Recently I was adding a new XPages front-end onto an existing database. I chose to split database and XPages application, so the data is in a separate database. So, for security purposes and to prevent access to the old web front-end, I had the bright of locking down URL access by enabling the “Don’t allow […]

It’s been about a year since I last blogged about XOTS. Just to recap, XOTS is a method of running background multi-threaded tasks coded within an NSF. It’s basically DOTS tasklets within XPages. The tasklet extends Runnable if you just want to call it and let it run in the background, or Callable if you

At which point we start cursing ourselves and the need to do it. It’s a topic I covered in my session at IBM Connect and also at Engage this

Next week I’ll be at Engage. It was my first user group as a speaker back in 2010 and it has developed into arguably the premier user group for IBM Collaboration Solutions in Europe. This year IBM Champion (in perpetuity now) Theo Heselmans has gathered a stellar cast of speakers including some key IBMers, a

The theme of my session at IBM Connect (which will be repeated at the end of this month at Engage) focussed a great deal on the XPages lifecycle and how to troubleshoot and understand it. Once you do have that level of understanding, there are some powerful things you can do with it. Here is

Recently Maven builds stopped working for me in Eclipse. The message didn’t mean much to me. But it wasn’t a huge problem, because I have Maven installed externally and have not had a problem building with that. Until I wanted to build the Extension Library last night. Then I got the error below. So I
