The session covered different aspects related to developments within OpenNTF Domino API over the last year, one of which Nathan T Freeman covered in greater depth during his session entitled The Graph Revolution. It finally […]

This week IBM released the twelfth 9.0.1 release of the Extension Library. It’s great to see the inclusion of mapValuePicker and collectionValuePicker tags. That has proved the completion of a journey almost two years in the making, since I first blogged a tutorial series on doing this, back in May 2013. At the time they

A colleague asked me last week about the managed beans and whether a requestScoped bean would be loaded for every request. It’s something I had inadvertently already proved but forgotten. It’s always worth clarifying though and of relevance to more than just managed beans, but anything defined in the faces-config. All objects defined in the

Since I first blogged about Dojo charting in XPages in 2009, quite a lot has changed with Dojo. Much of what I did then is still valid, including the additional JavaScript file I created at Lotusphere 2011 and contributed to OpenNTF for making the chart legend multi-column and allowing styling on it.

However, what’s not so widely known is that the URLs are only case sensitive after the first character. So both “Domino_ViewState.xsp” and “domino_ViewState.xsp” will work for opening the XPage. However, although both will work, there can then
Last week I spoke with Tony McGuckin at IBM Connect. This blog post is explaining a problem I had recently, the cause, the investigation and the resolution two possible resolutions. All relate to content I covered in that session, particularly around the JSF lifecycle. It’s also why the JSF lifecycle is something I always cover

For the first time I’ve got an application that would benefit from Single Copy XPage Design. The challenge is how to develop that in a way that can best be managed via source control and deployed through development, test and live environments. That’s because, unlike design inheritance, Single Copy XPage Design is set in Domino

For anyone who has used the slides from my Show and Tell on source control in January or the subsequent NotesIn9 episode, the recommended Git / Mercurial client was SourceTree. It’s an excellent tool for those who prefer a GUI and runs on Windows and Mac. The advice at the time was to use the

The next step is to configure it for work with Domino. Thankfully, Nathan Freeman has done a great job at making it very easy to do so. I’ll go through the installation first and then explain what’s set. You need to download and install XPages SDK for Eclipse RCP project from OpenNTF into Eclipse. This
