The Application Express 4.0 Early Adopter Phase II (EA2) is now available. Like EA1, this instance is running on Amazon EC2. The beauty of Amazon's elastic IP feature is that we could work on the EA2 instance and get it completely ready, then associate the elastic IP with the new instance, making the switch in less than 60 seconds. You can still access EA1 for the next couple of weeks in case you need anything from that instance. You will need to sign up for a new workspace on EA2.
One nugget I would pass on is that if you run Oracle in the cloud and use Elastic Block Storage for your data files, you should also change the parameter diagnostic_dest to point to your EBS volume instead of the volatile volume that only lives with the instance. The reason is that you could fill up that volume pretty quickly if there is a lot of action on your instance and cause your database to shutdown.
Have fun with EA2 and especially kicking the tires of Websheets!

Hi Jason, I am trying to get some information about a paper you authored "Integrating Application Express with PayPal Payments Pro". PayPal has updated its API, and I was wondering if anyone has updated the paper and examples for the new API. I apologize for leaving this as a comment, but I hope that you see this in you email. (I cant find any email contact for you.) You can contact me at j zyzniewski AT gmail dot com. (remove the spaces and replace the AT) Thanks!!!
Joe:
The paper has not been updated but it is a good candidate for update after our 4.0 release. I hope to have the opportunity to update it. Application Express 4.0 includes support for consuming REST based services, which is what the old Pay-Pal API used.
Thanks,
Jason
