Summary
A long while back I posted an entry on linking to a report via a URL. All was good but it only worked if you either:

Summary
This is the place to start; Why would you consider rewriting the native APEX URL? There are a few good reasons why, but generalizations won’t work here. The question is why do YOU need this for YOUR application? Consider it, and reconsider it, because there are no silver bullets here. Any path you choose will inevitably cause more work, add complexity and even more gray hairs when your carefully thought out assumptions suddenly changes. Not to mention adding overhead to your webserver when processing requests. Perhaps you will even start loosing hair for all I know. The more sophisticated application, the more work added for beautifying the URLs.

By now you should be having a fair idea of high usability of Oracle Application Express a.k.a APEX with its easy navigation between pages using column links, branches, breadcrumbs, navigation tabs, etc. If proper security is not enforced in preventing in URL tampering, user can change the parameter in URL say change Person Id value to 242, and get that person details. It wouldn’t seem as a bigger problem if all the users have same access to information. This article explains how to avoid this problem.
