I have an unwritten rule that if I learn something and I think I’ll hit the same problem again, I try to blog about it; if I hit it again and I can’t find it on my blog, I definitely blog about it. Yesterday I encountered the latter, so today I’m blogging about it. As […]

A couple of weeks ago Jesse Gallagher posted a blog about getting the JSF faces-config visual editor working in Domino Designer. I followed up with how to enable the same functionality in Eclipse by setting up a faceted project. It turned out that had some knock-on implications to the NSF, which you can work around

I’ve seen a number of questions recently on StackOverflow related to extending the functionality of the View Panel. Firstly, a bit of editorial. I am not a big fan of the View Panel. The XPages course I went on covered repeat controls on the second morning and every XPages developer should have covered repeat controls

Yesterday, Jesse Gallagher wrote a great blog post on using an older version of the Web Tools Platform plugins in Domino Designer to get a better editor for faces-config files. For over a year now, I’ve moved beyond Domino Designer for chunks of my day job – SourceTree for source control, Perforce P4 Merge for

At ICON UK I delivered two sessions, one on OpenNTF Domino API and one, with John Cooper, on development OSGi plugins. Both sessions were well attended and jam-packed with content. In addition, as platinum sponsors, it was a busy time for all of us at Intec. It was great to catch up with old friends

For Domino 8.5.1, 8.5.2 and 8.5.3 I wrote whitepapers detailing the benefits that XPages gives those who are already on Domino and the reasons for upgrading from the previous version. With the release of Domino 9.0, the format previously used didn’t seem so applicable. Many companies on Domino and Domino developers already had at least

It’s now less than one week until ICON UK, and it’s going to be a busy day for me and Intec. Intec are the platinum sponsor and Rooven Pakiri will be delivering Intec’s sponsor session at 10am. My first session at 11am is What’s New and Next in OpenNTF Domino API. The API has grained

Nathan has uploaded a new release of OpenNTF Domino API. There are a few significant differences in the upload this time. Firstly there is a separate install for Designer Client and Domino Server. That’s to minimise the footprint for the server. Those who have used M4.5 may have noticed the Javadoc support was lost, because

Buttons in XPages are interesting and potentially dangerous elements. They’re dangerous, mainly to less experienced XPages developers, because they have this apparently helpful combo box that immediately attracts the eye for Button type. Cancel is useful, but to be honest I never set that. All it does, if you look at the source pane,

Moment of most celebrated enlightenment usually comes from putting together a frustration with a piece of knowledge gleaned for a completely unrelated reason. A couple of days ago I had such an epiphany. Often when I’m developing I need to check something somewhere else on the XPage or Custom Control. Or I need to add
