Notes 8.5 - interesting design refresh observation
Refreshed the design of a database modified using Domino Designer 8.5 (Eclipse version) in Notes 7.0.2 and discovered some of the new stuff now stored in the NSF. See screenshot below. Especially the WEB-INF/classes/plugin/Activator.class makes me wonder what kind of Java stuff is stored in there now...
Re: Notes 8.5 - interesting design refresh observation
Well I can relieve some of the tension... :-) The Activator.class is normally used in plugins to control lifecycle (start, stop etc) and the MANIFEST.MF is for controlling dependencies etc. The .project and .classpath files are Eclipse files for project and Java classpath settings. Why they are stored in the NSF when no, Java related, changes has been made beats me though.
Re: Notes 8.5 - interesting design refresh observation
It is because Domino Designer 8.5 creates project for every database when opened. These files are also visible after changing perspective in designer to some "standard" one. Also then you can see DXL sources of some elements and Eclipse LotusScript editor preview :)

Servlets in Domino aren't managed within the nsf-file but in the file system. The Domino admin. help should tell you what you need to know. Please note that the servlet engine in Domino is servlet spec 1.2 (or there about) so it's very much outdated. You don't even use web.xml files in this release.
