Generating Javadocs for XPages Applications

A few weeks ago Stephan Wissel blogged about securing XPages applications using an ANT script and, in a side note, also recommended generating a Javadoc at the same time.

The faces-config formatting is standard for JSF so is available from the Sun / Oracle website under the JavaServer Faces DTDs category.

Java and Selections Part Seven: ArrayLists and Value Pickers Addendum

I blogged a few weeks ago about adding dataProviders for the Value Picker control. Following recent investigations, I managed to get an ArrayList as the source of a simpleValuePicker dataProvider. As I found out, it fails if the valueList property is computed on page load (i.e. “${…}”). The error thrown, if you investigate in FireBug,
