• Rest service property "xe:customRestService" causes error

    By Gunther Pelzer 10 years ago

    Using the Rest Service control with property "xe:viewJsonService" works fine. If i change the "service" property to "xe:customRestService" it will display the following error:



    Cannot find the library "com.ibm.xsp.extlib.library" with tag version 8.5.32001, to be used by the page/RESTServices_1.xsp. The library tag version is blank.

      Hi. That exception message indicates a version mismatch problem.
      “8.5.32001” is the openNTF release:
      ExtensionLibraryOpenNTF-853.20120126-0415.zip
      Released on: 26 Jan 2012
      null/blank is the 8.5.3 Upgrade Pack 1 release, or any openNTF release prior
      to the introduction of versioning.

      The tag xe:customRestService was added to the extension library in the release with version “8.5.32001”. That exception message indicates that your Domino Designer is using a version that contains that tag - so Domino Designer's extlib install is from 20120126-0415 or later,
      but that the runtime environment or server where the application is running contains an older version of extlib, where that tag is not present. So neither xe:customRestServices nor any other tags added in more recent releases will work on that server running the older version.

      You may want to investigate upgrading the version of the extension library running in that runtime environment. The runtime environment may be the Domino Server, or the Notes client or a Domino Designer Web Preview server, depending on where you're trying to run the app.
