Description Framework for developing Notes client or Domino Web applications the object-oriented way, applying the MVC pattern


assono Framework 2 is a great fundament for developing modern Notes client and Domino Web applications. It consists of a system of LotusScript classes, forms, views etc. which fulfill most non-functional requirements for applications thus you can concentrate on the specific requirements of your current project.

Some features are:
- base classes like BaseModel, BaseController, BaseViewController
- derived classes like MonitoringModel and BusinessModel
- relations between documents
- logged deletions with backups
- item-level history for documents
- keywords: values, lists and pairs; with defaults
- export any view to Microsoft Excel
- advanced error handling
- logging (local or central log db)
- context-sensitive help
- "Latest News" announcements
- serial numbers
- lots of utility classes and functions

assono Framework is built using object-oriented LotusScript around the Model View Controller (MVC) pattern. Creating a new form involves creating the form itself ;-) and subclassing the a Model and a Controller class, defining such things as field constraints (mandatory, formats, ranges) or a field-level history.


The framework is bi-lingual: English and German and allows to create mulit-langual applications.


See http://www.openntf.org/Projects/pmt.nsf/ProjectLookup/assono+Password-Safe for a sample application using this framework.


Projects can have short and readable URLs, e.g. http://mobilecontrols.openntf.org.

You can request a short URL to your project by sending a mail to support at openntf dot org. Put the word 'OpenNTF' somewhere in the subject.
Owners are the people with maximal rights. For example they can create releases and add more contributors.

In order to define multiple owners use "," (comma) as separator.

Because of data privacy you cannot lookup other people's names but you have to type them in.
Enter the contributors or owners here who you want to receive notifications and questions by email.

In order to define multiple owners use "," (comma) as separator.

In addition to the owners additional OpenNTF contributors have to be listed here. Contributors don't have the same access rights as owners, e.g. they cannot create releases.

In order to define multiple owners use "," (comma) as separator.

Enter a short description of the project here (up to 100 characters).

The short description shows up in the project UI and in some of the views.
In this field you should enter a more detailed description of your project.

You can use the rich text editor for rich text formating. You can also enter HTML to embed objects, e.g. to embed a YouTube video or a screenshot of the project.

Please note that the first time you use the new UI your description is converted from rich text to MIME. You might want to copy and paste the raw plain text from the old UI in the new UI so that you don't loose information.
