If a database does not have a default view specified (which is easily done), certain areas of functionality don't work as intended -- especially when it comes to document collection operations (e.g. code that generates doclinks).

A co-worker recently encountered a particularly nasty issue in which looping a document collection failed (no document objects set), despite the collection reporting a valid "count" attribute.

It would be useful to warn developers about this in Domino Designer, if they have no default view specified.

Since the problems created by not having a default view it should be enforced. Not having one *may* have increase performance slightly. As far as I can see from RPC logs I've been studying the default view always gets a hit even if the start frameset opens another view entirely, but I don't know if that changes if there isn't a default view - never tried it.

Ben, I hear what you're saying but I'd argue for not making the other functions require a default view in the first place! This seems a very strange design choice to me but someone smarter than I created the product.

Given the design decision has already been made I tend to agree with a warning as a minimum.
