Oracle Application Express 5: Developing Web Applications — Question 41

You want to refer to a page by a name (or alias) instead of page number in the application URL.
Which step most accurately helps you achieve this?

Answer options

• A. Go to Application Properties and set "Refer to page by name (or alias)" to "Yes".
• B. Set the Built-in substitution string PAGE_ALIAS on page load.
• C. Enter an alphanumeric name in the Page Title attribute.
• D. Enter an alphanumeric alias in the Page Alias attribute.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, as entering an alphanumeric alias in the Page Alias attribute directly allows the page to be referenced by that alias in the URL. Option A is incorrect because simply setting a property to 'Yes' does not establish an alias. Option B is not suitable since PAGE_ALIAS is used within the context of page load, but does not define the alias itself. Option C only changes the Page Title, which does not affect the URL reference.
