I already raised that issue in this  <a href=\"http:\/\/degenio.com\/blog\/2007\/02\/oracle-apex-htmldb-22\/\">post<\/a> a while back. In essence, I was concerned that in order to mimic a trigger behavior in APEX, you had to resort to javascript which a number of people are not comfortable with. Now, with the wizard in the 4.0 release, you should be able to implement some very interesting features in APEX.<\/p>\n<p>As far as plugins are concerned, it is the way to go if APEX is to grow. However, I raised an issue dealing with the fact that most companies won&#8217;t use a plugin unless it is certified free from trojan, virues etc. The reason is that APEX is deployed in the database and as such a well (bad usage) crafted plugin would open the data in the DB to external mining. In this case, I think a plugin store similar to Apple store or Google market should be the way to go. Who is going or willing to manage it ?<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, excellent presentations by the team behind sie solutions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There were very good news yesterday at the APEX presentation made by Oracle and the team behind sie-solutions (website).
