About six months ago I did a tutorial series on passing a List or Set into a Value Picker. That covered the scenario where the label and value are the same. Somewhat belatedly, I’m concluding the series with the code for passing in a Map – the scenario where the label and the value need […]

Over the last few days there have been a few releases of the OpenNTF Domino API. One of the issues was something I first came across on Friday evening where Factory.getSession() was throwing an error when triggering a partial refresh from a button in a brand new database. It was fine the first attempt after

In this blog post, I’m going to explain two of the concepts I covered when describing my work on XPages OpenLog Logger – interfaces and enums. Firstly, I will state categorically that diving into Java not a step I recommend to those starting out on XPages development from a Notes Client development background. There is

The structure prior to my recent work was one-dimensional. As part of the development for XPages OpenLog Logger, I made all the methods of the OpenLogItem class static. The reasoning was so that developers didn’t need to create an OpenLogItem object before calling any method, like logError(). So instead of: OpenLogItem oli_ = new OpenLogItem();

At ICON UK I presented about the OpenNTF Domino API and mentioned a modified Update Site template for dropping the org.openntf.domino jar into a server / Designer install. I was reminded recently that I had not included that in my session material. So here it is. Firstly, a few caveats: This is provided as is.

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. For some time I’ve seen the Generate Javadoc… option on the Project menu of Domino Designer. If you’ve ever tried clicking on it, you’ll have found that

XPages provides a number of options for holding global variables at various hierarchical levels. Scoped variables allow data items to be scoped to application, session (browser session), view and request. But the values cannot be calculated dynamically within the map itself. However, they can easily be updated by accessing the map from SSJS or Java

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,
