Frequently Asked Questions

What is the FOEX Plugin Framework?

The FOEX Plugin Framework is a low-code rapid application development (RAD) tool that helps developers build complex web applications using Oracle APEX and Sencha Ext JS.

It is 100% AJAX based and comprises of a set of 130+ plugins (60+ region & item plugins and 70+ dynamic actions & processes) and high-performance UI components that are easily configurable.

Using this software solution developers have the essential building blocks for creating both the client-side and server-side for large-scale business applications.

Absolutely not. The FOEX Plugin Framework was built on top of Oracle APEX and Sencha Ext JS and it leverages what's best of both.

Any improvements brought to APEX or Sencha will be also available within your license for the FOEX Plugin Framework. Additionally, you don't need to worry about compatibility issues, as with any new version of APEX, the FOEX Plugin Framework is reviewed and any potential issues are solved.

APEX is a great solution if you're looking to build simple web applications and if those are your requirements, you should stick to using just APEX.

The FOEX Plugin Framework extends the functionality of the standard APEX platform, allowing you to build both the client-side and server-side of complex business applications. By using its pre-built components you speed up the development cycle and significantly reduce the application maintenance costs.

The FOEX Plugin Framework represents a great choice if you're looking to:

  • build information-dense screens, with many Master-Detail-Detail relations
  • build applications with a functional design and modern UI
  • modernize or migrate applications built with legacy technologies
  • use limited resources to develop large-scale web applications
  • use a low-code rapid application development tool to build both the client-side and server-side of your application(s)

The FOEX Developer Addon (FDA) is a browser extension designed to enhance the APEX Builder IDE specifically for developing FOEX applications.

Yes. Each developer must have their own assigned FOEX license.

How are the FOEX plugins licensed?

The FOEX plugins are licensed under a commercial license.

Yes, if the currently licensed user is no longer working on the application(s) or anything that would require using the FOEX Plugin Framework, you may reassign the license to another user.

Yes, if the original license holder no longer works for your company, you may reassign the license to a different user.

Yes. With the change to the SaaS pricing model the standard support is included in your FOEX license.

However, if you want to ensure that your enquiries have a guaranteed 1-day or 3-day response time you can purchase a 1-day SLA or 3-day SLA at an additional cost.

If you are creating your own commercially licensed software developer kit (SDK) or web application builder based on FOEX Plugins, a commercial OEM license is the right option for you.

Since use cases vary widely, commercial OEM licenses are customized per customer. Contact us to learn more about custom OEM offers.

A developer license must be held by the owner of the Intellectual Property, we are bound by Sencha licensing. If you are a ISV then you only need to license your own developers.

However, if you are a developer doing projects for customers who will retain the intellectual property rights, then technically the customer requires the license.

In such cases, your customer is responsible for licensing all developers involved in the project and all developers who will be providing ongoing maintenance after the project is delivered.

Yes, the applications you build using the FOEX Plugin Framework will continue to run even if you decide to cancel your license subscription. By discontinuing your FOEX license agreement, you will no longer receive updates, hot xes or any other future improvements that we'll bring to the FOEX Plugin Framework.

Furthermore, we do not guarantee, nor will we provide support for any compatibility issues that you may encounter if you decide to use another version of Oracle APEX, other than the one initially used for developing the application(s).
