the item below:

TThThis is possibly the same information that I saw, possibly from the above link as reference.
http://seanshares.com/post/69022029652/having-problems-with-sharepoint-publishing-links-after
Again, if I update my SharePoint 2010 farm to April 2014 CU is this going to resolve the issue I have?
I don't mind changing the JS file, however I'd like to know / see if there is anything official regarding this instead of my having to change files.
Thank you!

We had the same issue after applying the SP2 & August CU. we open the case with MSFT and get the same resolution as you mentioned.
I blog about this issue and having the office reference.
Later MSFT release the Hotfix for this on December 10, 2013 which i am 100% positive should be part of future CUs.
So if you apply the April CU then you will be fine.

I use Yahoo as my home page. As soon as I left it, the screen was grabbed by something that took it to a page including "adap.tv" in the URL. Help!

I use current version of Firefox on a Windows XP desktop machine. I normally use Yahoo as my home page and Firefox as my browser. Starting a few weeks ago, when I clicked on a link on the main Yahoo page, I would get about one second of whatever it was I wanted to read or see then another screen that included "adap.tv" in the very long URL would replace it. Starting yesterday, this program began to override the security settings in Firefox that told it to NOT change the home page and I now get about one second of Yahoo before it switches to a page with "adap.tv" in the "URL". I have reloaded Firefox without success.

Try to reset your Firefox

Possible? Recreate my original Homepage pages into iWeb but retain old URL?

I have Tiger in the box and still have to install it.
I just bought iLife '06 today and will install it after installing Tiger.
I already have a .Mac homepage up — created with Homepage Manager.
I am thinking now that I would like to recreate that original homepage but do it with iWeb.
How do I end up with my original homepage pages all re-done into iWeb templates but retain my original .Mac homepage URL? All my friends know that URL. Could someone please explain?
— Lorna in Southern California

Well really it's not OR but AND. If you want to do away with your old >homepage-style pages and send people to your iWeb pages via the old URL, >then you must put the redirect on the old pages.
Or you could leave the old pages up but add a link that says "Here's my new homepage..." or something like that...
Hi... I see you live in Florida — and hope you are not in any of the traditional hurricane paths!
I think that I want to start copying/recreating my Homepage pages into iWeb pages and accept that I will have a new URL someday in the near future (because I intend to do the copying as fast as I can and not stop). I can send a notice out and change a few other things. However, I have questions for that interim time when I am working on the iWeb pages but not finished with them.
While I am working on iWeb pages, I am given a new URL, right? And thus, I would at that point have two URLs with .Mac. Is that possible? As I see it, the first URL would be the one I have now, which is the address of my present .Mac Homepage Manager Homepage. And the second URL, wouldn't it be the URL of the iWeb pages? That's possible???
I understand the concept of having a redirect page from my original Homepage ultimatly to the new iWeb page, but is it an automatic redirect or one which the viewer can activate if he wants to? I would not want a redirect page to quickly, blindly switch a visitor from the old Homepage to the new iWeb pages which are incomplete.
I don't understand the mechanics of URLs. I don't know what a Redirect Page looks like or how it works and I don't see how I could be working on my new iWeb pages with its new iWeb URL, all the while leaving my present Homepage alone, viewable by visitors with ITS OWN URL.
[several minutes passed]
And now that I have sat here and thought for several minutes, it seems that the easiest thing to do would be to have no redirect page for a while. All that I ask in that case is: Is it possible to do that? Is it possible to have my old/present Homepage viewable while I am working on my iWeb pages?
I think I just solved one of my questions all by myself. If I begin to work on iWeb I will be given a new URL — an iWeb URL. Thus technically, when I Edit and Publish in iWeb, technically, people could view those pages, but chances are they will not if I don't announce the new iWeb URL to them. OK. I see......
I am asking all of this now because I am the type that needs to envision and understand a project from start to finish before I start. I do not like surprises — and cyber surprises have the ability to unsettle me.
Could someone please realign my erratic thoughts? Are my goals possible? Can I have my present .Mac Homepage Manager Homepage viewable and visitable while working away on copying them to my new iWeb site? (I bought iLife '06 yesterday and will install it and Tiger today. Tiger first and iWeb'06 second, as instructed.)

Page moves offscreen to fit long URLs.

When Mouse-over extra long URLs web page moves offscreen to fit. Below is a search result, mouse-over Barracuda Email Archiver.
[http://www.google.com/webhp?hl=en#hl=en&sugexp=ldymls&pq=message%20board%20archives&xhr=t&q=Archive+Message+Board&cp=8&pf=p&sclient=psy&site=webhp&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=Archive+Message+Board+&pbx=1&bav=on.2,or.&fp=d39fe4b59c3fd5aa Mouse-over Barracuda Email Archiver]

This doesn't work. If I use the URL you suggest I
get the first web page I created. The long URL gets
to the correct web page.
As mentioned by the other poster there are several options. One is you could try resending your old url with brackets around it. This might prevent the receivers from botching the copy/paste if it is getting split by their mail program. Also it can be shorter.
<http://web.mac.com/jhauser/iWeb/Slide%20show%20Santa%20Barbara>
You might want to shorten the page name to sssb or something. You don't seem to have it linked to anything, so it's not appearing in the navigation bar and doesn't matter. You could include it in the navigation bar of your main site so it is just a mouse click away from the url that ends in /iWeb. You could move it under a second site, with a short name, like 2, and then you can use the url ending in /iWeb/2.

Page Alias reference

Is there a way to retrieve/reference the page alias of a page.
It would be nice to to have a substitution variable like APP_PAGE_ALIAS.

Hi there
I'm not sure if I'm having the same problem or if mine is more easily solved.
What I wanted to do was to have a report template with the rows changing color as the mouse went over them and then showing the clicked row in a different color. I found an example that did just that and it worked really well until I wanted to use this report template on a different page. Then I found out that the Column Template had to be hardcoded in the template with the name of a particular item, like so:
Column Template 1
<td style.....
Column Template Condition
Use based on PL/SQL Expression
'#ROW_ID#' = :P10_ROW_ID
I have loads and loads of clickable reports and I wanted to have them all like the one on page 10 but I don't want to make one report template for each page. Or is that the only possible way? Basically what I would need would be to define the Column Template 1 and it's condition in the report itself and not the template, with maybe the definition in the report overriding the template if present. I guess it wouldn't help if I had access to the page number in the Column Template condition here...
Thanks,
Gísli
