39.96 REDIRECT_URL Procedure

This procedure calls owa_util.redirect_url to tell the browser to redirect to a new URL. Afterwards, it automatically calls apex_application.stop_apex_engine to abort further processing of the Application Express application.

Syntax

APEX_UTIL.REDIRECT_URL (
    p_url              IN VARCHAR2,
    p_reset_htp_buffer IN BOOLEAN DEFAULT TRUE );

Parameters

Table 39-80 REDIRECT_URL Parameters

Parameter	Description
p_url	The URL the browser requests.
p_reset_htp_buffer	Set to TRUE to reset the HTP buffer to make sure the browser understands the redirect to the new URL and is not confused by data that is already written to the HTP buffer. Set to FALSE if the application has it's own cookie to use in the response.

Example

The following example tells the browser to redirect to http://www.oracle.com and immediately stops further processing.

apex_util.redirect_url (
    p_url => 'http://www.oracle.com/' );
