In this blog post, I’m going to explain two of the concepts I covered when describing my work on XPages OpenLog Logger – interfaces and enums. Firstly, I will state categorically that diving into Java not a step I recommend to those starting out on XPages development from a Notes Client development background. There is […]

The structure prior to my recent work was one-dimensional. As part of the development for XPages OpenLog Logger, I made all the methods of the OpenLogItem class static. The reasoning was so that developers didn’t need to create an OpenLogItem object before calling any method, like logError(). So instead of: OpenLogItem oli_ = new OpenLogItem();

I haven’t blogged a great deal recently, but that’s because I’ve been rather busy with ICON UK and refactoring XPages OpenLog Logger into OpenNTF Domino API. I finally completed that work last night, so I’m going to be writing a few blogs to cover what’s been done. That’s for a number of reasons. So people

Some time ago I blogged about exporting and importing Domino Designer preferences but I had always struggled to work out which files / folders were required for Working Sets. Today I decided to do a clean install and finally managed

A few weeks ago Stephan Wissel blogged about securing XPages applications using an ANT script and, in a side note, also recommended generating a Javadoc at the same time. For some time I’ve seen the Generate Javadoc… option on the Project menu of Domino Designer. If you’ve ever tried clicking on it, you’ll have found that

XPages provides a number of options for holding global variables at various hierarchical levels. Scoped variables allow data items to be scoped to application, session (browser session), view and request. But the values cannot be calculated dynamically within the map itself. However, they can easily be updated by accessing the map from SSJS or Java

A few weeks ago Naveen Maurya posted a blog about enabling typeahead content assist for faces-config.xml files. The faces-config formatting is standard for JSF so is available from the Sun / Oracle website under the JavaServer Faces DTDs category. Unfortunately, however, XPages themes resources are not standard. A folder of DTDs has bee provided with
