LotusScript to manipulate XPages and other file-based Elements
Andre Guirard | 12:21:49 AM Monday, March 29, 2010 | Full Story and Comments
I've recently updated my collection
of fancy LotusScript libraries (see
here) with a new tool for reading
the contents of file-based design elements, such as image resources, stylesheets,
XPages and Composite Applications -- anything that has a $FileData item
in the design note. This lets you, for instance, read the XML source out
of an XPage, manipulate it, and put it back with changes. Because there's
not yet a quot;descriptive quot; DXL notation for some of these design
elements, the code contains logic to read the CD records in the binary
data and extract out just the file data. Domino Designer plugins can access
design element contents by using the Eclipse IFile interface, but there
was not previously a way to do this in agents and client applications.
Designer Extension to search entire Application from Ferry Kranenburg
Niklas Heidloff | 12:54:24 AM Wednesday, March 24, 2010 | Full Story and Comments
Ferry Kranenburg has contributed a Domino
Designer extension to search source code in the full NSF/NTF. Here is the
project,
here the documentation
and here the direct
download link.
Ferry writes in the documentation that
it has taken him only three months to implement this and before this he
hadn't had any experience with Eclipse and Java. He writes that he found
some good starting points on OpenNTF.
Source Sniffer is a Domino Designer
extension written in Eclipse. It can search in the source code of a entire
application, it supports Java, Javascript, Lotusscript and Formula languages.
XPages are completely decoded so code can be found there too.
Your Feedback needed: Building the OpenNTF Dev Playground
Daniele Vistalli | 12:29:28 AM Tuesday, March 23, 2010 | Full Story and Comments
Yellow developers (and admins)... It's time for you to help with some feedback. Lately a number of new projects entered OpenNTF. We've been looking for a long time to build a collaborative development environment and now we're actually making it a reality. While we setup the foundation we need you to tell us what you expect. So we've a short presentation describing what we're looking into right new.
Please... take a few minutes to read, take a few more to tell us what you think.
Extensibility via OSGi and Java for IBM Lotus Domino
David Taieb | 1:02:38 AM Monday, March 22, 2010 | Full Story and Comments
The Notes/Domino C API toolkit allows
you to extend the server by writing applications called server addin tasks
to perform various jobs like archiving, billing, logging, etc... Although
very powerful, using the C API to write your tasks presents many challenges:
- Must be written in C/C++ which requires
a high cost of entry
- Low productivity
- Can be hard to debug
- Must be compiled for every platform
This prototype proposes a new way of
writing server addin tasks by using the Java OSGi programming model. This
would solve all of the problems described above, but also add new benefits
like:
- Declarative task scheduling
- Built-in mechanism to access server
task user arguments
- List of tell commands to query the
OSGi framework
- Extensibility
- Easy deployment
- Better tooling with Eclipse IDE and
its first class Java and plugins editors and Java debugger
- Leverage existing OSGi assets (within
the company or open source)
Here is the full
documentation, here the project
and here the direct
download link.
Some recent OpenNTF Statistics
Niklas Heidloff | 1:01:19 AM Thursday, March 18, 2010 | Full Story and Comments
Three weeks ago (2/24) more than 1000
releases were downloaded on a single day. These are more downloads than
we've seen for one day since we started to track these numbers in 2004.
On 3/2 we had for the first time more
than 18.000 page visits per day, followed by 19.000 page visits one day
later.
Since the OpenNTF Alliance was established
in May 2009 more than 25 new (non-IBM) developers have contributed code
to OpenNTF who had never contributed before.
This year 77 releases have been contributed
so far which is 80% more than in the same period of time in the previous
year.
OpenNTF thanks everyone who has helped
to achieve these numbers !

Domino Login Control for Mobile Apps
Niklas Heidloff | 1:17:50 AM Tuesday, March 16, 2010 | Full Story and Comments
The XPages
Mobile Controls project contains
now documentation and some code about how to do a specialized login page
for smartphone apps. It leverages the login page and redirect application
from Lotus iNotes.
You can read the documentation
here and get the code
here.
Reference Validation for Domino Designer
Niklas Heidloff | 5:05:15 AM Monday, March 15, 2010 | Full Story and Comments
Yi BJ Guo has contributed another plugin
to OpenNTF. This plugin shows how to extend Lotus Domino Designer to check
for valid references for XPages and custom controls.
Here is the link to the project,
here the documentation
and here the direct
download link.
Ulrich Krause: Get the most out of Lotusscript - Richtext under the Microscope
Ulrich Krause | 12:30:25 AM Friday, March 12, 2010 | Full Story and Comments
The project
Cebulon is some kind of a sandbox
to try (and sometimes fail) advanced techniques to use the C-API core functions
of Lotus Notes and Domino from Lotusscript. There are a lot of code snippets
you can find on the web to open a file dialog or to show a progressbar
and so on. But did you ever try to change the settings of a document header
or footer in the background using an agent? Not an easy one, is it? The
$Header / $Footer items are RichText items and you cannot simply use ReplaceItemValue
to modify the content.
What Developers at Entwicklercamp think about OpenNTF
