AJAX Callback - Add Web Service Support

matt.nolan Public · Nov 3 2015

It would be really great if you could support webservice requests in AJAX Callbacks. The APEX builder allows you to define many different process types under here but currently only executes PLSQL processes.

In APEX Debug output the following message is displayed: “process does not contain pl/sql code”

The following APEX forum thread also asked about the same capability: https://community.oracle.com/thread/3781895?start=0&tstart=0

I think many developers would benefit from being able to make the webservice calls via AJAX without having to resort to writing PLSQL which is time consuming and requires more maintenance.

We reviewed this idea carefully, and while it was interesting, we concluded that due to all the internal implications we need to take into account, it is unlikely to make its way into APEX.

    Another use case - Upon successful execution of an interactive grid save, I would like to invoke a REST API from the browser context and supply some data as a GET/POST payload. Yes, I can wire this up with custom code using jQuery $.ajax but low code is always preferred.
