The XPages Help Application for OpenNTF was my first attempt at using Java beans in XPages. I expected some challenges and wasn’t disappointed. I’ve already blogged about one of the most challenging, that some properties of Domino objects are still available even after the object has been recycled. Another I came across was when refreshing […]

One of the frustrating things about a clean install of DDE or Eclipse is trying to remember what settings you had and where to set them. For example, on a laptop I had when I opened a Custom Control, the Custom Controls section in the Applications pane was expanded; when I opened a view, the

Just in case you’ve been hiding for the last few weeks, June is Learn XPages month. For those of us who have been using XPages for some time, it’s often easy to assume that most developers are already using XPages. But there are still a lot of developers yet to dive into XPages. That was

Anyone who has attended Tim Tripcony’s inspirational session on taking themes to the next level will never develop their XPages applications in the same way ever again.

Next week, along with a host of other great speakers and enthusiastic attendees, I will be attending UKLUG in Manchester. This promises to be a remarkable event, if for no other reason but that forecasts say it won’t be raining all the time. (If you haven’t heard the song, take a look at the lyrics

Almost a year ago I wrote a whitepaper called “Maximising the Benefits of Lotus Domino 8.5.x with XPages“. This was an open discussion of the pros and cons of XPages, based on Domino 8.5.1. I have updated the whitepaper to take into account the significant enhancements in XPages in 8.5.2 and a year’s more experience

One of the great things about XPages is that you can extend your skill-set as you become more confident. You can build a powerful application without needing to write your own stylesheet or use a theme or use Java. But as and when you want to push the boundaries of your knowledge further, you can

Some time ago I read Chris Toohey’s article on Logic-Driven NotesDocument UNIDs. I have had unfortunate experiences with profile documents where cached values were being returned. So Chris’s technique was extremely useful, because I could define the UNID, so be able to access the document quickly and reliably using getDocumentByUNID(). I’ve used it a number
