Woke up as a very poorly 35 year old this morning. Just as I thought I'd escaped the tummy bug the kids and Karen have had over the past few days it goes and wipes me out on my birthday. Kids.

Karen had arranged a surprise meal at "Nottingham's best restaurant" - the ever-hard-to-book  World Service. Looks like we may have to cancel unless I make some miraculous recovery. Damn those kids and their bugs.

Back on my 31st birthday I wrote:

I know it's just a number and everything, but this one feels a lot more depressing than 30 did. What must 35+ be like? Best not to think about it I suppose.

So, what is 35+ like? Too early to say, but it does sound "old", the more I dwell on it. Heck, I'm half way to 70!

One thing I have noticed as I pass through my thirties is that I am finally becoming a man. Anything under 30 and you're still just a boy really. Life begins at 35...

For the last couple of months I haven't had need to launch Flex Builder at all and, so, I've not really talked about it here much.

Now though I am getting back in to it as I have a fairly in-depth project on at the moment for which I'm using Flex to great advantage. Flex Builder has been permanently open for the last week or so.

Since this requires brushing up on my Flex skills I've also been taking the chance to update the Howlett accounts application. Notice in the shot below I've added a semi-circular spendometer and a seven-segment display. Both of which are part of the iLog Elixir addons for Flex.

image

The spendometer shows how much we've spent so far in the current month. The aim being to keep it out of the red bit at the top end of the scale.

The numeric display shows us how much we've spent so far in the current year compared to the same period last year. The aim is to keep it green (a negative number), which means we've spent less that we had in the previous year. As you can see we're off to a good start (by this time last year we'd been to two weddings, one of which I was the best man at and needed to buy a matching suit for).

What this shows - I hope - is how easily you can add useful features to Flex apps. The two changes above took my no more than an hour to plugin.

Anyway, what I'm getting round to saying is that I have some stuff I want to share with you. Over the next few days/posts I want to talk about the way in which I've started developing Notes-like Views and Forms in Flex. When done it should give you some idea how you can build a basic Notes-like application in Flex.

Jake Howlett has started a series of articles to help you get a Flex app to integrate with a Domino backend. This first lesson is concerned with building views.

Right then. Here goes with the first in a series of Flex posts that will cover some of the basics of a Flex app to integrate with a backend Domino site. By the end we should have a working application that you view, edit and create documents from.

First I want to cover views. In Flex we use a (Advanced)DataGrid to render a view. This is something I've shown how to do before and isn't exactly rocket science; when the Flex app loads it triggers a GET request for the XML of the view. When the XML is received it tells the grid to use the XML as its DataProvider and it all appears in the grid.

Here's the Contact Manager we're going to build:

image

For now it's just a grid with a couple of rows of data in it. All very simple. What I wanted to discuss here is a technique I've started using in all my Domino-based Flex apps, which makes it a little easier to make "design" changes to the grid.

As I'm sure you know, users like to constantly request new columns be added to views. Every time you need to add or remove a column from a view you really don't want to have to change the Flex app's code.

Because the Flex app itself is a compiled Flash file, any changes you need to make to it require you to launch Flex Builder, make the change, recompile and then import the new SWF file in to Domino Designer, which will mean the user has to download the whole app again (~600kb). We want to avoid having to do this as much as possible.

So, what I now do is include the column definitions as part of the XML data. Here's what the XML looks like when you open the vwContactsAsXML view:

image

The XML contains two main child elements - the columns and the documents. The documents come from a simple "Treat as HTML" view like below.

image

The column definitions are added on the Form called "$$ViewTemplate for vwContactsAsXML", which looks like this:

image

All very straight-forward, no?

In Flex we now need to programmatically add all these columns at "run time". To do this we use the same function that is called when the XML has loaded. The same function that usually just updates the DataProvider of the grid to the <documents> in the XML.

The function looks like this:

private function handleContactsXML(event:ResultEvent):void{ //Update the DataProvider of grid, which is bound to {contacts} contacts = new XMLListCollection(event.result.documents.document); //Custom columns var columns:XMLList = XMLList(event.result.columns.column); var cols:Array = new Array(); for each (var column:XML in columns){ var col:AdvancedDataGridColumn = new AdvancedDataGridColumn(column); col.headerText=column.@label; cols.push(col); } //Grid is the name/id of the AdvancedDataGrid! grid.columns = cols;
}

Still, all very simple. Load the demo application to see it in action. It's just the bare bones at the moment. As I add new bits over the coming posts you should see it slowly turn in to a working application. For now, hopefully, you can see the benefit of the above approach. Using this technique makes adding and removing columns from "views" a lot, lot simpler.

In the next post I'll look at taking it one step further and using the column definition to add more control over their appearance and behaviour.

Idea:
Domino server, when running on Windows platforms, should fully support VSS and shadow copy for backup. It's been around since Win2k3.
 
 
<blockquote>
VSS operates at the block level of the file system.

Snapshots have two primary purposes: they allow the creation of consistent backups of a volume, ensuring that the contents cannot change while the backup is being made; and they avoid problems with file locking. By creating a read-only copy of the volume, backup programs are able to access every file without interfering with other programs writing to those same files.</blockquote>

Using the native backup tools that ship, you can't backup Domino when running on AS/400, er, System i, er POWER i, er IBM i for POWER systems. 
 
Since IBM lock-stock & barrel owns & codes Domino & the IBM i, this should be possible.

Given that, I'd really like to tell my users that they won't have to wait 1-2 years for Domino to support it.

 In Domino Admin, in the right click menu, "open in designer" and "delete database" are right next to each other.  Bad idea (IMHO).
 
Maybe put "Delete database" with the menu separators around it? (see picture)

This white paper provides an overview and recommendations for how to get the most from your IBM Lotus Notes 8.5.1 client on the new Citrix XenApp 5.0 server. In particular, we show that, by tuning your environment so that you get the most from your applications, you can realize significant improvements in running the Notes client on XenApp. This is true for both the standard and the basic configurations of Lotus Notes. Moreover, the new support for Microsoft Windows 2008 SP2 by Notes 8.5.1 together with memory improvements means we can scale to even higher numbers than before at a much reduced cost. Also presented are the testing environment, tuning parameters, and the workflows that were executed to gather the scalability data on Notes 8.5.1.
