Schemas and workspaces in Apex 3.0

Question

Hi Friends
We are quite new to HTML DB. We have few queries pertaining to schemas and workspaces.
We are developing an application in workspaces X which is associated with database user/schema X. We need to give this application for testing to the users. For that we need to have different set of environment so that it does not hamper our development.
So what should be our plan of action.?
Currently we have created a different database user/schema in the same database and associated a different workspace Y to it. But we are facing import/export issues across the workspaces. We have already raised this issue in the forum.
Can we have same workspace associated with 2 different database schemas/users? If yes, then how does HTML DB handle the same?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Friends,
As per Scott's suggestion, we attached our workspace X to 2 schemas A and B. Then we exported the app say 555(here the schema is A) and imported it using the parsing schema B in new application id say 500. But now the real problem starts. If we have added some new functionality in a page in our application 555 and now only that page we want to export and import it in application 500, then it gives error as "This page was exported from a different application or from an application in different workspace. Page cannot be installed in this application." So in the sql file that we exported, we changed few things as follows(marked in bold)
--application/set_environment
prompt APPLICATION 500 - Load_Factor_System
-- Application Export:
-- Application: 500
-- Name: Load_Factor_System
-- Date and Time: 12:01 Monday May 21, 2007
-- Exported By: ADMIN
-- Flashback: 0
-- Export Type: Page Export
-- Version: 3.0.0.00.20
-- SET APPLICATION ID
wwv_flow.g_flow_id := 500;
wwv_flow_api.g_id_offset := 0;
After we changed the export file as above and then tried to import it in application 500 it gives error as "ORA-20001: GET_BLOCK Error. ORA-20001: Execution of the statement was unsuccessful. ORA-00001: unique constraint (FLOWS_030000.WWV_FLOW_PAGE_PLUGS_PK) violated <pre>declare s varchar2(32767) := null; l_clob clob; l_length number := 1; begin s := null; wwv_flow_api.create_page_plug ( p_id=&gt; 6303905775095939 + wwv_flow_api.g_id_offset, p_flow_id=&gt; wwv_flow.g_flow_id, p_page_id=&gt; 1020, p_plug_name=&gt; 'User Master', p_region_name=&gt;'', p_plug_template="
Can anybody please help us with this issue? The other solution for this is to delete the complete application 500 and then freshly install the application. But we do not want this since any change in few pages should not result in deletion of complete application.
Also Scott, thanks a lot for your detailed solution as to how to put an example on apex.oracle.com. We shall definitely put an example and post it.
