If you're not familiar with it, the gist of it is that it gloms the Open Liberty Java/Jakarta EE app server onto Domino to allow deploying up-to-date WAR-based apps "to Domino", sharing the server's access to NSFs.

If you've been doing Java development for a while, you've likely run into a situation where you need to Base64-encode or -decode something.

Writing Domino JEE Apps Outside Domino IBM Champion 

By Jesse Gallagher | 11/9/19 10:59 AM | Infrastructure - Notes / Domino | Added by John Oldenburger

In my last post, I mentioned that I decided to write the File Store app as a Jakarta EE application running in a web server alongside Domino, instead of as an app running on the server itself. In the comments, Fredrik Norling asked the natural question of whether it'd have been difficult to run this on the server.

Another Side Project: NSF SFTP File Store IBM Champion 

By Jesse Gallagher | 11/6/19 12:48 AM | App Dev - Web | Added by John Oldenburger

When I Know Some Guys kicked off, we bought a couple of Transporter devices to handle our file-syncing needs without having to rely on Dropbox or another hosted service. Unfortunately, Nexsan killed off Transporters a couple years back, and, though they still kind of work, it's been a back-burnered project for us to find a good replacement.

By Karsten Lehmann | 11/4/19 11:24 AM | Infrastructure - Notes / Domino | Added by John Oldenburger

For years, whenever I needed to configure an Eclipse IDE for IBM Notes plugin development, I used Mikkel Heisterberg's instructions on his blog. Since I currently have a customer requirement to update an existing plugin that we built for them years ago to a newer Java version (1.8), I tried to set up Eclipse 2019-09 with HCL Notes 10.0.1FP2, but failed.

By Paul Withers | 10/29/19 2:22 PM | App Dev - Open Source | Added by Oliver Busse

After 14 and a half years at Intec, I’m moving on to pastures new. I’ve learned a lot and developed in ways that were never envisaged by anyone when I started at Intec. I’m very fortunate to have had a company that backed me, and I think we’ve both benefited greatly. But I’ve always sought to embrace opportunities and accept responsibilities throughout my career. And now is no different.

Seems to me like the first rule of software development runs something like “Don’t screw up things that have been working just fine for decades” but today we have this. Domino 10.01 FP 3. If we try to FT index any database and index attachments using conversion filters we get this.
