XOTS: Background and MultiThreaded Tasks the OpenNTF Domino API Way (Part One)

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 […]

We all know that XPages URLs are case sensitive. So for a page “Domino_ViewState.xsp”, you cannot use “domino_viewstate.xsp”. 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

Scoped Variables, Implicit Variables and Repeat Controls

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
