PL/SQL Procedure - security

Hi
I have follow this "guide" i have found in the forum to run PL/SQL Procedure when I press a button (see belov).
But what about the security?
If I have some hidden fields and the fields are used as parameter in the PL/SQL Procedure
like PL/SQL_Procedure(:hidden_field1_value,:hidden_field2_value)
And general is apex made so it is not possibel to save a page as html and edit som hidden values and save the page loccal and submit the page?

1) Create a region of some type or other, say HTML.
2) Create a button of type "Create a button in region position" in this region. Sounds like you've already done this and called it PROCESS.
3) Create a process of type PL/SQL, On Submit After Computations and Validations.
4) Call it "Execute BUILD_WORKDAYS" (or whatever you like)
5) The PL/SQL for the process is:
BUILD_WORKDAYS(:P14_PROCESS_YEAR);
6) Specify a success and failure message.
7) In the final step of the Create Page Process wizard, select your button from the "When button pressed" select list.
8) Then create an unconditional branch branching to the same page.

Jesper,
Authenticated users of your application can POST page requests containing anything they can devise. It is up to the developer to ensure that all program inputs meet security requirements.

  • How to secure a PL/SQL procedure that is called from the web browser

    If you have ever seen the sample document management application, and tried to download a file that was stored in the system, you are probably familiar with the apex_util.count_click URL that is used to download the file. If you copy that URL and paste it into a new browser, you will not be prompted to login to download the requested file. I'm using SSO with Apex as a partner application. How can I secure a pl/sql procedure like this to redirect to the login page before beginning the download?
    Thanks,
    Kris

    You can use the second method described here:
    http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=31517:15
    You would use an application process instead of pasting the procedure call in the browser. In the case I describe, you don't need to grant execute to public on the download procedure.

  • Obtaining HTML page by issuing a call from a PL/SQL procedure

    Is there any possibility to obtain HTMLDB -> HTML page from a user defined PL/SQL procedure ?
    For example I build an procedure which calls directly

    and i try to read the result from htp.showpage, but I get a html response page with a security error.
    Maybe is necessary to initialize other parameters?
    Any help?

    Scott, I have got two pages in an application one is login page the other is welcome page. my login page will be process by store proceduer to validate the user based on users table that I have created on my schema. If the user login with username and password, if they exist on this table I will like to send them to welcome page. but I get http://htmldb.oracle.com/pls/otn/wwv_flow.accept.
    The page cannot be found
    The page you are looking for might have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.

  • How to extract row_id from PL/SQL procedure and assign that to batch script

    Hello Team,
    I am stuck with a requirement, wherein I am running a batch script and within the batch script I am calling a procedure which inserts a record in a table (Including a column named l_id).
    I need this generated l_id to be passed on as a variable to batch script after PL/SQL procedure completion. So that I can refer this same l_id to update the same record in the table again in the same batch script in the later part.
    Looking for some suggestions!!!!
    Thanks

    Looking for some suggestions!!!!Don't do this using batch scripts. Batch scripts are very much inferior compared to stored PL/SQL code when it comes to managing databases processes and performing data crunching.
    Why can't this be written entirely in PL/SQL? And execution managed from either DBMS_JOB or DBMS_SCHEDULER ? And before answering that, consider the following:
    - what is the superior language, PL/SQL or shell script?
    - what provides tighter integration with the database, PL/SQL or shell script?
    - what provides proper security and access control, PL/SQL or shell script?
    As you can call SQL*Plus from a shell script to run PL/SQL, you can call a shell script from PL/SQL instead to run external commands and processes.
    Use the right tool for the job. And shell scripting is an excellent tool - but only when correctly used. Are you using it correctly? I strongly doubt that...

  • How to call a PL/SQL procedure from a Java class?

    Hi,
    I am new to the E-BusinessSuite and I want to develop a Portal with Java Portlets which display and write data from some E-Business databases (e.g. Customer Relationship Management or Human Resource). These data have been defined in the TCA (Trading Community Architecture) data model. I can access this data with PL/SQL API's. The next problem is how to get the data in the Java class. So, how do you call a PL/SQL procedure from a Java program?
    Can anyone let me know how to solve that problem?
    Thanks in advance,
    Chang Si Chou

    Have a look at this example:
    final ApplicationModule am = panelBinding.getApplicationModule();
    try
         final CallableStatement stmt = ((DBTransaction)am.getTransaction()).
                                                                                         createCallableStatement("{? = call some_pck.some_function(?, ?)}", 10);
         stmt.registerOutParameter(1, OracleTypes.VARCHAR);
         stmt.setInt(2, ((oracle.jbo.domain.Number)key.getAttribute(0)).intValue());
         stmt.setString(3, "Test");
         stmt.execute();
         stmt.close();

  • How to call a PL/SQL procedure from Portal

    Env.Info: Windows NT Server 4 (Service Pack 3) / Oracle 8i R3 EE / Oracle Portal 3.0 Production.
    I created a new schema "BISAPPS" and created a user with the same name. Ran provsyns.sql script to grant Portal API access. Created a new package under this new schema and compiled it against the database. After that I registered the schema as a portal provider. There were no errors.
    Now I logged into Portal using the account PORTAL30. Refreshed the portlet repository and the new portlets appeared. I added the new portlet to the page. It is displayed successfully.
    New portlet allows the user to enter a bug-number and lets the user to either view or edit. If the user clicks on the button "Edit", it opens a new window and displays the contents from BugDB application. But if the user clicks on "Show", it should display the output generated by a PL/SQL procedure (Owned by the above New Schema - BISAPPS) in a separate window. But instead it is displaying the following error in the separate window:
    bisapps_pkg.buginfo: PROCEDURE DOESN'T EXIST.
    DAD name: PORTAL30
    PROCEDURE : bisapps_pkg.buginfo
    URL : http://host_name:80/pls/portal30/bisapps_pkg.buginfo
    And list of environment variables ....
    Can anyone help me? How can I call a PL/SQL procedure when the button is clicked? Thanks in advance.

    You must grant EXECUTE privilege on your procedure to the PORTAL30_PUBLIC user. If the error still persists, create a PUBLIC synonym for your procedure.

  • How to send a java array to a pl/sql procedure

    Hi,
    This is similar to a post about 6 months ago on retrieving pl/sql tables from a java application but I can't seem to figure out how to use what I learned there to solve this.
    In a java application I have a Long[] array, and in the database I have a pl/sql procedure which takes a numeric in parameter. I currently loop through the array in my java application and call the procedure multiple times. What I'd prefer to do is to be able to pass the entire array to a new procedure which performs the looping internally.

    1- Create a hidden item P27_USER_ID on page 27
    2- Change your code :
    SELECT ID, NAME, akt,
           CASE
              WHEN akt IS NULL
                 THEN    '< a href="f?p=&APP_ID.:27:&SESSION.:START_PROCESS:NO::P27_USER_ID:'

           -- refer to f?p=App:Page:Session:Request:Debug:ClearCache:itemNames:itemValues:PrinterFriendly
           END choice
      FROM users;
       And then
    DECLARE
       v_user_id   NUMBER (10);
    BEGIN
       --I want to read this value from the url
       IF :request = 'START_PROCESS'
       THEN

    This error message is very similiar to the message that Shanthir posted on Jan, 21. I did run the dbmslob.sql, but it doesn't help. Anybody has ideas how to solve it?
    I used the PL/SQL web toolkit provided by OAS4.0.8.1. I believe oracle web agent is replaced by this toolkit.

    Hi,
    Glad that somebody else too got this problem. Well, as I had mentioned in my previous posting too, I think there are some procedures in the package, dbms_lob, like the writeappend, createtemporary etc.. which is not found in my dbms_lob.sql file, I am using 8.0.5, but I found these procedures in the 8i, I think it is becos of that.
    By the way if anybody got this solution and got any workaround, please help me too.
    I am still waiting for the solution to that.

  • How to pass multiple parameters while calling a pl/sql procedure based serv

    Thanks for yr help!

    Change the payload of the request 'Process WSDL' message type. Change the element of the payload for the RequestMessage to be 'InputParameters' from the XSD generated by the DB Adapter wizard.
    Edit the payload (Element) - Choose 'Project Schema Files'. Select 'InputParameters' from the XSD.
    You can also change the ResponseMessage by doing the same thing, except that you select 'OutputParameters' from the XSD.
