Need REST_SERVICES_APEX=true for apex static images in ords 18..4

[klostrie]

Hello Martin,
I installed it with ORDS 18.4 on a 12.2.0.1 database, based on your original blog post. I found that the static images in my apex install didn't render. After some debugging with the help of the apex team we found that the ords container needs to be started with the argument "-e REST_SERVICES_APEX=true". By default that value is false and because of that the connection pools required for the apex static files are not created.

@klostrie When you say static images in APEX do you mean the apex/images/* folder or files loaded into an application Static Files?

@martindsouza Sorry I meant the static application files. The issue was obvious when I created an application and the application icon didn't render. That is application static file app-icon.svg.
