Is there a way to use APEX as an HTML Form Processor? Here is the background....
We are using a 3rd party to do our payment processing and every time a payment gets submitted, they call home to us to let us know that a payment went through. First off, I will say that I have zero control of the process so do not suggest to me to import the APEX Javascripts and all because its impossible for me to to do that as the system is black boxed and run for us off site. What I do have is the specs for what their web form submits back to us as a POST transaction. I need APEX to pickup the values they submit then run a PL/SQL process to insert it into our local database. Using fancy APEX APIs and such is not an option. I must get it working with plain HTML POST and no APEX.SUBMIT(); type of API calls. All i can supply to the vendor is the URL they are supposed to post the form data to. Is there any way to shove a normal HTML web form down the throat of an APEX app and use the APEX page to load the form data (say into hidden fields) and use that page as the form submission processing point? The form will be automatically submitted so there will be zero user interaction with the APEX page and the plan is to make the page and app public.
I will go ahead and state that I am stuck using the last version of APEX 3 to do this implementation with an upgrade to the latest release planned for the future.
Any help would be appreciated.
