I'm glad the communty project is working out so well, though I haven't participated as much as I'd have liked; as one of the troublemakers who proposed it, I really should.<BR/><BR/>Some of us still as using WSG; primarily because nothing elese is available for repository-based rapid application development for high-perfomance web applications. I am actually finding more ad mre references to it in the last six months, rather thatn fewer and fewer. Maybe Oralce wil wise up and do somethig to keep it advancing. I'd love to have the generator reworked to produce APEX content (I know, Sue; the maintenance nightmare).Mike Ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09373328014485206547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23290357.post-1150114831439243502006-06-12T12:20:00.000+00:002006-06-12T12:20:00.000+00:00Hi Jens, I remember the DADs and OWS days too. Yo...Hi Jens, <BR/><BR/>I remember the DADs and OWS days too. You might be interested to know that Oracle worked with a group of developers from ODTUG on what they called a community project. The ODTUG crowd they collaborated with are all experienced WSGers and they had wanted to add functionality to the product. I believe this first attempt at community work with Designer was very succeessful. So the ODTUG WSG developers decided on and wrote the new functionality and it was rolled into Designer. You might want to check out the Designer forum on OTN to see more.<BR/><BR/>As for SQL Developer and JDeveloper - that's the plan - to roll the SQL Developer features back into JDeveloper. The teams working on SQL Developer and JDeveloper, on the database side, collaborate very closely.<BR/><BR/>SueSuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05034153756804835865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23290357.post-1150112572918789682006-06-12T11:42:00.000+00:002006-06-12T11:42:00.000+00:00Sue,we are still using mod_plsql, as we have been ...Sue,<BR/>we are still using mod_plsql, as we have been for more than 8 years (well it wasn't mod_plsql back thenin the OWS-days, but same consept...)<BR/>Most our applications are 100% WSG generated, but we have started writing more and more by hand, to get richer user interfaces than we have managed to make in Designer. <BR/>For security, we use Oracle Single SignOn, utilising our own security API based on OID. <BR/>I find it a pity that Oracle is giving up on Designer (at least the WSG). I am having problems finding a faster way of dynamically build data-sentric web-pages. Mix this with dynamically built javascript code, and you have a graphical UI not standing back from client/server applications. Of course, what this approach lacks is a Graphical development IDE. The good thing: Developers learn to write efficient HTML and Javascript.<BR/><BR/>Regards,<BR/>Jens Jessen<BR/>Halliburton Norway<BR/><BR/>PS. Our developers are using the SQL Developer in combination with Jdeveloper, and find it a useful combination. <BR/>Hope you manage to merge the SQL Developer functionality into Jdeveloper.....<BR/>(Oh, yes: We do use Java for a few things as well, as this gives us a bridge between the database and filesystems...)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23290357.post-1149981326653054542006-06-10T23:15:00.000+00:002006-06-10T23:15:00.000+00:00Hi Sue,I went on using mod_owa, and the solution i...Hi Sue,<BR/><BR/>I went on using mod_owa, and the solution is now deployed on my customer's servers. It's an apache 1.3.34, with mod_ssl, mod_owa and mod_gzip.<BR/><BR/>Doug McMahon patched mod_owa, and it now supports the 2-parameter style for variable parameterlists. This means you shouldn't need to modify the PL/SQL signatures: stuff calling upon mod_plsql urls are completely and correctly understood by mod_owa.<BR/><BR/>I didn't try the other option - set apache up as a proxy for the OracleXE http listener. However, there seem to be quite a few people happy with that. Check it out on the OracleXE forum.<BR/><BR/>kind regards,<BR/><BR/>Roland (http://rpbouman.blogspot.com/)rpboumanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13365137747952711328noreply@blogger.com
