breadcrumbs in XPages (non extension library style)

Patrick Kwinten | 3 hours ago | App Dev - XPages

Previously I have written more on providing breadcrumbs in Domino and XPages. I overlooked the unshift JavaScript method which allows you to add items in the beginning of an array. In combination with the getParentID function for a NotesDocument you can simply create an reversed array of all parents and use the array as data a repeat control. Within the repeat control you place a link control and populate the label and document reference.

XPages Tip: Check whether your Checkbox is Checked with SSJS

Brad Balassaitis | 1 day ago | App Dev - XPages

If you’re not used to the fact that all component values are treated as strings by default, it can seem strange when you check the value of a checkbox component and expect a boolean return value.

ViewPanel vs. Dijit.Tree part 2

Jeroen Somhorst | 2 days ago | App Dev - XPages

In this article I will describe how I converted. We will concentrate on how to use a restService control and how to get the data needed to load the first categories in the tree. In the previous part of the series I explained a bit about how to create a simple dijit.tree and how it works. Now in this part I will explain how I used the restservice component from the extLib to generate a JSON structure which is compatible with the dijit.tree.

Troubleshot Port 80 Being Blocked on a Local Dev Server

I came across a strange issue when trying to do some development on a Notes 9 server that’s running locally on my development machine. When the server started, it threw an error message in the console, saying “HTTP Server: Error – Unable to Bind port 80. port may be in use or user needs net_privaddr privilege.”

Many a times while editing faces-config.xml I felt the need of content assist which could provide me with available tags and its attributes to ease development. JSF provides a DTD for faces-config.xml which can be used for this purpose.

Couchbase Data Sources for XPages

Jesse Gallagher | 3 days ago | App Dev - XPages

The other day, I attended a Couchbase Developer Day in Philly. If you're not familiar with Couchbase, it's one of the young crop of NoSQL databases, and more specifically a document database and a conceptual cousin to Domino by way of Damien Katz. That all makes Couchbase a perfect candidate for some XPage tinkering. Ignoring the foundational key-value aspects of Couchbase, the JSON document storage and views in 2.0 make for perfect analogues to the Domino data sources in XPages.

The "final" Keyword in Java

Jesse Gallagher | 3 days ago | App Dev - Notes

Yesterday, I suggested that everyone enable finalizing parameters in their code cleanups and, better, to do the same in their Java save actions; later, I set Eclipse loose on the org.openntf.domino API to implement it there. Adding final keywords to method parameters (and elsewhere where possible) is one of the habits I picked up from reading Effective Java a bit ago, but it's kind of a subtle thing and the benefits aren't immediately obvious.

OpenNTF Domino API Milestone 2.5

Nathan T. Freeman | 5 days ago | App Dev - XPages

We had a few copyright issues to sort out to make it to the Apache Catalog at OpenNTF.org. Hopefully we’ve got those sorted out now. There’s also some nice fixes for some of the auto-typing. I’ve started using the API in pre-production systems. It’s proving very solid for me — especially the auto-recycling and passive exception handling. It’s really lovely to just write code that says what I want to do, instead of all the stuff that the old API MAKES me write. It has at least doubled my output rate. Hope you enjoy using it!
