APEX

Hi all.

I'd like to see a few examples on how to create a custom authentication method for Apex.

I have this Forms 6i application which will soon be upgraded to 11g. This app have this authentication method:

- Users authenticate at the application level.
- The application maps the app user to the actual database user.
- The application holds metadata and application context used for views, and all data is accessed through views after application context is set.

I'd like to create an Apex app that does the following:

- User will still authenticate through the application.
- Apex will reuse logic to map application / database user.
- Apex wil reuse logic to set application context.

As far as i know, i will need to create a custom login procedure for the Apex app in order to do the above.

Turns out, i'm not Apex expert, so i need an example to start of...

Thanks in advance ....!
