APEX returns HTTP 200 for a non-existent page (“Page not found”)

Oracle Developer Community — 2026-10-01T12:35:53.801679+00:00

Hello, I noticed that Oracle APEX returns HTTP status 200 OK when requesting a page that does not exist. Example: GET /viva/f?p=200:999999 The response displays the APEX “Page not found” error page, but the HTTP status is: HTTP/1.1 200 OK I would expect: HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found Is this expected behavior or a known issue? Is there a supported way to make APEX return HTTP 404 for a non-existent application page? Thanks.

"AOT Caching - Netflix' Practice vs OpenJDK's Theory" [I/O]

Inside Java Podcast — 2026-09-17T07:50:00+00:00

Java projects that want to reduce their launch times need to look into Java's new ahead-of-time capabilities. A training run is used to populate a cache that, in production, allows the JVM to short-circuit many operations, like class loading and linking, profile gathering, and - probably soon - JIT compilation. To get the most out this feature, a good training run is essential. Netflix approach is pretty much the ideal one: use a canary deployment of a new version to collect training data and cr

Real World Analysis of Ideal AI Workloads for NVIDIA Vera on OCI

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure — 2026-09-16T18:00:00+00:00

Why AI native teams are asking for NVIDIA Vera to run their workloads on an 88 core agentic Arm CPU For most of the last decade the interesting question about a data center CPU was how many cores it had and what they cost per hour. That question is now less useful than it looks. […]

JDK 27 Security Enhancements

Principles of Memory Management in Java

Inside Java — 2026-09-04T00:00:00+00:00

In this talk, we’ll explore why the JDK’s garbage collectors work the way they do and how Java memory management affects application performance. We’ll look at the sometimes non-obvious relationship between RAM and CPU, and why they must always be considered together.

Building an agent harness that survives production

Oracle Developers — 2026-09-03T13:13:44+00:00

Put an agent on your refunds queue. It reads the ticket, finds the order, checks the policy, issues the refund. The demo goes beautifully. Six weeks later it closes 140 tickets in an afternoon and reports every one resolved. Forty-one of them never reached the payments API. The model wrote “refund issued” because that is […]

Hybrid Retrieval for Agent Memory: Vector, Lexical, and Metadata Together

Oracle Developers — 2026-08-25T08:35:38+00:00

Hybrid retrieval for agent memory combines semantic candidates, lexical matches, and explicit scope before assembling context. Fusion and reranking are useful only when they improve a labeled workload without admitting stale or unauthorized memory. Hybrid retrieval for agent memory is a multi-stage pipeline. Pure vector search is the prototype. The companion repo implements the full […]

Cracking the Linux Boot Code: Deep-Dive Linux Boot Diagnostics

Oracle Linux — 2026-08-24T16:00:00+00:00

Basic boot diagnostics usually start with kernel verbosity, early console output, initcall timing, Dracut debugging, and systemd analysis. Those tools are covered in Cracking the Linux Boot Code: Linux Boot-Time Diagnostics Foundations. This second part goes deeper into kernel-side instrumentation that can be enabled during boot: dynamic debug, boot-time tracing, ftrace, bootconfig, and kprobes. These […]

Value Classes Still Need Compiler Sympathy

Inside Java — 2026-08-24T00:00:00+00:00

Declaring a value class is first and foremost a semantic decision. It tells our fellow programmers that its instances are defined entirely by their state and do not need identity. That clearer model is valuable in itself! The JVM’s additional freedom to optimize how those values are represented is a welcome bonus. C2 can do amazing things with that freedom, but it cannot always recover information hidden behind abstraction boundaries. Profiling and inspecting the generated code remain the best w

What we learned about letting agents into a production database

Oracle Developers — 2026-08-21T15:46:41+00:00

Oracle is exploring how agent memory and Model Context Protocol can help developers use Oracle AI Database as durable memory for AI agents and query enterprise data without generating their own SQL.

Build a Controlled Cursor MCP Workflow with Oracle AI Database

Oracle Developers — 2026-08-21T14:30:38+00:00

A controlled Cursor MCP workflow gives an assistant an explicit tool boundary for Oracle AI Database access. The useful result is a permitted action with an inspectable outcome, not unrestricted access to every database object. Giving an AI assistant database access is easy. Making that access controlled, inspectable, and repeatable is the hard part. Here is the […]

Cracking the Linux Boot Code: Linux Boot-Time Diagnostics Foundations

Oracle Linux — 2026-08-20T16:00:00+00:00

When a Linux system crawls, freezes, or vanishes into a blank screen during startup, the real story is often hidden in the earliest seconds of boot. Linux boot-time debugging helps uncover that story by identifying whether the delay or failure comes from a problematic service, driver, mount, firmware handoff, or kernel initialization path. During startup, […]

Episode 67 “Keeping Up With the Java Release Train” [I/O]

Inside Java — 2026-08-20T00:00:00+00:00

Updates to older releases are offered under the Java SE OTN license. To give users of NFTC releases time to transition, Oracle […]

Preparing for Change: Safe Switching over Sealed APIs

Inside Java — 2026-08-14T00:00:00+00:00

An exhaustive switch on a sealed type covers the permitted subtypes the compiler knows about; it does not cover future additions, which can cause MatchException at run time. API authors should document the expected evolution of sealed types so that client code can choose how to handle future additions. It is almost never necessary to use default when switching over a sealed type—and often not the best option.

Where did my memory go? When total memory is not total memory in linux

Oracle Linux — 2026-07-15T16:00:00+00:00

When examining free memory in Linux, it seems that the reported total free memory is a static value that tells you how much memory is physically installed in a system. However, interestingly, this is not the case. For instance, on my 64 GiB x86-64 system: Hmm, that’s ~62.1 GiB, not 64 GiB? First of all, […]
