Technically this sample shows how to
invoke Java from the server side JavaScript so that the standard Java classes
java.net.HttpURLConnection and org.apache.commons.digester.rss.xxx can
be used to retrieve the data.
To kick off the OpenNTF Featured Project
of the Month we are going to start off with two projects that were recently
selected for the 2010 Lotus Awards.
Import Controls from OpenNTF Catalog via Domino Designer
Category
As mentioned in a previous
blog entry
we want to push the concept of reusable controls. A resuable control is a list of arbitrary design elements that are compilable, it contains simple unit tests and can easily be used in custom apps.
Yi Guo who has done all Eclipse programming and Stephan Wissel have provided a new tool that allows importing controls from the
OpenNTF catalog
directly into your Domino app via Domino Designer. The tool has been implemented similar to other Eclipse based import features. A wizard allows selecting a control from the catalog via the embedded browser displaying a lightweight catalog user interface that I've provided.
Congratulations to Bruce Elgort of Elgugi Software and Corey Davis of Conyxys for their election to the OpenNTF Steering Committee. Thanks to all three candidates for making the time and effort to run for this position. We are excited to have Bruce and Corey join the group, and look forward to their participation.

Frank van der Linden: New Release of XPages Tree Control
Category
Frank van der Linden used the XPages
Tree Control for a new web site. The control was a good starting point
but didn't support everything necessary which is why Frank had to extend
it.
In the spirit of our open source community
he contributed his extensions back to OpenNTF today. Frank describes in
his blog
entry the two new custom control
properties for icons and links. Here is the catalog
entry.
In order to help developers to get started
with XPages and to help experienced XPage developers to be more efficient
we would like to provide more reusable XPage controls. The complexity of
these controls can vary from very simple ones to really sophisticated controls.
The project contains a sample showing
how to implement an application for the iPhone via XPages that looks similar
to a native XPages application. In addition to the code Mark has documented
here
how his sample works. He explains how to solve the first issues everyone
runs into when doing iPhone development: how to hide address bar of browser,
how to format the page, how to create a homepage icon, etc.
