IBM developerWorks: Harness the power of XPages in Lotus Domino Designer - by Chris Toohey
09/25/2008 07:51:54 AM | Chris Toohey | Saylorsburg, PA
My article - where I XPage-enable a Personal Address Book, giving it a Web 2.0 user interface - has just been published over at IBM developerWorks. You'll need an IBM User ID and Password to access both the article, as well as download the 8.5 Public BETA Installation Media - which I recommend as the article includes the XPage-enabled Personal Address Book Application (in NSF) discussed in the article. Said application will be handy both for those "following along at home" when reading the article, as well as those of you who learn by ripping things apart!
Feedback - both good and bad - is greatly appreciated!
Now for those Lotusphere 2009 Abstract Submissions and getting MixMaster published...

I thought it was an excellent read. Apart from the article, I also liked that you had linked to more resources.
On a side-note. I saw that the pager supports partial refresh (Ajax-refresh). Do you know if hide-whens will have the same? Can I say that I want partial refresh on combo boxes/etc when another field changes value? If I have a view-control, is there a client-side API to call a partial refresh on the view?
It's not hard to code this behavior manually, but having it automatically would be sweet!

Thanks Tommy - I appreciate the kind words on the article!
The Pager Control does support Partial Refresh (which carried a bug which has been resolved, which resulted in Partial Refresh Pager Controls "nesting" on each click-thru). However, I don't think Combo Box, Check Box, or Radio Button Controls have the Partial Refresh option as a click-to-set Control Property. Will have to look into that...

Thks for the article, really good...
Would like to have more detail about how to use Xpages on forms (not only on views), so, when I view is clicked, Ihave a really good and attractive form on the screen... I already hate how difficult was to give a form a good appareance under web.... has this been improved ?

@Silvia:
It has, for the most part. However, one of the major benefits to using XPages is that it gives you the ability to manipulate a specified NotesDocument Collection (read: allows you to make changes to a single or many different documents) all via click-and-configure RAD.
So, the Form-level representations of your NotesDocuments may not be needed. For those situations where that IS needed, XPages do offer some benefits... but please understand: XPages are more for functional rendering than UI rendering. They rely on CSS for the UI rendering, which you will still need to use and understand to get your Web-based applications to "look" better.

There's a nice partial update-demo (combobox updates checkboxes) at the Domino Wiki:
http://www-10.lotus.com/ldd/ddwiki.nsf/dx/XPages_Partial_Update.htm
I don't know if it's possible/allowed yet, but it would be nice to be able to replicate the wiki for offline reading/"live documentation". If it's IBM that's pushing out the content at the moment, it seems like they're finally getting something done about documentation.. :)
