Blog & Technical Insights

The structure prior to my recent work was one-dimensional. As part of the development for XPages OpenLog Logger, I made all the methods of the OpenLogItem class static.

I haven’t blogged a great deal recently, but that’s because I’ve been rather busy with ICON UK and refactoring XPages OpenLog Logger into OpenNTF Domino API.
