Static File in Exploded Application

I am trying to read a gif from an exploded application.
The exploded application is recognized ( I can view it's index.html page. ), but I can not view a gif that is part of the app.
Any suggestions? Is there some special configuration that is necessary for static files?

Static Files with same name. How does apex determine which files to serve?

Hello, I'm using apex 4.2.1.00.08 and I cannot figure out how apex manages the static files and cannot find any help in the docs (other that some high level UI description).
The application is serving some file and I cannot find which one it is in any easy way.
I have a workspace where there are several files that have the same name, and I cannot understand how apex figures out which one to serve, and also don't understand what is value of associating a file with an application.
There are files associated with application 0, which don't appear to show up in the "shared components", but can be seen as
SELECT *
FROM wwv_flow_files
WHERE flow_id = 0;
and can apparently only be deleted using "SQL Commands" inside apex.
the URL called is something like
wwv_flow_file_mgr.get_file?p_security_group_id=13498126233076320&p_fname=myfile.css
so apparently the only parameters that matter are the workspace and the file name. The associated application is irrelevant.
apparently files linked to flow_id 0 have precedence over all the other files ...
Thanks for clearing up a bit of "fog" on this issue.

Files associated with an application are referenced using *#APP_IMAGES#*
Files not associated with an application are referenced using *#WORKSPACE_IMAGES#*I referenced with #WORKSPACE_IMAGES#, but now I see that if I use #APP_IMAGES# the URL generated will also contain the application ID. This would help to discriminate between different files with the same name but linked to different applications ...

Do they take precedence over all other files with the same name?
Filename is unique for the given workspace[and application]I disagree. I have multiple files with the same name ... the root of this problem ...
so apparently the only parameters that matter are the workspace and the file name. The associated application is irrelevant.How is your static file referenced??
But not always, try associating an static file with and application and reference it using #APP_IMAGES# instead of #WORKSPACE_IMAGES#
See
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E37097_01/doc/doc.42/e35125/concept_sub.htm#BEIDCGAJ
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E37097_01/doc/doc.42/e35125/ui_file_manage.htm#HTMDB06011
Thanks, but the documentation doesn't give much details ... apparently files referenced with #WORKSPACE_IMAGES# can still resolve to files linked to specific applications ... I would like to understand the actual workflow for the various cases (file references with APP_IMAGES, referenced with WORKSPACE_IMAGES, file associated with the application, with another application, with no application, with application "0" ...).
Also, I find it somewhat misleading that you can have files associate with applications that don't exist anymore (e.g. have been deleted).

Static Files download

Hi All,
I have uploaded Javascript/CSS files as Static files in my application. Their are few changes required in these files. But when I downloading again these files, I am getting old files from the application. How could I resolve this problem to get the latest file from the application? Waiting for the response.
Thanks in advance.
Regards.
Ranjan

Hi all,
No response on this one since last September???
Having the same problem in Apex 3.0.
Had more problems in dealing with static files.
Static files are not included in an application export.
Separate export fails to import when exchanging them between workspaces.
Solved this by running the script in SQL Workshop.
We now have multiple instances of the same file for each application in the same workspace:
damen.js     application/octet-stream     1143     300     03/05/2008 11:13:33 AM     Download
damen.js     application/x-javascript     1143     311     03/20/2008 12:03:15 PM     Download
damen.js     application/x-javascript     1892     312     04/23/2008 02:10:54 PM     Download
damen.js     application/x-javascript     1143     310     03/20/2008 12:01:36 PM     DownloadJust uploaded a new version of the file, as can be seen with the time stamp.
The application is using the newly added Javascript function.
Though the file is less the 2k in size, it can not be opened in Apex.
However when downloading the file for more modifications the changes are 'lost'.
It seems that one of the other instances is returned in the download.
When hovering over the download icons, the URL's shown in the status bar are indeed all the same.
So, how to retrieve the last version of the file??
Thanks for your attention.

Collecting static files for django app

Hi there,
I'm trying desperately to run the command 'manage.py collectstatic' to generate static files for my django application as several items are missing in my project once deployed to azure.
Where on earth do I type this? I'm getting nothing but syntax errors.

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

Export Application and Static Files

Using Apex 3.2, I use the Export Application utility to move apps from one Environment to another.
In one of the Apps I have a Static file which is only for that specific App, It doesn't seem the import the static file for me.
I have to load thru shared components again in the other the environment.
I'm I missing a step with regards to static files or do I really need to do both steps?
Thanks

I can't tell for sure, but - when I tried to include "static files" (such as images?) into my export script (APEXExport, right?), I couldn't find a way to do that. Therefore, speaking from my own experience, that stupid way you described is the only way I know.
It would be nice if someone knows better; at least two of us would benefit from it.

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

Editing static files - changes not recognized by Application

I've uploaded a txt file into the static files area of my application, and I'm able to refer to the functions within it. They're working great. Now I'd like to be able to modify one of those functions.
Under Shared Components > Static Files, I click to open the existing static file. I make a change to the file and click Apply Changes. It's a very simple change: one of the functions returns hex code #FFFF00 (yellow), and I changed it to return #FF0000 (red).
I log in to the application, make a change to a field that should fire the color function. Yes indeed, that function DOES fire. Unfortunately, it produces the OLD result - I'm still seeing a yellow field.
However, if I delete the static file and upload it again, I get red as expected.
Am I doing something wrong, or missing a step to "activate" the changes that I make online?
Apex 4.1.1.00.21, on apex.oracle.com.

Excellent, Scott. Thank you for the corroboration. Your mention of the "run time user" led me to a partial workaround.
I think I've discovered that the problem is in the browser cache. Although it appears that the change to the static file is taking effect immediately as far as APEX is concerned, the browser is caching the information from the static file, and therefore any changes to that static file are being ignored. Simply closing the browser and coming back in is not enough. Nothing short of clearing the browser's cache of Temporary Internet Files seems to help.
I'm able to easily reproduce this with multilple tabs in a single browser session as well, without even involving a run-time user.
(1) open a browser (IE or Firefox) and connect to the APEX application. Note the current behavior of the affected object(s).
(2) open another browser tab pointing to Shared Components > Static Files
(3) apply a change to the static file;
(4) clear the browser cache as follows:
Internet Explorer: Delete Browsing History > Temporary Internet Files
Firefox: Clear Recent History > cache
(5) return to the first tab and refresh the browser page
Although I don't particularly like this "answer", it seems that the problem isn't with Apex, so I'll say that my question has been answered.
Helpful points for Scott.

LV2012 Web Services w/ NI Auth login not working w/ static files in Firefox 19

Hi!
I followed this procedure to password protect my web service and the static files.
http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/DF41D5DA8EEB4840862577D90058C208
When testing it out with my web service it seems to work fine on any web browser. http://localhost:8080/add/add/1/2 first will present a login. Once the user is logged in the page refreshes and the results of the operation are shown. http://localhost:8080/logout works as well.
I followed the procedure in the FAQ to include an index.html file.
http://www.ni.com/white-paper/7747/en#toc15
When I try to access the page (via http:localhost:8080/add/web/index.html) I'm greeted with the National Instruments login screen. I enter my credentials and in Chrome and Internet Explorer the screen refreshes and I see my html file. In Firefox it hangs for awhile on the authentication screen and then reloads back to the authenticaiton screen (as if the username and password did not take).
Attached are my files. If you want to try and recreate this please follow this procedure:
* Unzip the attached project to a folder
* Open the project in LabVIEW 2012
* Check the properties of the web service to ensure that the build paths are correct
* Follow the procedure above for setting up NI Auth on your web service and adding the "testpermission2" permission. Be sure to remove "Everyone" from that "testpermission2" or you will never see a login prompt.
* Build/Deploy the web service
* open http://localhost:8080/logout to ensure that you are not currently authenticated
* open http://localhost:8080/add/add/1/2 and login, observe behavior
* open http://localhost:8080/add/web/index.html you should still be logged in so you will see the "Hello World!" just fine
* open http://localhost:8080/logout to log back out
* open http://localhost:8080/add/web/index.html and see if you are able to login.
I've tried disabelling my plugins in Firefox and still have this problem. I'm really scratching my head on how to overcome this other than throwing away NI Auth and use something else. My web service is going to run off of a static front end driven by javascript and html. So the access point will be the html file. I need to have some username and password scheme worked out. I also need to be able to see what user is currently logged in with my Web Service VIs (does anyone know if that is possible with NI Auth)?
The other BIG issue I have with NI Auth is that it requires Silverlight. So much for mobile support, eh? Anyone know of a good plug-and-play alternative so I don't have to reinvent the wheel? I guess I could impliment some kind of token system on my web service side.
In the meantime, getting NI Auth to properly work with Firefox would help.
Thanks for your input,
-Nic

Disclaimer: I in no way mean to bash NI and I have used NI Auth myself in the past
If you are going to go to the trouble of abstracting NI Auth, I would recommend instead investing your time in your own authentication scheme (or implementing a standard scheme in LV).
NI Auth is great and works for low security applications where you just don't want people fooling around with your application who shouldn't be.
However, NI Auth is really not that secure. If I remember correctly, the username is transmitted in plain text and I don't think the encryption algorithm is that sophisticated. It is nice that it's already integrated into LV, but there really are very few features at this time.
If you want something to be really secure, you need to take measures beyond what NI Auth provides and before you go to the work of building abstraction on top of a basic and somewhat shaky protocol, I'd seriously consider implementing a more stable base.

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.

Loading an XML File in an Application!

Hy Guys!
I'm quite new on Java, so I'm missing some important knowledge, for example: how to load an XML file in an Application downloaded by Java WebStart:
In Details:
I'm downloading an Application which needs an XML File for setting up an Legend. As far as I know, the XMLParser needs a File as argument to parse. By Java WebStart/jnlp, I can't download the XML-File to the local machine, and trying to create an instance by the url (as String), doesn't work. So now I'm missing some information, and I hope you can help me:
Is there a possiblility to download the XML file via the application explicitly,
or is there a possibility to "convert" the ResourceInputStream into a "parseable" class?
I'm happy for every suggestion ..
some code:
public class EvalXML extends org.xml.sax.helpers.DefaultHandler {
/** Creates a new instance of EvalXML */
public EvalXML() {
* @param args the command line arguments
public static int main(String[] args) {
DefaultHandler handler = new EvalXML();
SAXParserFactory factory = SAXParserFactory.newInstance();
String url = new String();
//String url = EvalXML.class.getClassLoader().getResource("com/msgis/res/Lcc_Test_XML_Addressen.xml").getPath();
//String url= "msgis.jar!/com/msgis/res/Lcc_Test_XML_Addressen.xml";
if (args[0] + "empty" != "empty") url = args[0];
else{
System.out.println("no argument");
return 0;
System.out.println("PATH: \n" + url + "\n");
try{
SAXParser saxParser = factory.newSAXParser();
//saxParser.parse(new File(EvalXML.class.getClassLoader().getResource("com/msgis/res/Lcc_Test_XML_Addressen.xml").getPath()), handler);
saxParser.parse(new File(url), handler);
System.out.println("pascht");
catch(Throwable t){
System.out.println(t.getMessage());
return 1;

How to set Mime Type for Static Files

Hi All,
I am working on Apex 3.2.1.00.10.
When I am trying to upload (create) a ".js" file into Static Files under Shared Components of an application; it is saving as "*text/plain*" for Mime Type. But I need Mime type to be set as "*application/x-javascript*".
Please help me to change the Mime type of .js file.
Or is there any way to upload the file directly as "*application/x-javascript*" as its Mime Type.
Thanks in advance.
Umesh

In IIS v4 which comes with the Windows NT4 option pack, you right click the web page you are working with, select properties, then go to the HTTP Headers tab. At the bottom there's a button labelled File Types in the MIME Map section.
After you've clicked that, you can add the two mime types you need;
Associated Extension MIME Type
.jar application/x-java-jar-file
.jnlp application/x-java-jnlp-file
I'm assuming that it is the same in W2k/IIS5.

Not able to access files from Workspace Images and Static files

Hi,
We have just migrated our APEX Application from one server to another.
All the functionality is working fine except the images or files which we are uploading
in
Shared Components -> Static Files
Shared Components -> Images
We are uloading Images in Shared Components -> Images but those are not getting displayed there.
Similarly the files which we are uploaded in Shared Components -> Static Files are not accessible. If we
try to download using download icon its showing blank screen.
I am using some javascript files which i have uploaded into static files, but not able to refer them in page.
Please someone guide us how to resolve the above problem.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks & Regards

Hello Sanjay,
If you upload any static files such as IMAGES, FILES, or CSS you have to use the tags: #WORKSPACE_IMAGES# or #IMAGE_PREFIX# depending on your files location..
then try something like htp.p ('<img src="#IMAGE_PREFIX#fileName.gif" />');
And it should show the fileName.gif on your browser...
I am not sure if i remember correctly, you can reference files to a specific application or to the whole application, if I am not mistaken..Correct me..
