New Oracle REST Data Services (formerly known as Oracle APEX Listener)

Oracle REST Data Services

Oracle REST Data Services (formerly known as Oracle APEX Listener) provides several key capabilities for the Oracle Database. REST Data Services accepts RESTful Web Service call URIs and directs them to the appropriate SQL statement or PL/SQL block. REST Data Services marshals data returned from SQL statements into JSON or .csv format and also redirects calls to Application Express applications to the Application Express run-time engine.

Oracle REST Data Services is a J2EE-based alternative for Oracle HTTP Server (OHS) and mod_plsql. The J2EE implementation offers increased functionality including a web based configuration, enhanced security, and file caching. REST Data Services also provides flexibility by supporting deployments using Oracle Web Logic Server (WLS), Oracle Glassfish Server and Apache Tomcat.

We can configure your Oracle Database with the following web servers.

• WebLogic Server
• GlassFish
• Apache(OHS)

Oracle forms converter to Apex

Oracle Application Express Oracle Forms Conversion Project 

Oracle Application Express, release 3.2 and above, enables you to load your Oracle Forms source into an Oracle Application Express project and generate an initial APEX application. The conversion automatically converts most user interface components but does not convert business logic implemented within triggers, program units, or PL/SQL libraries. Loading Oracle Forms definitions into the Oracle Application Express project provides analysis and tracking of the conversion project. Once the initial design has been generated, the rapid application development capabilities inherent within Oracle Application Express can be utilized to enhance and expand the generated application. Post-generation the business logic within Oracle Forms can be re-implemented and new screens which take advantage of Web 2.0 capabilities such as interactive reports and flash charts can be added using the wizards built into the Oracle Application Express builder. 

Oracle Application Express for Oracle Forms Developers Feature Oracle Forms Application Express Description 4GL Declarative Yes Yes Oracle Forms renders applications using metadata stored in an .fmx file. Application Express renders applications using metadata stored in an Oracle database. 4GL Languages SQL and PL/SQL SQL and PL/SQL Oracle Forms runs client-side PL/SQL. Application Express uses server-side PL/SQL. User Interface Java HTML Oracle Forms is accessed using a web browser and its user interface is rendered using a JVM. Application Express is also invoked from a Web browser but its user interface is HTML and JavaScript. Page Layout Windows / Canvases Page / Regions Oracle Forms uses exact positioning and Application Express uses HTML-relative positioning. Client-side Field Control Form triggers Javascript and AJAX Oracle Forms provides robust field-level validation and event processing. Application Express supports declarative page-level validation and event processing. Programmatic field-level validation and event processing requires Javascript and AJAX. Web Service Support Yes Yes Both Oracle Forms and Application Express support the calling of Web Services, for example BPEL. Charting BI Beans Flash Charts Oracle Forms uses BI Beans as its integrated charting engine. Application Express uses Flash Charts as its integrated charting engine. Locking Pessimistic, Optimistic, Custom Optimistic, Custom Oracle Forms supports a range of locking models with pessimistic as the default. Due to its asynchronous architecture, Application Express uses an optimistic locking model. Database Connections Synchronous Asynchronous Oracle Forms uses synchronous connections to allow transactions to span multiple screen interactions. Application Express does not transparently allow transactions to span page views. Application Express programmatically supports transactions spanning page views using collections. Concurrent User Support Database connectivity maintained by user session Database connectivity only maintained for the processing of requests Each connected user in Oracle Forms maintains a synchronous connection to the Oracle database. Application Express users are asynchronously connected to the Oracle database. Architecture 3 Tier 2 Tier With Oracle Forms, Application logic is processed in the Oracle database, a mid-tier Forms Server, or in the rich client. With Application Express, PL/SQL application logic is processed within the Oracle database. Client-side logic is implemented using JavaScript. HTTP communications are facilitated using Apache and Mod/PLSQL. Oracle Application Express Application Migration Workshop (Application Migrations) enables you to  migrate a Microsoft Access application or convert an Oracle Forms application to an  Oracle Application Express application.

Integrating Oracle Application Express with Oracle Access Manager 11g

Prerequisites 
The prerequisites for the solution given in this paper are:
• Oracle Database 10.2.0.3 or above
• Oracle Application Express 4.1.1 or above.
• Oracle Access Manager 11g

Oracle Forms Services applications can be executed in a Single Sign-on environment using Oracle Access Manager 11g (OAM) and Oracle Internet Directory (OID) to eliminate the need for additional or different logins to access many applications during the same user session.

Oracle Forms Services applications in Oracle FMW 11g Release 2 can be protected by one of the following authentication servers:

• Oracle Access Manager (OAM) 11g
• Oracle Single Sign-On Server (OSSO) 10g

Feature	Benefit
Comprehensive Web Access Management, Web Single Sign-On, Identity Propagation, and Federation	Provides centralized, policy-based authentication and single sign-on for Web applications, Web services, and data and cloud services Delivers seamless single sign-on to enterprise resources from any device including desktops, laptops, and mobile devices Enables on-boarding of partners and service providers faster using industry security standards Provides standards-based secure propagation of identity across applications and Web services
Mobile and Social Sign-On	Delivers seamless single sign-on across native and Web applications on mobile devices Enables low-value enterprise and consumer-facing applications to consume identities from social networks and other third-party identity providers using popular user-centric identity standards
Real-time External Authorization	Provides real-time external authorization for applications, middleware, and databases with enterprise-class scalability and granular security Provides interoperability with a wide spectrum of modern industry authorization standards (XACML, RBAC, ABAC) for enhanced security, greater choice and flexibility Delivers out-of-the-box integration with a variety of native, custom, and third-party applications, application servers, data persistence frameworks, directory servers, portals and content management systems, and XML gateways
Adaptive Access and Fraud Detection	Provides a unique combination of knowledge-based authentication with registration, answer, and fuzzy logic for the Oracle Identity and Access Management Suite Enables you to add sophisticated security to basic authentication flows in a few easy steps Delivers real-time fraud detection and proactively prevents fraud
