APEX Page Item Source: “Only if Null” vs “Always Replace”

Jay Campos4 days ago

Hello everyone,

I am having difficulty understanding when to choose "Only when session state is null" vs : “Always, replacing any existing value in session state” for page items, or in general everything having to do with session state.

Specifically for:

  • Display items whose source is set to a hidden item (hidden item is DB column)
  • Display items whose source is a SQL query (set via procedures), send on page submit (off).

Wanting to get overall guidance especially for those page items that are not tied to a form. My overall concern is choosing the right one to prevent potential case where user has multiple tabs of different requests open; want them to see what is pertinent per request.

Overall, they both seem to be working ok for me from the tests I've done.
