Recently I was pointed in the direction of a blog post requesting hooks for opening / creating / saving etc of documents. With the next release of Notes (9.0.2??) due out later this year, I suspect the chances of a feature request getting in now is quite low. The subsequent release will probably not then […]

Yesterday I was hit by a problem. I was looking to set the login page for a suite of applications to an XPage. Some years ago I had a project and, with much less XPages expertise than now, just added some hacky code to redirect to a login XPage based on a sessionScope variable, so

One of my colleagues has been working on an XPages application and, because of other requirements, was creating his own modal dialog for taking action on a particular entry in a view. First, it’s worth a bit of background if this is something you’ve needed to do but are not sure how to. My usual

In a recent project I decided to use Single Copy XPage Design (SCXD). This is a seemingly useful technique that is in many ways similar to the concepts underpinning XPages on Bluemix: one database holds the data and it points to another database that contains the XPages-specific design elements – XPages, Custom Controls, StyleSheets, Themes,

This week I’ve been working with a significantly re-organised repository of OpenNTF Domino API. There were a few issues and it prompted me to finally get round to installing the latest fix packs for Notes and Domino. They had come out just before Engage, where I was speaking, so I chose not to upgrade then
These days virtually all my work on XPages and Custom Controls is done in the source pane. But by default when you open the design elements, they open to the Design pane. Wouldn’t it be great if it opened to the Source pane? The good thing about the Package Explorer is that by right-clicking on

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,

In the previous two parts I covered the background of XOTS, using a basic tasklet to return a result, and using a basic tasklet to run a background task allowing the user to continue working with the application while the background task completed. In that example the background task did not take a huge amount

Yesterday I blogged introducing where we are with XOTS in OpenNTF Domino API, plus a short example about how to create a tasklet and call it. The example was a bit “hello world” – why would you want to call a tasklet to get the current username, when it’s possible and much easier to do

OpenNTF Domino API has provided a number of significant enhancements. One of the more recent is XOTS. As its name suggests, XOTS brings together XPages and DOTS. At this point I think it’s worthwhile backtracking and giving some background on DOTS, which many XPages developers will not have utilised. DOTS came in with 8.5.3 and
