With the demos from part 1 and part 2 we now have a list running in XPages that has sorting, paging and filtering. But what if you want to use Domino JNA in a REST API? To serve a JavaScript/ Angular/ React/ Vue application or, why not, an app running in Office 365?

I’m into performance at the moment, trying to solve some nasty issues in one of the applications I work on. While researching the topic I came across Karsten Lehmann’s Domino JNA project that allows you to use some low-level C-API methods using Java. It contains functions that are very useful in my scenario, but I also wondered how the library performed. So I wrote some basic tests, comparing JNA with the ‘standard’ (or ‘legacy’) Domino API and, while I was at it, the org.openntf.domino (ODA) API.

After reading this question on StackOverflow by Daniele Grillo I decided to have a quick shot myself at integrating dropzone.js with XPages. Daniele already gave the solution to his issue himself (no bonus points for me today), but maybe others can benefit from a full example.

I’m a big fan of the ExtLib Dynamic Content control. Use it in probably all my single-page XPage apps. Recently I was working on a page that had 2 nested Dynamic Content controls. I wanted to allow users to bookmark the page, including the state of both controls.

For one of my customers I’ve started working on an application that uses AngularJS for the frontend that talks to a REST API served by IBM Domino. For the REST API we decided use servlets: something that’s covered in great detail on Ed McCormick’s excellent blog.

Slides from our session at IBM ConnectED 2015 in Orlando. BTE 102: The Future of Web Development Write Once, Run Everywhere with AngularJS and Domino by Marky Roden and Mark Leusink Senior Solutions Architect LinQed - PSC Group LLC.

In about two weeks time IBM’s ConnectED takes off. We (that’s me and Marky Roden) were fortunate enough to be allowed to speak there with a brand new session titled “The Future of Web Development – Write Once, Run Everywhere with AngularJS and Domino”.

For a mobile app I’m currently working on (more on that soon) I’m using Domino Access Services. After fixing the issue with the number of entries returned by a view entry service, I quickly ran into other issues. I’m using a frontend build with Angular that’s running on a different domain name. So I have to add CORS headers (Cross Origin Resource Sharing).
