XPages don't work with LotusScript. At all. So those legacy apps, if they use WebQueryOpen or WebQuerySave agents, are looking for a forklift-style upgrade where you get to rewrite your agents and script libraries in Javascript and/or Java. So a cool new technology requires a massive rewrite? Hmm.... sounds ... |
Thank you for your vote and comment, Peter. 1. If IBM will not support the UI, based on the Forms, you have officially reported this state, then we will not spend time with each other. 2. If XPages will work in the Notes client, and interface ... |
Below is the session abstract submitted by Matthew White and Bruce Elgort: XPages are the new web design tool that ships with Domino 8.5. In this session we will show you how we built a completely new web 2.0 application using XPages and very little else. We'll talk about ... |
Too early. What *should* happen is that XPages should be allowed to consume LotusScript (see my Ideajam ticket here). That lets you transition to XPages immediately with all/most of your legacy script libraries, custom classes, etc. Then (as of 8.5.1) people can ... |
I wonder how bad the xPages ... |
It would be nice when doing validation in Xpages for radio buttons (group) that when you set the validators ---> validateRequired ---> message, it would highlight the field then to the side of the highlighted field, your message is displayed in red or whatever color you choose and/or have some ... |
This is more a vote to see how the Notes development community might feel about Notes development moving away from LotusScript towards Javascript. With 8.5.0 IBM introduced xPages and it seems a lot of IBM's focus for Notes application development is going to be on the use of this design ... |
XPages are here, they're big and bad and scalable. They integrate with @Formulas, which is extremely powerful. For things like repeat controls, type-ahead, etc. there are times when you use @DbLookup or @DbColumn. But these functions are limited in returning 64K, like the days of old. |
We have an XPages version and a classic Domino version built into the same template. You can get to the XPages version of this site here: { Link } but by default we stick with the "classic" implementation. Matt |
In Domino 8.5 release, XPages do not pass HTML validation. This is mainly because that non-standard attributes for Dojo is used. This should be fixed. It should also be possible to create XPages (without hacks) that conform to W3C's Web Content Accessibility Guidelines. In many countries there are ... |
Xpages will have arrived once that can talk to more than just just Domino data. At minimum being able to talk to all the external RDB systems that DECS/DCR and LCLSX can speak to would be great. Then Xpages will be a viable alternative for developing Internet/Intranet web apps vs ... |
XPages code is a mess, it does not handle situation, where browserfeatures are missing and it is not accessible by default. This might be acceptable for internal websites, where you can control the browser and users, but it is not for customer facing websites. This should be fixed. |
It's all going to XPages so I wouldn't expect changes to classic web development. For XPages there are ID tags for almost everything so you can format with CSS or apply your own styles |
One of the biggest reasons I have for NOT using Xpages for some applications is the rich text editor. One of the first extensions of XPages specifically for the Notes client should be the option to embed the Notes client rich text editor as a rich client control. Not only ... |
The issue I have with using xPages here is that locks you in to using very specific flavors of Domino (8.5.1 xPages apps don't always work on even 8.5 servers).
An advantage of the current implementation is that it works on 7.0.2+, which gives it broad applicability.
|
You need to clarify what you mean by "XPages in the client". A lot of people are asking for this, but aren't saying exactly what they mean. You can run the embedded browser, point it at an XPage application running on a Domino server and, bingo, you have XPages on ... |
I would also be pleased, if I could use XPages in the Lotus Notes Client. Especially it should use the notes authentication. It should not be neccessary to login again, if I use a XPage application in the embedded browser inside the Notes Client. Or will this already work? I ... |
XPages are coming in ND 8.5. (If you don't know what XPages are, Andrew Pollack did an excellent writeup.) These are super cool and amazing, but Lotus is only planning to expose them on the web in ND 8.5. They are considering exposing them to the Notes client in ... |
With the introduction of XPages, Domino developers face a whole new world of opportunity to create compelling applications. At the same time, many battle-tested approaches to building high-performance, scalable systems no longer apply. Learn how to design Xpages applications to maximize performance and reliability by looking at specific data layouts ... |
I like the calendar time control for date/time fields on the client. These should also work on the web like they do in Xpages but without having to use Xpages. Would be a huge timesaver instead of having to use js. Would be nice to be able to specify a ... |
I think we will always be chasing our tails here if this approach was adopted. Xpages in the Notes client must be run as a Composite Application. It doesn't make a lot of sense to have two Composite Applications, one with Xpages and one without. So we really only need ... |
xPages will not be the only way to do web dev. I have a lot of customres that will propably not ever use it. When you have to support normal web dev (HTML type) it's easier to have them edit pages or forms then try to teach xPages. xPages ... |
Xpages makes a clear distinction between read only and disabled. I think there is a lot of opportunities to make quick improvements to Notes Classic design elements by taking many of the cool things now available in Xpages. Read-Only is one of them. |
This technology (XPages) is going to be the next boom from lotus notes. However the it still requires a lot to be done. At least the help documents should be available on all the component and properties comes under Xpages. The developer feels happy when he get the help on ... |
It would help developers to move Notes apps and basic web apps to XPages. It could be a cut & paste convertion that would let the developer to paste in the macro formula and get back the javascript replacement. It would help reduce errors in the conversion process. Especially ... |
Nathan T Freeman has already demonstrated how cool a Notes application can be made to look with a carousel control. I would like to see a carousel control added to the pallette of controls available for Xpages. |
I would like to see the ability to display data in a view (or document collection) in Xpages using a calendar style view similar to the one supported in the Notes client. |
OK, this one might be hard to explain, but if you've ever worked with tables in Adobe Dreamweaver, there is a nifty "expanded" view. It basically makes the edges of 0px bordered tables larger, just for viewing purposes. I think something like that would be most handy in the design ... |
In the XPages editor in DDE, I'd like to be able to view design and source in one screen.
And/Or, even better, design on one monitor, source on the other! |
The Blog template for R8 has an Editor2 dojo widget, that has plugins for adding links, pictures, viewing as HTML etc., using dojo widgets stored as File Resources in the database template. XPages uses dojo widgets, using dojo files installed on the server. |
Allow a developer to select a folder as a data source in the view control in XPages designer. Currently only allows views, but folders can be manually selected in the source code editor. |
XPages should have native access to RDB data. This will allow the use of external SQL data in views and forms in conjunction with Notes data. Moving Domino Designer to Eclipse was a big step forward in opening up the propertairy technology of the Lotus Notes development platform. The next ... |
Abstract: You don't have to convert an entire app to using XPages at once. Using the Lead Manager sample as a focus, we show how you can develop a strategy for how to approach upgrading your application to XPages. Background: The ISV Technical Enablement Team has a mission to produce ... |
Correct displaying of section from rich-text fields through xPages RichText control. Sections created using Lotus Notes client. |
I can see a new XPage type blog with new features such as themes, drop in widgets, etc. I would see this one to continue on in openntf for users that are not on 8.5.1 and greater but to have a new one that is all XPages in the ... |
If we're gonna go all-guns-blazing into XPages at the expense of the traditional design elements, we should give 'er all we got, cap'n. |
Outside of editing Xpages, many of the panels provided by DDE are of no value. Even when editing Xpages their are often periods when I do not need to see all the panels. I can use perspective or close panels. What I would often find more useful is the ability ... |
I second Roland (#12). Moving from green screens to Xpages, maybe? Hey, IBM, it's both IBM technology, so start the engines. |
@Starrow. There is often a difference between read-only and disabled. e.g. when a field is disabled it is often grayed out, whereas a read-only field would display in the "normal"color. Ideally I would like to see both provided as Xpages provides the ability to designate both properties (including the ability ... |
The issue I see with XPages is having to to do everything twice. You have to create a form and then create your XPage to pull the data. If you want something quick it would be easier to just have the one step. Personally I would rather see more of ... |
