Those of us who have been working with Domino and Java for some time know that one of the big strengths over LotusScript is the host of standard Java libraries that can be utilised. If you want better string or number handling etc, you have Apache Commons libraries. If you want Excel export, you have […]

Earlier today I say a tweet from Fredrik Norling about a blog post he did in 2014 for copying and pasting Java code between XPages and Java agents. Used my code to export a webservice today, great way for webservices in XPages https://t.co/GYg85tZ86C #XPages — Fredrik Norling (@XPageDeveloper) 15 December 2016 It reminded me of

In REST services, the standard format for dates is the ISO 8601 format, which formats the time offset against UTC. So 24th September 2016 12:00:00 British Summer Time would be a string in the format “2016-09-24T12:00:00+01:00”. However, when you want to use that in your application, you need to convert the text string to something

It’s been about a year since I last blogged about XOTS. Just to recap, XOTS is a method of running background multi-threaded tasks coded within an NSF. It’s basically DOTS tasklets within XPages. The tasklet extends Runnable if you just want to call it and let it run in the background, or Callable if you

The theme of my session at IBM Connect (which will be repeated at the end of this month at Engage) focussed a great deal on the XPages lifecycle and how to troubleshoot and understand it. Once you do have that level of understanding, there are some powerful things you can do with it. Here is

The beta of XPages in Bluemix introduces the concept of splitting design from data, with (on the whole) one NSF for the XPages components and one for the data. But for me that’s not a new concept, and has not been for some time. Accessing a separate database is nothing new in XPages. It was

Domino offers a lot out-of-the-box. It’s immediately apparent when looking at the Document Properties that the last modified time and last modifier are stored. What’s less obvious is that the last modified time of an individual field is also stored. That can be extremely useful when trying to work out who or how that field

In more recent projects I’ve written my agents in Java. Although it meant copying some code across (and in some cases, rewriting it a bit because the agents were not using OpenNTF Domino API), it helped keep muscle memory. However, I encountered some strange behaviour when refreshing design of the databases. LotusScript agents were fine,
