3.6 Viewing Session State

View the Session page by clicking Session on the Runtime Developer toolbar.

The Session page provides valuable information about the session in which the application is currently running. Must of the behavior of an Oracle Application Express application is driven by values in session state. For example, a button may display conditionally based on the value of an item session state. This section describes how to view session state for a page.

To view the Session page:

1. Run the application as a developer.
2. Locate the Runtime Developer toolbar. By default, the Runtime Developer toolbar displays at the bottom of the page.
