3.7 Understanding URL Syntax

Oracle Application Express applications support two types of URL syntax: Friendly URL Syntax and f?p Syntax.

Tip:

Applications created using Oracle Application Express release 20.1 or later use Friendly URL Syntax. You can change existing applications to use Friendly URLs by editing the Friendly URLs attribute in the application Definition. See "Enabling or Disabling Friendly URL Syntax."

• Understanding Friendly URL Syntax
  Friendly URL Syntax creates a URL structure that identifies the address of Oracle Application Express, the application, the page, and uses standard web parameter syntax.
• Understanding f?p URL Syntax
  f?p URL Syntax is a legacy syntax that creates a unique URL structure that identifies the address of Oracle Application Express, the application ID, page number, and session ID.
• Hiding the Session ID on Public Pages
  Hide the session ID in a URL by making a page public.
