14. <br />
15. When creating the connection to a DomSQL database, you can do it with getConnection and the name of a .jdbc config file:
16. <br />
17. <pre><code>public static Connection getConnection() throws SQLException {
18.    return JdbcUtil.getConnection( FacesContext.getCurrentInstance(), "nameOf.jdbc" );
19. }</code></pre>
20. <br />
21. Or use createConnection and specify the path for the connection:
22. <br />
23. <pre><code>public static Connection getConnection() throws SQLException {
24.    String dbPath = null;
25.    try {
26.        dbPath = ExtLibUtil.getCurrentDatabase().getFilePath().replaceAll( "\\\\", "/" );
27.    } catch( NotesException exception ){
28.        // Ignore
29.    }
30.  
31.    return JdbcUtil.createConnectionFromUrl( FacesContext.getCurrentInstance(), "jdbc:domsql:" + dbPath + "/nameOf.domsql" );
32. }
33. </code></pre>

48. <br />
49. One would think it should be pretty straightforward, but it took me around three hours to figure out how to do it. I accidentally discovered the way to do it while making a custom control with one field for date and one field for time. The custom control was meant to combine the two values into a date/time value. Luckily there's a simpler solution.<br />
50. <br />
51. Source for Norwegian Date/Time picker:<br />
52. <pre><code><xp:inputText id="dateTimePicker" value="#{document.date_time}">
53. <xp:this.converter>
54.  <xp:convertDateTime pattern="dd.MM.yyyy HH:mm" type="both" />
55. </xp:this.converter>
56. <xp:dateTimeHelper>
57.  <xp:this.dojoAttributes>
58.   <xp:dojoAttribute name="constraints" value="{ datePattern : 'dd.MM.yyyy', locale: 'no', timePattern: 'HH:mm' }" />
59.  </xp:this.dojoAttributes>
60. </xp:dateTimeHelper>
61. </xp:inputText>
62. </code></pre>
63. <br />
64. I tested/this should work on Domino 8.5.3 and Domino 9.

I suspect this has something to do with the dialog having it&#39;s own form. To make it work inside the dialog, I added a parameter for the execId. If I remember correctly, execId specifies the part of the XPages tree that should be processed. It can be the same as the target of the refresh.&lt;br /&gt;
67. <br />
68. Example of use with execId:<br />
69. <pre><code>XSP.partialRefreshPost( '#{id:targetOfRefresh}', { execId: '#{id:targetThatShouldBeProcessed}' } );</code></pre>
70. <br />
71. I had some issues getting partial refresh triggered by radio buttons to work as I wanted to across browsers. I found a simple workaround. Instead of specifying the partial refresh in the event handler, I set no submission for the server side part, and execute a slightly delayed XSP.partialRefreshPost from the client side event action:<br />
72. <pre><code><xp:radioGroup id="someId" value="#{document.someField}" defaultValue="yes">
73. <xp:eventHandler event="onclick" submit="false">
74.   <xp:this.script><![CDATA[setTimeout( function(){
75. XSP.partialRefreshPost( '#{id:targetOfRefresh}' );
76. }, 50 );]]></xp:this.script>
77. </xp:eventHandler>
78. <xp:selectItem itemValue="yes" itemLabel="Yes" />
79. <xp:selectItem itemValue="no" itemLabel="No" />
80. </xp:radioGroup></code></pre>

83. <br />
84. I called <b>Document.setPreferJavaDates( true );</b> to ensure that no (Notes)DateTime objects were created as I didn't need them/didn't want to deal with recycling.<br />
85. <br />
86. First I tried:<br />
87. <b>Document.getItemValueDateTimeArray( "fieldname" );</b><br />
88. This returned a Vector of DateTime.<br />

90. Then I tried:<br />
91. <b>Document.getItemValue( "fieldname" );</b><br />
92. This also returned a Vector of DateTime.<br />

94. The way that finally worked as expected (returned a Vector of java.util.Date) was this:<br />
95. <b>Document.firstItem( "fieldname" ).getValues();</b><br />

Code snippet updated with workaround.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
98. <br />
99. A colleague of mine had some issues with an XPage running in an iframe on a customer's website. The customer notified us that some users with Chrome/Safari had issues with the page going blank.<br />
100. <br />
101. When doing partial refresh, the page went into a reload loop. I did a quick check, and couldn't find anything wrong with the code. I believe it has something to do with <a href="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6125741/iframe-cross-domain-cookies-p3p-policy-and-safari-with-error-a-required-anti" target="_blank">cross domain cookies</a> and Webkit.<br />
102. <br />
103. My workaround was to have a script block that adds the SessionID parameter that was previously added in certain circumstances on earlier versions of XPages. The script block is only loaded for Chrome/Safari, and the code only runs when the XPage is in a frameset/iframe.<br />
104. <br />
105. <pre><code><xp:scriptBlock>
106. <xp:this.loaded><![CDATA[${javascript:return ( context.getUserAgent().isChrome() || context.getUserAgent().isSafari() );}]]></xp:this.loaded>

138. <br />
139. In relation to an experiment I'm working on, I wrote a Java test agent to find the fastest way to get note id's from a view/fetching document values from documents in a view.
140. <br />
141. <br />
142. Here are the results from the benchmark:<br />
143. <div>
144. <br />
145. <div>
146. <img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhj3PZezLOw70ArfWpdcg2r8727yjwqzMQlyB8YpcSET8KXEq4v0oVhetRq2V3WxN8ocTxD35wwjmxcPXy88Hr8ffrV6XDyTqxh85ZlIFtoJG1NfbApTGjrKq-BYTPLOsEnJn88_LuSZN-1/s1600/benchmark_results290613.png" /></div>
147. <br />
148. <br />
149. All numbers are milliseconds. The code was run on a desktop computer (Core 2 Duo/Windows XP).<br />
150. <br />
151. The benchmark code is written so that I think caching on the server is avoided between tests. What's interesting from the results is that it seems like it's marginally faster to fetch the note ids from the view/open the document by note id if you want to read values from the document.<br />
152. <br />
153. If you want to run the benchmark in your application, here's the source code:<br />
154. <a href="http://files.dontpanic82.com/NoteIdDocumentBenchmarkSource.txt" target="_blank">>> Download</a></div>
155. <br />
156. The code is designed for running the test agent in a browser. Change the constants TEST_VIEW_NAME to the name of a view you want to test, and TEST_FIELD_NAME to a field name that the documents in the view have.<br />
157. <br />
158. If you run the benchmark/get different results, let me know :)</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://dontpanic82.blogspot.com/feeds/5416911083413386287/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3745504982837212509&amp;postID=5416911083413386287' title='8 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3745504982837212509/posts/default/5416911083413386287'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3745504982837212509/posts/default/5416911083413386287'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dontpanic82.blogspot.com/2013/06/benchmark-fetching-noteids-and.html' title='Benchmark: Fetching NoteIDs and documents from view'/><author><name>Tommy Valand</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11052104644034054473</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhj3PZezLOw70ArfWpdcg2r8727yjwqzMQlyB8YpcSET8KXEq4v0oVhetRq2V3WxN8ocTxD35wwjmxcPXy88Hr8ffrV6XDyTqxh85ZlIFtoJG1NfbApTGjrKq-BYTPLOsEnJn88_LuSZN-1/s72-c/benchmark_results290613.png" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>8</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3745504982837212509.post-766555800875529533</id><published>2013-05-21T09:53:00.001+01:00</published><updated>2013-05-21T09:53:31.804+01:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="checkboxes"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="layout"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="xpages"/><title type='text'>Custom Control for custom layout of checkboxes</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot;&gt;
159. In a recent project, I wanted to create an interface to toggle different settings for different user types in an app. To save real estate on the page and (hopefully) make it more intuitive, I wanted to have a column per user type, and organize the checkboxes vertically.</div>
160. <br />
161. I couldn't find any way to do this out of the box. To make it work, I made a regular checkbox group per field. Then in a repeat control, I have regular HTML checkboxes with name fetched from the real checkbox group. The checkbox group has to have the same values as the HTML checkboxes, or the values will be discarded.<br />
162. <br />
163. The checkbox component is removed from the DOM via javascript when the page loads. If the real checkbox component isn't removed, you will only be able to select, and not deselect.<br />
164. <br />
165. Screenshot from the demoapp (each checkbox <strong>column</strong> is bound to a <strong>multivalue field</strong>):<br />
166. <br />
167. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
168. <img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEip96ZBPK4MkyDEVaN8snyHB-RCRy0KXXjqIfk4QIYwedhZVaYQz6T2Le05R3DtuJDQXSB5bz6vPHv_GkvEY5kOcImeN4q0hzpI6M5zHzl2qu4nVVRGhHJcrKUdfQfgwEb3o41aq36ESP4j/s1600/screenshot1.png" /></div>
169. <br />
170. <div class="separator">
171. The custom control has four properties:</div>
172. <ul>
173. <li><b>checkboxValues: </b>Array of strings - Values for the checkboxes</li>
174. <li><b>fieldNames: </b>Array of strings - Names of the fields in the form you want to connect the checkboxes to (remember to set them to multi-value in form)</li>
175. <li><b>headerLabels: </b>Array of strings - Header labels for the checkbox columns</li>
176. <li><b>rowLabels: </b>Array of strings - Labels for the checkbox rows</li>
177. </ul>
178. <p>Currently, the custom control uses currentDocument to bind the fields. If the control doesn't work, you might need to use a more specific document data source.</p>
179. <b>Example usage</b><br />
180. <pre><code><xc:CheckboxTable checkboxValues="#{javascript:return ['inbox','outbox'];}"
181.   fieldNames="#{javascript:return ['hidden_items_administrators','hidden_items_users','hidden_items_limited_users'];}"
182.   headerLabels="#{javascript:return [labels.administrators, labels.users, labels.limitedUsers];}" rowLabels="#{javascript:return [labels.inbox,labels.outbox];}" /></code></pre>

184. The demoapp has been tested/works in these browsers: IE8/9 (should work in earlier browsers, but the layout is ugly), latest versions of Chrome, Firefox and Opera.

193. You need to use the <a href="http://dontpanic82.blogspot.no/2010/01/xpages-hijackingpublishing-partial.html">partial refresh hijacker</a> to use the code snippet.
194.  
195. <br />
196. <br />
197. This code snippet initializes Dojo Tab Containers/Dojo Content Panes in the area that's refreshed:<br />
198. <pre><code>// Fix problem with partial refresh on Dojo Tab Container/Content pane
199. // Source for inspiration:
200. // http://www.openntf.org/projects/pmt.nsf/0/D228115FAA98DDEC86257A7D0050E7FF
201. dojo.subscribe( 'partialrefresh-complete', this, function( method, form, refreshId ) {
202. var tabContainersAndContentPanes = dojo.query( '[id=' + refreshId + '] .dijitTabContainer[widgetid], ' +

209.  var widgetId = tabContainersAndContentPanes[i].getAttribute( 'widgetid' );
210.  var widget = dijit.byId( widgetId );
211.  if( widget ) {
212.   widget.startup();
213.   widget.resize();
214.  }
215. }
216. } );</code></pre>
217. <br />
218. Add the code snippet in a dojo.addOnLoad function or something similar.
219. <br />
220. <br />
221. If you have other widget types that fails to initialize, just modify the selector/startup commands to fix.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://dontpanic82.blogspot.com/feeds/1847300796569778690/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3745504982837212509&amp;postID=1847300796569778690' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3745504982837212509/posts/default/1847300796569778690'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3745504982837212509/posts/default/1847300796569778690'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dontpanic82.blogspot.com/2013/03/fix-for-partial-refresh-on-dojo-tab.html' title='Fix for partial refresh on Dojo Tab Container/Content Pane'/><author><name>Tommy Valand</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11052104644034054473</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3745504982837212509.post-1585314383911476365</id><published>2013-01-18T10:05:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2013-01-18T10:05:09.858+01:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="code snippet"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="lotusscript"/><title type='text'>Small LS class that can be used to check if fields have changed</title><content type='html'>We&#39;ve had some issues with semaphore locks on one of our import databases.

298.  
299. Regarding the errorMessage-function in the class. I use error bubbling in all my LS code. If something fails somewhere in a routine, I want the routine to stop executing. At the top of the stack, I use OpenLog/LogError. This gives me a nice pseudo stack of the function calls.<br/>
300.  
301. Code for errorMessage function:<pre><code>Function errorMessage As String
302. '// Simple function to generate more readable errors when dealing with error-bubbling
303. Dim message As String
304. message = Error
306. If CStr( GetThreadInfo(10) ) = "INITIALIZE" Then
307.  errorMessage =  "Error " & Err & " on line " & Erl & " in function " & GetThreadInfo( 10 ) & ": " + Error
308. Else
309.  errorMessage =  Chr(13) + Chr(9) + "Error " & Err & " on line " & Erl & " in function " & GetThreadInfo( 10 ) & ": " + Error$
310. End If

I only want to close the dialog if all fields are valid. I&#39;m not aware of any inbuilt XSP methods that does this.
312.  
313. This code snippet checks for any invalid fields in the dialog. If all fields are valid, the dialog is closed.<br />
314. <pre><code>function closeDialogIfValid( dialogId ){
315. var invalidCount = dojo.query( '[id="' + dialogId + '"] [aria-invalid="true"]' ).length;
316. if( invalidCount === 0 ){
317.  XSP.closeDialog( dialogId );
318. }
319. }</code></pre>
320. This probably only works if you're using server side validation.
321. <br />
322. <br />
323. If there is something like this in the XSP API, please let me know.

327.  
328. Today, I looked for a solution to automate this. This line will clear all objects related to a session:<pre><code>facesContext.getExternalContext().getSession( false ).invalidate();</code></pre>
329.  
330. If you want to clear session when logged in user changes for the current "XPages" session, here's the snippet I use (put the code in <strong>afterPageLoad</strong> or <strong>beforePageLoad</strong>):<pre><code>// Reset session when user changes
331. var currentUserName = sessionScope.currentUserName;
332. var userName = session.getEffectiveUserName();
333. if( currentUserName && userName !== currentUserName ){
334. facesContext.getExternalContext().getSession( false ).invalidate();
335. }  
336. sessionScope.currentUserName = userName;</code></pre>
337.  
338. I would think this is better than deleting the cookie, as the server is immediately notified that it should flush the objects bound to the session. When I delete the cookie, I believe that the objects are kept in memory until a specified timeout.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://dontpanic82.blogspot.com/feeds/4820415641417861177/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3745504982837212509&amp;postID=4820415641417861177' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3745504982837212509/posts/default/4820415641417861177'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3745504982837212509/posts/default/4820415641417861177'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dontpanic82.blogspot.com/2012/09/snippet-to-clear-session-for-user.html' title='Snippet to clear session for user'/><author><name>Tommy Valand</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11052104644034054473</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3745504982837212509.post-6347085600875832843</id><published>2012-08-20T13:17:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2012-08-20T13:17:02.729+01:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="random tip"/><title type='text'>Comprehensive guide to Design Definitions</title><content type='html'>I found this guide in IBM&#39;s Application Development wiki while looking for information on Design Definitions:&lt;br /&gt;

345. <br />
346. I got this error message on refresh:<br />
347. <pre><code>java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: argument type mismatch</code></pre>
348. <br />
349. The issue turned out to be a somewhat inconsistent underlying API. When the field is empty, or has single value, it tries to set a string. When there are multiple values, it tries to set a list.
350. <br />
351. <br />
352. To work around the issue, have the getter return an Object, and the setter accept an object.<br />
353. E.g.<br />
354. <pre><code>
355. public Object getInputMulti() {
356. return this.inputMulti;
357. }
358. ...
359. @SuppressWarnings( "unchecked" )
360. public void setInputMulti( Object inputMulti ) {
361. if( inputMulti == null ){
362.  this.inputMulti = null;
363. }
365. if( inputMulti instanceof String ) {
366.  Vector<string> inputNameList = new Vector<string>();
367.  inputNameList.add( (String) inputMulti );
368.  this.inputMulti = inputNameList;  
369. }
370. if( inputMulti instanceof List ) {
371.  this.inputMulti = (Vector<string>) inputMulti;
372. }
373. }</string></string></string></code></pre>
374. <br />
375. You can have the translation for the setter be done in a utility method.
376. E.g.<br />
377. <pre><code>@SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
378. public static Vector translateToVector( Object object ){
379. if( object instanceof String ){
380.  Vector list = new Vector();
381.  list.add( object );
382.  return list;
383. }
385. if( object instanceof List ){
386.  return (Vector)object;
387. }
389. return null;
390. }</code></pre>
391. <br />
392. Then, for the setter:<br />
393. <pre><code>
394. @SuppressWarnings( "unchecked" )
395. public void setInputMulti( Object inputMulti ) {
396.  this.inputMulti = UtilityClass.translateToVector( inputMulti );
397. }</code></pre>
398. <br />
399. Example of multi value fields: Checkbox group, multi value fields (fields with multipleSeparator), list boxes.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://dontpanic82.blogspot.com/feeds/5495798709195752436/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3745504982837212509&amp;postID=5495798709195752436' title='5 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3745504982837212509/posts/default/5495798709195752436'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3745504982837212509/posts/default/5495798709195752436'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dontpanic82.blogspot.com/2012/06/multi-value-fields-and-beans-in-xpages.html' title='Multi value fields and Beans in XPages'/><author><name>Tommy Valand</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11052104644034054473</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>5</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3745504982837212509.post-629834549934068016</id><published>2012-06-22T16:36:00.002+01:00</published><updated>2012-06-22T16:36:28.496+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Update for Enhanced Messages Control - Show &quot;system&quot; messages</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;In response to &lt;a href=&quot;http://www-10.lotus.com/ldd/xpagesforum.nsf/topicThread.xsp?action=openDocument&amp;amp;documentId=3CD3F04270CA2F5585257A25004B90E4&quot;&gt;this question&lt;/a&gt; on the XPages Forums, I&#39;ve updated the source code for my &lt;a href=&quot;http://dontpanic82.blogspot.no/2011/07/custom-control-for-enhanced-validation.html&quot;&gt;Enhanced Messages Control&lt;/a&gt;, so that it also shows messages not bound to controls.&lt;/p&gt;

408.  
409. <p>If you are done dragging and dropping columns from the view to the view panel/etc. Go into source mode and compute the viewName.</p>
410.  
411. <p><strong>Before</strong>
412. <pre><code><xp:dominoView var="view1" viewName="MyView" /></code></pre></p>
413.  
414. <p><strong>After</strong>
415. <pre><code><xp:dominoView var="view1" viewName="${javascript:return 'MyView'}" /></code></pre></p>
416.  
417. <p>When the view name is computed, Domino Designer can't determine what view it should check -> No more lag.</p>
418.  
419. <p>I haven't tested this with Document Data source, but you might get a performance boost if you compute the formName as well, as Domino Designer won't have to check the fields for drag/drop.</p>
420.  
421. <p>Optimally I would wish the Designer team implemented a refresh fields/columns button for the data pane.</p>

424.  
425. <p>Due to a lot of positive posts about using <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JavaBeans">beans</a>/MVC pattern for developing XPages apps, I've started writing more Java and less SSJS.
426. I really like the performance improvements/stricter structure of code.</p>
427.  
428. <p>In one of my recent apps, I wrote a Model class for each of the forms in the app. The class has fields for all the form fields. Whilst writing the app, I thought about using Java <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reflection_(computer_programming)">reflection</a>/Domino Form to auto populate the class instance. Java reflection lets you fetch methods from classes using their name (as a String). The Form class contains methods that lets you fetch all the declared field names in the form.</p>
429.  
430. <p>A couple of advantages to using auto population of fields is less code to maintain (~less bugs), and "auto discovery" of typos in either field names or getters/setters. If you call a field firs_name (typo), and write getters/setters for first_name, using the methodology I use, the code would crash, and you would instantly be aware of some error. If you use some kind of logging, you could look at the stack trace to determine what failed.</p>
431.  
432. <p>A couple of disadvantages. Using reflection/fetching field information adds a slight performance penalty. I don't notice any slowness, but it's something to be aware of if you're aiming for light speed/serving the entire Republic of China on one server. :)</p>
433.  
434. <p>In most of my apps, I use underscores to separate "words" in my field names. To make this work with reflection I convert the underscore field names to ProperCase, and prepend get/set.</p>
435.  
436. <p>
437. E.g.<br />
438. Field: first_name<br />
439. ProperCased: FirstName<br />
440. Getter: getFirstName<br />
441. Setter: setFirstName<br />
442. </p>
443.  
444. <p>In the attached DemoApp, I have a helper class that deals with the most common field types. It has two methods:<br />
445. <b>setObjectFieldsFromDocument( String form, Object object, DominoDocument doc )</b><br />
446. <b>setDocumentFieldsFromObject( String form, Object object, DominoDocument doc )</b>.</p>
447.  
448. <p>The first parameter is the name of the form that you want to use as "<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XML_schema">schema</a>" for the population of the instance fields. The second parameter is the Java instance. The third parameter is a Document wrapped in a simple helper class.</p>
449.  
450. <p>The demoapp has a XPage that uses a controller bean (PersonController) to handle interaction with the model (Person). It's bound to view scope. When the XPage is loaded, it checks for a parameter (id). If id is available, the controller uses <b>setObjectFieldsFromDocument</b> to populate the model. When save is called, the controller uses <b>setDocumentFieldsFromObject</b> to update the underlying Notes Document with values from the model.</p>
451.  
452. <p>If this sounds interesting. Download the Demoapp, look at the Person XPage for the data binding, and use Package Explorer to take a look at underlying java code.</p>
453.  
454. <p>I'll just add the source code for the Person model class, in case some of you fear that everything in Java is complex</p>

If you would like to create a banner that links to this page (i.e. this validation result), do the following:

1. Download the "valid Atom 1.0" banner.

2. Upload the image to your own server. (This step is important. Please do not link directly to the image on this server.)

3. Add this HTML to your page (change the image src attribute if necessary):

   <a href="http://www.feedvalidator.org/check.cgi?url=http%3A//feeds.feedburner.com/dontpanic82"><img src="valid-atom.png" alt="[Valid Atom 1.0]" title="Validate my Atom 1.0 feed" /></a>

If you would like to create a text link instead, here is the URL you can use:

http://www.feedvalidator.org/check.cgi?url=http%3A//feeds.feedburner.com/dontpanic82
