Upload Static Files with Subdirectory Structure

D.

Sure, I'd be happy to provide a detailed explanation of the answer choices and the best approach to upload the static files with their subdirectory structure.

Answer choice A suggests unzipping the app100_files.zip and uploading each directory individually. While this is possible, it would be a time-consuming and error-prone approach, especially if there are many subdirectories and files to upload. Moreover, this approach doesn't guarantee that the subdirectory structure will be maintained, as the order of uploading the directories might change their structure.

Answer choice B suggests uploading the app100_files.zip to the file server and unzipping the file. Then, in User Interface Properties, edit the Theme, and set JavaScript File URLs. While this approach could work, it assumes that all the static files are JavaScript files, which might not be the case. Moreover, it doesn't specify how to maintain the subdirectory structure of the static files, which could lead to confusion and errors when referencing the files.

Answer choice C suggests creating the required subdirectories in Shared Components, unzipping the app100_files.zip, and uploading each file into their subdirectories. This approach is the best one as it ensures that the subdirectory structure of the static files is maintained, and it's relatively easy to implement. Here are the steps to follow:

1. In Oracle Application Express (APEX), go to Shared Components and click on Static Application Files.
2. Create the required subdirectories for JavaScript and CSS files by clicking on the Create Subdirectory button.
3. Unzip the app100_files.zip file on your local machine.
4. Open each subdirectory in the unzipped folder and select all the files inside it.
5. Drag and drop the selected files into the corresponding subdirectory in APEX. APEX will automatically upload the files and place them in the correct subdirectory.
6. After all the files have been uploaded, you can reference them in your application by using the syntax #APP_IMAGES#subdirectory/filename.ext for images, #APP_CSS#subdirectory/filename.css for CSS files, and #APP_JS#subdirectory/filename.js for JavaScript files.

Answer choice D suggests uploading app100_files.zip and setting Unzip File to Yes. While this might work, it doesn't specify how to maintain the subdirectory structure of the static files, which could lead to confusion and errors when referencing the files. Moreover, this approach doesn't allow you to selectively upload the files to their respective subdirectories, which could lead to a cluttered and disorganized static files folder.

In conclusion, the best approach to upload static files with their subdirectory structure intact is to create the required subdirectories in Shared Components, unzip the app100_files.zip file, and upload each file into their corresponding subdirectory.
