Deep Dive into Social Business Toolkit with XPages: The Box Integration (1)

I have been working on IBM Social Business Toolkit SDK for a long time. Last year we have introduced a couple of cool demos on IBM Connect with my friend Graham Acres.

One example was the XPages integration with Basecamp. It has been on my to-do list for months to blog more details on this topic. Finally, here I am...

This is going to be a series of blog post. What I'm planning is to blog about a basic example that integrates XPages applications with one or more cloud-based services for specific scenarios. I have selected The Box as the first example. The most important reason would probably be that I'm using Box extensively for myself :)

XPages Tip: Realizing the Cost of a Value Binding...

A little tip on XPages development...

We are binding values everywhere on our pages. Are you optimizing the way you use them?

Basic value binding is straight forward. If you use a data source, scope variable or any other property/map/list object from your bean, etc, you are good. However if you 'compute' something to get a value, that computation has a processor and a memory cost.

Mini Patterns for XPages: Using Beans for Parent - Child Documents

After a looong time, I'm blogging XPages again :)

Last time, I was blogging about mini patterns (this and that). These are partly reusable design patterns for common cases.

Today I'd like to introduce a simple pattern which I have been using in a couple of applications. This is also an example how you get benefits from Managed Beans for specific purposes. Let's start.

Changing URL in File Download Control...

After a very long period of silence, here I am with a tiny little trick about File Download Control in XPages.

I saw that there are lots of questions about this component, related to showing attachments instead of downloading them. Instead of using Repeat controls to iterate within @AttachmentNames, I'm using the native download control with a little SSJS function to solve this problem.

A Quick Question for Administrators...

Just a quick question.

Especially large domains have lots of users with the same full name. In modern directory systems, we can decrease the possibility of conflict by using hierarchical naming, however that will become an issue eventually, when you need to specify an e-mail address. I have seen that adding a number to the first or last name (John Smith , John 1 Smith, etc.) is highly popular.

How do you handle people with the same name in your environment (e.g. Domino, AD, Connections, etc.)?

BP308 - The Journey to Becoming a Social Application Developer

This is going to be my third IBM Connect and second session. Excited!

Last year, my session co-presenter was my dear friend Bruce Elgort. I feel privileged this year again, because I am sharing the stage with a great speaker, Graham Acres...

The session is all about the IBM Social Business Toolkit SDK, which has been first announced at Lotusphere 2011. After three years, we will see much more content about it this year.
