Some time ago I posted about the number of times the rendered property gets calculated during the JSF lifecycle and the benefits of partial execution. (One caveat is that I haven’t re-tried that since 8.5.x, so more optimisation may have been built into the XPages runtime engine.) One way of optimising calculations in the rendered […]

Events in my personal life took over at the end of March, and I realised I had not yet blogged about the last release of XPages OpenLog Logger. This had a number of feature enhancements. The first was to move the openLogBean from requestScope to sessionScope. The reason for doing this was to address issues

I had the honour or being one of the technical editors of the book and it is well worth investing in, whether you bought the first edition or

Currently I’m in the process of going through ensuring documentation is available for all methods in OpenNTF Domino API. It’s going to take some time, not least because Javadocs need adding for all lotus.domino methods, as well as the additional methods we’ve added. One of the benefits is I’m finding out about methods that have

Last week I started playing with Bootstrap4XPages. It’s been around for a few months now and is part of OpenNTF Essentials. But I finally got round to playing with it. Although having lots of whitespace seems in vogue for websites, personally I don’t like that. So one of my first steps was to change the

Since M3 we’ve had Listeners implemented in the OpenNTF Domino API. Although there’s potential for even greater implementation of listeners through the API, they’re already extremely powerful. Think about triggering specific code whenever a document is saved from XPages. The concept is very powerful and there has been an example in the Demo database for

XPages in Notes Client is one area that is receiving constant development. With 8.5.3 we gained Domino server and Notes client preferences XPagesPreload=1 and XPagesPreloadDB=myServer!!myDb.nsf/myXPage.xsp,myLocalDb.nsf/test.xsp. These preloaded the XPages runtime and preloads specific databases. Then with 9.0 we gained the functionality in Notes Client to define XPages that need to run on the server on

Today I had this query about refreshing multiple areas of the page on a blog post about partial execution: I have several input text fields with onChange events that do a partial updates on panels (a panel for each field) that contain the images that display whether the required field is completed. But I also

Earlier this week I had the pleasure to present with Martin Jinoch at Engage in Nertherlands. It was good to present on the API with someone who’s main involvement has been as a consumer, though very much an active member of discussions on existing and new functionality. Here are the slides, which included more recent

Recently I’ve been working on an application for XPages in Notes Client. Part of that has been using Domino Data Services in the application. One of the problems I came across was that the Domino Data Service was not running as the current logged on user, even though I was calling it from Java. I
