Over the years I have worked with a few portal products like Websphere, Aptrix, Oracle, Tibco, and about a dozen PHP open source solutions. My current employment has me working for an organization with some bad experiences with Java (write once, twice, and again…) and have decided that for web development projects we will use […]
So a recent request about sending mail from other applications prompted me to write a quick and dirty LotusScript agent that could send an e-mail from an XML request. This was enough to get the developers going but it also opened up the dialog about standardizing XML calls around the organization. The method that […]
So I had a few requests recently on how to send a mail, via Notes, from Visual Basic. I responded with the typical answer for developers to use the Notes COM interface, with the option to use the LDAP service for directory information. The problems with the COM interface are that it is Win32 […]
Why would you want to do this? Why not? In my case, I just go tired of all the free services that provide this data going down for extended periods. That, and the uber-geeky desire to know how it was computed. I use this same code, translated to PHP, for my new […]
I mentioned a while back that I was handling some development overflow around the office and I got stuck trying to convert a Notes app to the browser, where no forethought for this contingency had been used by the developers. There are a hundred things, about doing this type of conversion, that I hate, […]
I recently posted about talking back XML from Domino apps since I had never had to use the R6 LotusScript parser classes that Domino now has. In the same spirit, I thought I would post on how to parse inbound XML using the same classes.
Traditionally, most Domino developers used the Request_Content property/field to […]
First, in the process of writing this post, I had a nagging feeling that I was missing something. I could not shake it but I wrote the post anyway and saved as a draft. I did some research and found that I had essentially done something the hard way. A new feature added to […]
After years of having to create XML streams in Domino by concatenating strings, I wonder why it took so long before I had to create an XML response with LotusScript using the R6 DomParser. We have had the ability to use Java to do this, and I think that is the main reason why I […]
So I got stuck helping around the office with some of the development overflow. I am migrating a Notes/Domino client application to a web browser, which is always a chore if the original developer gave little thought to this eventuality.What I find myself doing is frequently saving the document the user is working on.
This […]
When you are talking about portals, you will find it hard to steer clear of the topic of XML. Whether it is plain old XML/RPC calls or SOAP, a well architected portal will rely heavily on applications hosting there own logic and exposing this logic with XML. I recently have been working with […]
