Domino 8.5.3: Greater Power Over Dojo. Thanks IBM For Your Work

@Howard yes, it was added post-CD5 and wonderfully highlights the power if the new OSGi plugin functionality.

Incidentally, this is why you need to ensure "Use runtime optimised JavaScript and CSS resources" is unticked, otherwise you'll still see Dojo 1.6.1 loaded from the plugin by Firefox. I only found this out myself just a couple of weeks ago, too late for anything to be done about it.

Apologies, my mistake, @Nathan is right. That's what I get for looking at my own server which uses a non-standard configuration.

Per Niklas (and I checked the rendered html in the gold release), 1.6.1 is served up for XPages. The files are stored in OSGI as a plug-in. I think CD5 served up 1.5.1 so IBM must have added this after CD5.

My first comment was wrong.

The beauty of this approach is that you can downgrade the Dojo version for an NSF, if you really wanted to, to Dojo 1.5.1, which presumably also has the xspClientDojo and other IBM files. I'm assuming that the Dojo naming conventions of 1.5.1 and 1.6.1 are to avoid conflicts with any existing implementations of Dojo 1.5.0 because XPages always runs the highest numbered Dojo version, a nice plan.

Of course, if you want to add your own Dojo modules, the plugin means you can't put them on the server. The approach will be to store them in the NSF as script libraries or, for ease to support XPiNC and browser, as File Resources.

Nathan is right. The beauty is that we could now even deploy future Dojo versions (e.g. 1.7) as OSGi bundles without having to wait for a new product release.

@Thomas the xpages runtime serves up 1.6.1. It's non-xpages that get dojo 1.5.x

To clarify, there are two new Dojo versions, 1.5.1 for the XPages runtime, and 1.6.1 for OSGi (you can find it in \osgi\shared\eclipse\plugins\com.ibm.xsp.dojo.8.5.3.20110922_1130.jar

- Thomas, IBM.

8.5.3 ships with Dojo 1.5.1 (I just installed the server and checked the directories) along with the older versions.

I wonder if Niklas had a typo in the "1.6.1"?

Thanks Paul - I will check it out.

I don't think it needs to be static, but if you try to store any Notes element (View, Document, Entry, Item etc), that's unlikely to work because of recycling. XPages Help Application has examples of Application Scoped managed beans holding data, for which I create a class to hold the variables from the underlying Notes documents. { Link }

If you go onto the Index, bear in mind the latest downloadable version has a bug where I refactored a method name, in cc_viewIndex Custom Control, the text and link should be help.getLevel()

Paul - apologies slightly off topic but still XPage related ;-)

Just trying to find someone to confirm that to use the application scope for a Java Bean it needs to be a static class. i.e. got a NAB lookup which is cached in the bean as an ArrayList so subsequent calls dont have to perform a lookup to the expensive db.

I could only get it to retain the cache if I used a static class - do you think this is correct or have I ballsed up my Java code? Was going to fo a blog article but would hate to state the wrong thing.

Actually, iNotes 8.0 also offered side preview (not just preview on the bottom).

@Nathan it's certainly taught me loads. Thanks for your time.

@Toby after spending half a day trying to work out why I was getting a NullPointerException when developing the application, exacerbated by the fact that I was able to log getTitle() from a recycled NotesDatabase object, I have to agree with you!
