XForms, XFDL and Lotus Domino

administrator — Mon, 22 Jun 2009 13:37:16 -0400

Just ran across a good developerWorks article on Integrating Lotus Forms with Lotus Domino.

Domino is a web application and web services platform that is often used in combination with the Lotus Notes rich client platform. However, as this article shows, it is possible for Domino to have broader reach out to all web browsers without a large client-side installation. The intelligence and interactivity of XForms are combined with the high precision presentation layer of XFDL to describe a rich client experience, but the Lotus WebForm Server is used to convert that to HTML and AJAX that is natively understood by the web browser. The net result is that XML data processing and web services from Domino servers are extended right out to the webtop.

Of course, if you do have the Lotus Notes client platform installed, then the story gets better because the Notes replication capabilities can be brought to bear for when a user needs to work in offline/disconnected mode. You can also use the Notes Composite Application Framework to create mashups involving Lotus Forms and other application components deployed to the Notes client. Whether you use the Lotus Forms Viewer or the Lotus Forms WebForm Server to render a Lotus Form in Notes application component, you have access to a running Lotus Form using an API. This gives you getters and setters, of course, so you can push data from other components into the Lotus Form, but you can also set up event listeners that are notified of changes made within the Lotus Form, so you can push changes from the Lotus Form to any other component in your mashup.

But net-net, if you want to extend your Domino applications and services beyond the usual enterprise IT boundaries and get access to new B2C and G2C market opportunities, using Lotus Forms is a way to do it. See the new article for technical details.

Consuming DB2 Web Services with Lotus Forms

administrator — Fri, 12 Jun 2009 16:45:41 -0400

Check out this developerWorks article for a step-by-step guide to deploying a DB2 web service and then consuming that web service using the Lotus Forms Designer.

Once the WSDL for a particular DB2 web service is pulled into your Lotus Forms Designer, you select and autogenerate a data instance and a specific service, drag-and-drop the data instance onto the design canvas to autocreate the user interface, and then generate the run-time XForms submission for the service. The article above shows exactly how to do each step.

A smart XForms client and a smart interface to the server database mean no custom code in the middle. Thus, computing power is made available to a broader class of IT knowledge workers who require only forms and database skills. Process democratization in action.

The Way Forward for HTML5

administrator — Fri, 05 Jun 2009 02:39:44 -0400

Despite all the excitement about the possibilities that HTML5 offers for a better world wide web, I believe there is a critical flaw in the go-forward plan of those who are feeling the momentum. The problem is that they still haven't got ~80% of the web browser makers on board! By which I mean they haven't got you-know-who.

There's really only one way to break the loggerjam and move forward with advancing the state of the web. We need to get you-know-who out of the way of progress by showing that we can innovate on the web with or without their participation. We have now shown that this is feasible by way of the ubiquity strategy based on our ability to deliver an interactive web application language in multiple web browsers with no client-side plugins and no server-side processing of the language. Click here to visit the project.

For all web advancement technologies, including HTML5, the longer term effect of the ubiquity strategy should be that the late bloomers are shamed into implementing the advancements, thereby obviating the need for the ubiquity code. But meanwhile the ubiquity strategy is the way to enable web advancement technologies including HTML5 to emerge (in the proactive verb sense of the word).

Angels and Demons... and XForms

administrator — Fri, 29 May 2009 20:19:29 -0400

So, I went to the movies recently and saw the new Dan Brown flick Angels and Demons. Probably not much of a spoiler to mention that the plot suspense is derived from the need to defuse an antimatter bomb placed somewhere in Vatican city, and everybody's favorite symbologist is called in to decipher the clues that may help lead to its location.

And they only have until midnight to find it. And the baddies are going to kill a Cardinal every hour before the big bang just to prove how serious they are.

As a taunt, the baddies provide a webcam view of the bomb, which is in a place lit by artificial light. So, someone in the story has the brilliant idea of shutting off the power around town until they see the lights go off where the bomb is located, and the law enforcement folks dutifully begin working through each section of the power grid in sequence.

This is the point where I had some difficulty maintaining a sense of edge-of-your-seat suspense. It seemed to me that they could find out where the bomb was located before the baddies killed their first Cardinal by turning off half the power grid, then a quarter, then an eighth, and so on just like a binary search. I managed to force myself out of this funk and enjoy the movie by convincing myself that nobody in the story would have reasonably known about a binary search, but the point remains that relying on the right algorithm can save you a lot of brute force work.

In the case of deciding whether to use an XForms-based solution or to hand-roll your own data-intensive web application with a pile of javascript to drive the client-side, it's the same issue really. Do you want to do a lot of brute force work yourself, or do you want to benefit from the topological sort algorithm built into the XForms computation engine? In a world of angels and demons, the declarative updating of XForms is like a get out of hell free card. The problem with the imperative approach of javascript is that it's process-based (step-by-step) whereas client-side usability is best served by a less structured, more free form experience. Users pick what they want to update and when, and the program has to be responsive to all permutations of their behavior. Better to let the machine figure out how to keep everything in synch. That's why we have machines.

navindex and accesskey

administrator — Tue, 05 May 2009 09:33:01 -0400

Recently I added an initial implementation of the navindex and accesskey attributes to Ubiquity XForms. Both attributes enable an XForms author to improve the navigation experience for their users; navindex by defining the order in which form controls are navigated and accesskey by defining shortcuts for navigating to particular controls.

The implemented behaviour is not yet completely in accordance with the spec, because the defined behaviour for group, repeat and switch has not been implemented. That will follow in due course, but the important thing right now is that enough has been implemented to pass the W3C test cases 4.3.6.b and 8.1.a. This is because improving the XForms user experience was not the sole motivator for doing this work. XForms 1.1 itself requires at least one working implementation of these attributes in order to proceed along the W3C recommendations track. Since none of the other implementations were reporting a pass for these attributes, we felt obliged at webBackplane to do the necessary work on Ubiquity XForms. In fact, we have taken this same position on many issues for the same reason. Hopefully, this means that everyone gets to benefit from XForms 1.1 soon reaching full recommendation status.

It's a happy birthday...

administrator — Mon, 27 Apr 2009 13:57:12 -0400

Happy birthday to me!

Here's to XForms ubiquity;

In FireFox and IE.

Happy birthday to me!

But seriously folks, IBM is a proud sponsor and contributor to the Ubiquity XForms open source project, and the Lotus Forms team has exciting plans for capitalizing on the ability to have XForms support directly within a web page.

Gone is the distorting lens of limitations imposed by the fraction of language features that the dominating browser makers are prepared to support today. The Ubiquity movement is all about freeing us, as consumers of the interactive web, to express open standards for software that meets our customers' technical requirements and deploy our solutions directly to the web.

Gee, with all this birthday fun, the next thing I really ought to do is go on a Safari!
