XFiles

This page is the placeholder for the XFILES APEX blog post series. Part of of community effort to clean up the APEX XFiles source code.

XFILES is a demo application that demonstrates the Oracle XML database functionality. During Oracle Open World 2008 Mark Drake, Sr Product Manager XMLDB and Carl Backstrom, called had a presentation called “Oracle Application Express and Oracle XML Database: A Match Made in the Database“.Mark had build the XFILES demo application, until that time, with the tool-set he knew best, Java/JavaScript & PL/SQL.

During this presentation, for the first time, the APEX version, build with the help of Carl Backstrom, was demonstrated for a bigger audience. Carl wanted to clean up the code for this application but never had the chance, due to a car crash. For more details read the blog post titled “In Remembrance of Carl Backstrom. on how this series came to light.
