- 41. Benefits of XPages M 14
- 42. Benefits of XPages • Getting rid of the last 10+ years of “hacks” you have learned including: Pager controls Ajaxy stuff View design Merging data from different documents, views and databases on the same page Rich text editing Type-ahead Native CSS design Proper HTML (XHTML) • XPages provide features that rival other platforms • Less code to write • Bringing the ease of writing Notes applications to the web • You can write an entire application without writing much code M 14
- 43. XPages - What are they? BM 15
- 44. XPages - What are they? • New server task that is part of HTTP As developers who really cares about admin server tasks? • An XPage is a Java Server Face JEE Application • In Domino Designer for Eclipse (DDE) in IBM Lotus/Notes Domino 8.5 there are three “main” new design elements: XPages Custom Controls Server Side Script Libraries • All code is written in JavaScript @Functions are available - (here be dragons around!) Code, commas and case sensitivity are very important Turn on the debugger (we will show how later) BM 15
- 45. Our Focus Application - TaskJam B 16
- 46. Our Focus Application - TaskJam • We wanted to develop a simple web based task management system which met our day-to-day needs: Easily create tasks Share tasks with others Due dates Prioritize tasks Tag tasks using Web 2.0 tagging • This type of application requires: Input validation Pager controls Tag clouds Create tasks “in-line” Type-ahead B 16
- 47. Some of Our Best Practices M 17
- 48. Some of Our Best Practices • Using the Yahoo UI Library (http://developer.yahoo.com/yui) – Grids CSS - layout made easy for all “Class A” browsers: ● Internet Explorer ● FireFox ● Safari – Font CSS - Provides consistent font sizing • Simple to use - use a single page to do most things • Don’t restrict the user into task categories Set them free to add on-the-fly • Don’t add to much too much validation which would make the application hard to use M 17

- 50. Domino Designer 8.5 Walk Through ® M 19
- 51. Building TaskJam • The Layout Custom Control Making use of YUI Separating out UI from functionality • The TaskRow and Repeat Custom Controls in Home XPage Scoped variables Simple view data binding • The Task Custom Control Binding a classic Notes form to a Custom Control Validation Type-ahead • Advanced Coding - Tag Cloud More on Scoped Variables Making use of Dojo MB 20
- 61. Some other Tips and Tricks M
- 62. Some other Tips and Tricks • In the Server Document there is now a setting for “Sign agents or XPages to run on behalf of the invoker” • But it’s also worth making sure that the “Sign or run unrestricted methods and operations” setting is also completed • Debugging your database is much easier by checking the “Display Default Error Page” option in the Application Properties in Designer. • The “print” statement is also your friend, or have a look at our “OpenLogXPages” script library if you use OpenLog • Use OpenLog with all of your applications (http://openntf.org) M
- 63. More Tips and Tricks M
- 64. More Tips and Tricks • Firebug is invaluable in XPages development • Classic web development is still needed for non HTML transactions such as JSON data or RSS feeds, so agents are still required. • The Notes interface is still important for administration • We can let admins clear the caches with a simple XPage after they have changed settings in the Control Panel (resetCache.xsp) M
- 65. Looking at What We Have Learned today • What an XPage is • What a Custom Control is • How do use Custom Controls to create XPages • How to use a Server Side Script Library • Validation • Scoped Variables • Data Binding • YUI M 26
