A couple of months ago I asked whether people would be interested in custom controls for Dojo charting. I got lots of positive responses and people interested in helping out. However, then ILUG intervened and shortly afterwards one of my sessions for Lotusphere was accepted. On top of that I struggled to get my head […]

I suspect I am far from alone in coming to XPages with no experience of Java development. I’d done lots of LotusScript, a reasonable amount of JavaScript and HTML, and even a bit of XML. But I knew virtually nothing about Java (apart from the basics of syntax and that Java classes have a “public

At ILUG I attended Paul Calhoun’s excellent session “Using XML and RDBMS Data Sources in XPages”. The XML element of the session built upon articles Paul had contributed to The XPages Blog (http://xpagesblog.com/xpages-blog/2009/8/6/using-xml-as-an-xpage-data-source.html) and the Lotus Notes and Domino Application Development Wiki (http://www-10.lotus.com/ldd/ddwiki.nsf/dx/Using_XML_as_an_XPage_Data_Source). Over the last few days I’ve been experimenting with various methods of

After speaking at three LUGs around Europe this year, I will be making my debut at Lotusphere 2011. Although I submitted a few sessions, the one that was accepted is a joint session with Mr NotesIn9, David Leedy. It’s not the first time we will collaborate together. Those who have been working with XPages for a

As good as Dojo is, one of the widgets missing is a pivot table. It’s not a new suggestion for Dojo. A quick search of the internet finds this request for it dating back 3 years. It appears some development was made on code back in 2006 in the 0.9 timeframe, based on an OpenRecord plugin.

It’s been a busy couple of weeks at Intec. First there was ILUG, my third LUG of the year and a new session for me. Thanks for the evaluations, the comments were very encouraging. My concern when rehearsing it was echoed by one of the respondents, that there was too much material really for a

After a hectic few days I’ve had a chance to draw breath and review my experiences of ILUG 2010 last week in Belfast. Compared to other LUGs it is more laid-back, as proven by Kevin Cavanaugh’s relaxed dress code. But this should not be taken to suggest it’s any less busy, informative and educational than

This week ILUG 2010 is taking place in Belfast. Along with a host of attendees from across the globe, myself and Tim Malone will be there. The agenda is full of sessions from a wide-respected group of illustrious speakers, and Paul Mooney and the other organisers must be applauded for attracting such big names. I’m presenting

It’s been a while since I added anything to my Dojox Charting tutorial, although recently I’ve been looking (albeit very briefly) at the functionality available for 3D charts. With the release of the XPages Extension Library earlier this year, with which there were a number of Dojo widgets packaged, I was interested and a little nervous to

This is one of those occasions when I had written an article and was just waiting to get round to publish it, and another developer posted an article that covers a similar topic. Just this morning, Tommy Valand posted an article with some SSJS for accessing messages from the facesContext.getMessages and using an iterator to loop
