Domino Designer: Strange behavior java source files

chatFrank van der Linden 5 February 2010 10:16:51
I am experience some strange behavior.

On my local Domino 8.5.1 server I have some databases with custom java files, e.g. RSS Reader control and Tree Xpage control.
In the package explorer you can see this

When I want to edit a java file after a while, I am missing the files in the package explorer.
It looks like

The code still function when you load the Xpage in the browser.

So after modification a java source file a export it to my file system as a backup.

Has anybody an idea what is wrong? Or is it a bug??

On OpenNTF is a very cool project.
I have just installed this project from the catalog.
I think a must have for every Domino developer who wants something with Xpages.

It's an easy way to get the custom controls from OpenNTF. Developing of Xpage application made easy.

Prototype to display outline content in the Tree Xpage control

chatFrank van der Linden 2 February 2010 14:54:43
Stephan H Wissel dropped a comment at our Domino weblog about my modification of the OpenNTF Tree Xpage control.
He asked about some help with Outline content display in this Tree control.

Today I have build a little proyotype.
- I copied a outline to a database
- made some extra java methods.

This is the result.

The link is not working properly. I had to figure out what to do in the onClick event.

Will Traveler run on it? Does IBM already support it?

Just kidding, just kidding ;-)

Would be nice though!

RSS custom control

chatFrank van der Linden 18 January 2010 11:40:37
One of the requirements of the current Xpage project was to aggrigate RSS feeds on the website.
First I tried with a AJAX call, but it gave some complications with cross domain calls.
At last I have created a Java class in the database, who is called by Server side javascript  in the custom control.

2 parameters are required.
- url of the feed
- boolean to latest entry or a list.


Below is a screenshot, with the custom styling

Extending dijit.Tree with refresh method

chatFrank van der Linden 14 January 2010 18:57:44
Today I was using the dijit.Tree to generate a Tree of a Notesview.
After posting a document I wanted to refresh the tree.
After some searching on the internet I discovered dijit.Tree has no such method.
But I also found some code to extend the dijit.Tree with a refresh method.

Add this code to your page

And you are able to call the refresh method, like

dijit.byId('mytree').refresh()


 

Sort of Form override with Xpages

chatFrank van der Linden 13 January 2010 17:07:36
On my current Xpage project I discovered a nice feature.
On the second tab of the Forms properties box in DDE, you can override the form with a specific Xpage.
Cool feature, because you can remain friendly URL's and use all new cool Xpage features to display the page.
