Where's HIPAA? Anyone?
Fri, Apr 13th 2012 2:09p Wil How I've heard these issues from several people now. Clinic's and hospitals seems to have issue sharing information efficiently. Namely such information as X-Ray scan, patient information, diagnostic, etc..
I was under the impression HIPAA was created specifially to resolve such issue. Why are we still facing it then? Wasn't HIPAA and multi-billion dollars endevour? Didn't it tooks years to implement?
If anyone can shed some light to the situation that'll be great. I'm trying to learn more a [read] Keywords:

That Darn RequestScope! part 2. Implications.
Wed, Jan 11th 2012 1:11p Wil How Talked with a with a very knowledgeable colleague of mine, Andrew Barickman , and tried out a couple of different scenarios using the new found "xsp.rediect = false".
We found out that with "xsp.rediect = false", the url location bar will not update itself to the current url that reflect the current page you are in.
My current understanding is that the default behaviour , where "xsp.rediect = true", the server returns the destination url to the client and ask the client to request the p [read] Keywords: linkedin

Phew....That darn requestScope!
Sat, Jan 7th 2012 2:09p Wil How Ever tried to use the requestScope and find that it's always coming back empty? Well your theory is correct, it is redirecting to another page. It's a product of JSF and how Http works. by default a http server will always check the request URL to make sure it's accurate. It will send a Http302 from the client to the server to verify the accuracy of the URL as presented by the client.
This redirect is why the requestScope is not working, even if you follow the example that's provided in the [read] Keywords: lotus

Progress without metric is just noise.
Mon, Oct 10th 2011 12:10p Wil How Coder always ask, why do I need to know how to sell? I write good code and that's enough. Unfortunately it's not. You can make all the progress you want, but if you are not able to sell your progress or make it visible, then it's all just noise. Work hard all you want and if you don't sell the visibility of your work then it's all for nough....well lesson learned.

Wed, Sep 14th 2011 10:08a Wil How I've been AWOL for a bit, for those who still frequents this blog a big thank you.
So I've been working with upload/download controls for awhile and I got started by using John's always excellent tutorials. Following the tutorial, a "Save Document" will upload the attachment and this will in turn create a document.
All was well until I came to a situation where I needed to upload the document but I really don't want to save the document just yet. After some research I discovered that y [read] Keywords: xpages javascript

Teaching XPages
Mon, Mar 21st 2011 12:36a Wil How Recently I had the opportunity and honor to teach what l knew about XPages to a client.

XPages:Did you know?
Sun, Mar 20th 2011 4:18p Wil How Did you know that computed fields is the swiss army knifes of the XPages. In the past, in Lotus Domino R4-R7, I used to use computed fields to output anything HTML. This is before the pass through html feature that came about recently. As long as I put a beginning "[" tag and then an ending "]" tag, I can pretty much stick any valid HTML that's less than 32K long and Lotus Domino will output the HTML correctly. For example [ ] will output a HTML table.

XPages Sub Environments
Thu, Mar 17th 2011 8:24a Wil How This is a picture representation of what I has posted a while back in the XPages The Basic post.
Thus essentially Lotus had preserved the 3 environments that we had knew well in the old, R4-R7, Lotus Notes. For the rest of the world these 3 sub environments are actually quite normal. The client side that resides on the server are usually dominated by PHP, ASP, JSP and in the past decade CGI scripts. Thus for our clarity, where we used to use "document.form[0].fieldname.value" , we'll now be [read] Keywords: lotus

XPages Inline Edit for editable fields.
Thu, Feb 24th 2011 2:58p Wil How 6 hours later inline edit is up. Editable Box allowed the dojoType to be "inlineEdit" doesn't allow for the editor attribute which is critical for dojo's inline edit to work. Without the editor attribute, it prohibited the dojo inline edit to show up at all. Well, after struggling for better half of the morning, I just got it working. I will update with more information and hopefully an example soon.

XPages:Did you know?
Mon, Feb 21st 2011 9:22a Wil How I've always seen and knew about try/catch methods in the modern java and javascript environment. However, being someone from a Lotus Notes background, the try/catch doesn't come instinctively. We'll usually use the debugger, On Error and/or msgbox to trap errors. With Xpages I find that using the following try/catch statement is the most effective way of trapping errors. For the most part I'm able to get some sort of usable information from the resulting error message.

XPages:Did you know?
Sat, Feb 19th 2011 1:02a Wil How In the all properties of the Custom Control or XPages, there is an attribute called "Computed With Forms", select "both".
This tells the XPages to compute all underlying fields in the Notes document. There for if you have a complex @Formula that you really would not like to rewrite in Xpages, compute with forms allows you to get the value by using document1.getItemValue("fieldname")[0]

Table with repeat control and JSON
Sat, Feb 19th 2011 12:13a Wil How JSON is a very portable way to handle data. With JSON we can do away with all the custom delimiter such as double semi colon, (;;), double colon(::), tilda(~), etc There is no need to manipulate a string to extract the data. With JSON it's very easy to extract the data., all you have to do is Object.data. Thus I decided to use JSON to store the cells of my table and using repeating panel to generate the rows of the table.The data is stored in a notes text field in the following format.

Mon, Feb 14th 2011 12:44a Wil How There is a visible attribute with every single object on the XPages. However I always prefer to use inline Display:none As this is part of the normal javascript and it's easier to manipulate than the visible attribute.

XPages:Did you know?
Fri, Feb 11th 2011 12:37a Wil How Do you sometime notice that document1.getItemValue("fieldname") returns the data with the square brackets on each end? Such as [12345] instead of 12345 The workaround for this is similar to the way we get data in LotusScript. document.fieldname(0). Thus if we put the square bracket with the sub zero like this document1.getItemValue("fieldname")[0] the data returned will be the first instance in the field and it will not have the square brackets at either end of the return value.

XPages:Did you know?
Mon, Feb 7th 2011 12:41a Wil How Did you know that XPages by default executes the Client javascript and then the Server side javascript before it submits the XPage? Therefore you can pause and break the process by return false as the final output of the Client javascript and XPage will stop the process. The default is return true Thus is nothing is specified, XPage will always assume the return is true.
