REDIRECT_URL Procedure

58.101 REDIRECT_URL Procedure

This procedure calls owa_util.redirect_url to tell the browser to redirect to a new URL. Afterwards, it automatically calls apex_application.stop_apex_engine to abort further processing of the Oracle APEX application.

Syntax

APEX_UTIL.REDIRECT_URL (
    p_url               IN VARCHAR2,
    p_reset_htp_buffer  IN BOOLEAN  DEFAULT TRUE );

Parameters

Parameter	Description
`p_url`	The URL the browser requests.
`p_reset_htp_buffer`	Set to `TRUE` to reset the HTP buffer to make sure the browser understands the redirect to the new URL and is not confused by data that is already written to the HTP buffer. Set to `FALSE` if the application has its own cookie to use in the response.

Example

The following example tells the browser to redirect to http://www.example.com and immediately stops further processing.

apex_util.redirect_url (
    p_url => 'http://www.example.com/' );
