Big-Time Tips and Tricks for Your IBM Lotus Domino Web Applications: The Great Code Giveaway! (BP303)
Tags: Lotusphere2006
Been to this session - to be recommended absolutely.
Rob Novak and Viktor Krantz showed 4 example which definitely count as tipps how to architecture applications using Lotus technology.
Definitely a session you should attend if you are a domino web developer. The code will be published to download (but - as they said - only if you were on the session). There is a repeat on Wednesday at 16:15 - which is in about 15 minute from now (I'm not keeping up... just to much to see and do to have time to blog...)

Been to this session - to be recommended absolutely.
Rob Novak and Viktor Krantz showed 4 example which definitely count as tipps how to architecture applications using Lotus technology.
- The started with a solution how to automatically create thumbnails when uploading images to a web application using a WebQuerySave agent which makes use of the core java functionality (JVM > 1.3, I think, so you must use Domino 6.5 or higher for this). We already did similar things, but the code is good and just downloadable.
- Then they showed a solution how to make calendar views usable using a browser, using Ajax. The great idea behind this is that they are facilitating as a central place to administer the settings and also as a repository to have all the JS and LS code in one central place. And it looks cool too.
- Third thy showed a Sametime bot, which monitors a database for documents in a specified category, goes online if there are documents in this category and offline it not. This enables users to "subscribe" to those categories and get an - unobstrusive - alert if there are interesting documents available. You can even start a chat with the bot and get a list of the documents or - by specifying the number of the document - the text contents. Written as a java application.
- Last but no least the demoed a database which can also be used as a central control database, where users without designer client and designer access rights can set preferences for a view using a wizard, enabling in-view editing of several documents in the web browser, sorting by columns (including correct sorting of dates) and a lot of other cool stuff.
Definitely a session you should attend if you are a domino web developer. The code will be published to download (but - as they said - only if you were on the session). There is a repeat on Wednesday at 16:15 - which is in about 15 minute from now (I'm not keeping up... just to much to see and do to have time to blog...)
