Guys thanks for the great feedback on my session - the following link contains the presentation files for your information.
Will be upgrading and publishing the library files in this application onto OpenNTF in the coming weeks. I will also post the instructions on creating and working with OSGI libraries as discussed in my session.
getCurrentElement() null issue in Java UI Classes for Eclipse
Mon, May 21st 2012 10:57a Chris Connor Seems to be this behaviour is a "feature" of the product which may be fixed over time.

Plugin Development with Java UI Classes
Mon, May 21st 2012 7:34a Chris Connor Been working on an eclipse plugin which extends the right click menu. The idea is that it sends (creates) a bookmark type document in a central XPages "Knowledge base" database based upon the selected document. So the user right clicks to select a document and chooses the "Bookmark" option below Which provides this dialog The bookmark document contains simply 1. A subject describing the document 2. A Tag for the document (category) 3. A "Notes URL" link to take the user [read] Keywords: notes

XPages DataModels and Exporting to Excel
Fri, May 4th 2012 1:57a Chris Connor Been doing a lot of work in XPages around Exporting - so naturally built a Java Class to run as a managed bean to do this. It extends the widely documented concept of SSJS Agents in that a button redirects to a page which renders the content as Excel or whatever. So I thought - let the Excel class have different methods to do different things such as Export a view, a document collection and even the data used in a repeat control (essentially what is on screen). Package it up as an OSGI plugin [read] Keywords: xpages java

Relational XPages access for Hybrid Application access
Thu, Apr 19th 2012 2:56a Chris Connor Reaching out to the community as I am looking to canvass opinion on the best options for a project I am considering. Preference of technology is XPages. This fits with my clients ambitions and skills although they have some experience in Spring MVC and Websphere Portal (options that I can help with too). Keen on the idea of a hybrid option with XPages. By that I mean NSF / Domino 1. Workflow support (using standard Java OSGI libraries we have developed) 2.

Open Source / Free CMS and Commerce Engine
Wed, Apr 18th 2012 3:02a Chris Connor Firstly apologies for the silence - usual consultant thing of being very busy hence no time - that is no excuse though... Been doing a lot of varied work recently on top of the usual XPages stuff. WebSphere Portal, Spring / Hibernate, Spring MVC stuff. Hope to incorporate that into this blog soon. Anyway... Thought I would throw out a request to see if anyone could recommend or point towards a free open source CMS / shopping cart type application - preferably built on the Java platform [read] Keywords: xpages application

Day 1 Lotusphere - Business Development Day
Sun, Jan 15th 2012 6:16a Chris Connor Long day yesterday travelling from Glasgow via Dublin to Orlando - pretty smooth to be honest. The "new" immigration process conducted in Dublin meant that when I landed it was straight through to pick up bags - almost like an internal flight! Anyway "settled in" yesterday evening well. Great evening (although jet lag took its toll) I attempted to soldier on through to around midnight. Looking forward to the announcements and sessions of the next few days. Will be doing last minute p [read] Keywords: lotusphere

Resource Reservations advice - Wrestling with free time
Wed, Dec 14th 2011 3:10a Chris Connor Writing a booking front end using the extension library - the UI works really well and supports browser events for creation, deletion, moving etc.
The issue is "wrestling with free time". Not a lot of good information out there in terms of setting the various field values. In essence I am mailing a document to the room that is setup in the database. I then use the events to save updates / delete to the booking as required. This works well other than.....
