By Jesse Gallagher | 10/8/19 12:55 AM | App Dev - XPages | Added by John Oldenburger

Around the start of the year, I took a little time to see if I could get XPages as it exists today running outside of a Domino server, specifically inside Open Liberty. I met with a good deal of success, finding that I could run stripped-down apps "freely" inside a normal WAR web app.

By Daniel Nashed | 9/29/19 6:08 AM | Infrastructure - Notes / Domino | Added by John Oldenburger

For one of my test servers I needed a proper certificate. A self-signed cert works in many cases. But creating your internal CA has benefits. You can have the CA root trusted in your brwoser etc. I needed a certificate for a local test server today and used the script I developed for the Docker project.

By Dmytro Pastovenskyi | 9/25/19 7:30 AM | Infrastructure - Notes / Domino | Added by John Oldenburger

For those who are still running Domino v9 (or below) here is a LotusScript library that can parse JSON into something useful. I implemented it some time ago and since that time almost had no issues with it. Since many customers that did not migrate to v10 (and probably won't do that in near future) it could be very useful to them.

One of the big amendments in Domino V11 is pub sub. It brings a lot of potential, but only with the proper understanding of how to leverage it. It's a concept many Domino developers may be unfamiliar with, but one that has a lot of parallels in web development.

I noticed this a while ago since I am using Domino V10 but now I did some investigation. For some reason the toolbar button to add a new image from a file was missing. This is the action that presents you a dialog where you could choose a file to upload. This is how the full toolbar looks like on Domino 9 and before.
