Custom Control for custom layout of checkboxes
Tue, May 21st 2013 4:09a Tommy Valand 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.
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 checkb [read] Keywords: firefox

Fix for partial refresh on Dojo Tab Container/Content Pane
Wed, Mar 20th 2013 4:05a Tommy Valand I wrote this a while back, but I couldn't find that I'd shared it.
You need to use the partial refresh hijacker to use the code snippet.
This code snippet initializes Dojo Tab Containers/Dojo Content Panes in the area that's refreshed:

Small LS class that can be used to check if fields have changed
Fri, Jan 18th 2013 3:02a Tommy Valand We've had some issues with semaphore locks on one of our import databases. The import database has routines that import/update data, then replicate it to a cluster when it's done.
We're not exactly sure what triggers the locks, but the server crashed sometimes several times a day, so we decided to see if the import routines could be optimized to do as few writes as possible.
Several of the routines saved documents even if there were no field changes. I wrote a simple class to test for [read] Keywords: database

Code Snippet - Close dialog if all fields are valid
Fri, Oct 12th 2012 12:42a Tommy Valand Today I was working on a dialog that had fields with validation. I only want to close the dialog if all fields are valid. I'm not aware of any inbuilt XSP methods that does this.
This code snippet checks for any invalid fields in the dialog. If all fields are valid, the dialog is closed:
function closeDialogIfValid( dialogId ){
var invalidCount = dojo.query( '[id="' + dialogId + '"] [aria-invalid="true"]' ).length;
if( invalidCount === 0 ){
XSP.closeDialog( dialogId );
}
}

Snippet to clear session for user
Thu, Sep 6th 2012 4:42a Tommy Valand During testing, I sometimes log in as different user to test hide/whens/etc. I used to delete the SessionID cookie in the browser to clear session scoped beans/sessionScope variables.
Today, I looked for a solution to automate this. This line will clear all objects related to a session:facesContext.getExternalContext().getSession( false ).invalidate();
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 afterPa [read] Keywords: xpages blogger

XPages - Grouping data in comboboxes
Fri, Jul 27th 2012 6:29a Tommy Valand I wanted to have some values grouped in a ComboBox. Not sure if it's possible to do with pure SSJS (without using the Java API), but found a way using beans:

Multi value fields and Beans in XPages
Mon, Jun 25th 2012 4:10a Tommy Valand I had an issue with multi value fields bound to bean fields in an XPages I worked on.
I got this error message on refresh:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: argument type mismatch
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.
To work around the issue, have the getter return an Object, and the setter accept an object.
