When Does a Control That Has An Id, Not Have An Id?

As part of some work on XPages OpenLog Logger, I’m looking to not only log SSJS errors but also give the facility to push them to an Error control for the relevant component or an Errors control if they are not associated directly to a control. There have been a couple of challenges around this. […]

In addition to the default constructor public ListPicker(), I’ve created two more: public ListPicker(List<String>) and public ListPicker(Set<String>). Because I’ve just used the generic classes […]
