Some Recent XPages (and Plugin) Learning Points

With a recent project, I’ve been deep in the bowels of the XPages component tree and run-time, with some detailed debugging involved. This has brought a few things to my attention Dialogs and Component Loading I’ve been adding a component to an XPage and then using Java on page load to access it. But when […]

Bootstrapv3 Form Table and Edit Box Width

Yesterday I fought for quite some time trying to get Edit Boxes in a Form Table to go full width. It’s a starter database I’ve had for some time and converted from OneUI to Bootstrap. So I have some styles for setting the width of Edit Boxes, depending on whether I want small, medium or […]

Engage Review and Slides

Over the last few days I’ve been attending Engage. As ever, it was an excellent conference, with a great attendance from across Europe. (If you’ve not attended a user group recently and will not this year, put it on your list for next year, May 2018.) As ever, Theo is a brilliant organiser and the social events […]

Domino Server for Developers Entitlement Announced

Today at Engage Ed Brill announced that in Q3 there will be a Domino server licensing entitlement for developers. Yes, you read that correct.

Intec Speakers Next Week at Engage

Next week IBM Lifetime Champion Theo Heselmans is hosting Engage, back in Antwerp, of which I have fond memories.

I’m looking forward again to enjoying […]

Swagger for Domino Developers – Part Two: Swagger Editor

In Part One I gave a bit of background on Swagger. Now onto some tools. The Swagger Editor comes in an online version but you can also install it locally. My preference was previously to use the online version because the local install used NodeJS, so it was a bit outside my comfort zone. After […]

The Awesome New Functionality of ODA Part Two

Part one of this, which covers the background, is here. Before looking at some code, it’s worth just covering performance. Obviously, on a busy production server, if you’re running code for every save of a document, code needs to be optimised. To give you an idea, here’s a snippet of conversation: “About” is good, but […]

ODA Update From IBM Connect: The Awesome New Functionality of ODA

At the end of my OpenNTF Domino API session with Stephan Wissel at IBM Connect, I showed a demo of some experimental new functionality in ODA. Hopefully those who saw it were impressed with the power and potential, especially because part of it reproduced the Watson Workspace notifications integration that the Sapho product showed in […]

Validators, Vectors and Strings – Oh My!

….Or, “When is a blank value not a blank value!” This week I hit a problem with XPages validation. I had a custom Java validator that was doing some complex validation across multiple components. The validator was affixed to a Dojo List Text Box. It had a requiredValidator as well, to ensure the value wasn’t […]
