I recently had a requirement to update an existing XPages-based application that uses Apache POI (the Java API for Microsoft Documents) to generate spreadsheet files. Now this post is not specifically about Apache POI, or how to use it with Domino and XPages, but more about an issue that I hit whilst updating the application. […]

Another topic that becomes key when moving beyond Domino is synchronous and asynchronous processing. But it’s probably something most Domino developers haven’t come across. LotusScript and standard Domino Java are single-threaded. That means your code starts at line 1, runs line 1, then line 2, then line 3. If line 4 is a function /

A common request seems to be how do I use XXXX Java or JavaScript project in XPages. One of the strengths of XPages was that it made the approaches more standard. So the answer is often less an XPages question, and more a generic web development question. There are a few caveats, but many of

Jesse Gallagher posted a thoughtful blog about the challenges for the way forward with XPages. It’s a challenge I’ve had a number of discussions around, many of which are ongoing. The reason there’s not a simple solution – throw whatever resources are required into XPages – is that it simply doesn’t make business sense. There

Today I came across a blog post from Daniel Nashed about international date conversion. It’s a problem I came across about a year ago with getting JSON dates from Notes fields in ODA. The code there was getting the GMT format by parsing specifically for US date formats. For a temporary workaround at the time,

I’m loving the approach with DQL. Kudos to the team, there are some very good fundamental approaches. Will try to blog later to clarify — Paul Withers (@PaulSWithers) 22 November 2018 Earlier today I posted this tweet. It followed another update from John Curtis teasing more enhancements coming to DQL. If you’ve been following closely
A few weeks ago I posted a blog about the Domino2025 Ideas portal, including my first idea. There is a lot of synergy and most are not “quick wins” but aimed at being “big wins”. They’re aimed at looking at that longer term approach to all developers and users. A few years ago XPages was

Some years ago – Lotusphere 2011 – a meme adorned t-shirts “</bitching><doing>“. That meme comes to mind particularly at this time. The rebuke was valid and, I think, heeded. Certainly for myself, 2011 was the start of my journey into open source, a journey that benefitted me personally and Intec in general – and hopefully

Two months from today IBM Think will officially start, although the IBM Champion day on March 18th will be my first – and no doubt very busy – involvement. And the great news is that I will be delivering two sessions that week. Developing with Watson Work Services Java SDK (Session ID 3249) The starting

Recently I’ve been digging into the Watson Conversation APIs. With Java being my language of choice, the natural starting point was the Watson Brewery demo which integrates with Watson Workspace. This in itself was a learning experience as I finally stepped beyond the world of Eclipse to use IntellJ IDEA, as mentioned in the ReadMe.
