Symptoms

In DB Actions, the Handler definition page of a module template shows Source type "Collection Query".

However, the Show code button reveals a different code:
p_source_type => 'source_type_collection_feed'

If one tries this code will get a HTTP 500 error from ORDS.

SQL Developer classic provides the correct REST Definition though:
p_source_type => 'json/collection'

A similar problem appears if Source type is set to "Collection Item" DB Actions, we get
p_source_type => 'source_type_collection_item'

or for "Media":
p_source_type => 'source_type_media'

and finally for Source type "PL/SQL", we get from Show code:
p_source_type => 'source_type_plsql'

This behavior is confirmed with latest ORDS 23.2.2.r2081534.

Furhter more, the code is executed correctly for example in SQL Worksheet.

However, if the endpoint is tested again, the handler will produce a 500 error:

2023-08-04T07:49:54.366Z SEVERE <ECID> GET example.host.com /ords/examples/emp/emp 500 An unexpected error with the following message occurred: source_type_collection_feed
InternalServerException [statusCode=500, logLevel=SEVERE, reasons=[An unexpected error with the following message occurred: source_type_collection_feed]]
