Skip to main content

Why are my scripts giving 404 errors and "content not found"? They are RIGHT THERE.

By
To future me (and anyone else who comes across it):

WebContent/ is the root folder for resources. Not WebContent/WEB-INF/. WebContent/WEB-INF/ is actually protected and hidden from the browser, even if you explicitly include it in your URL. So put your /js/ folder and /css/ folder under WebContent/ and not WebContent/WEB-INF/.

Future you will thank you for remembering or for checking here before spending several hours trying to figure out why this isn't working. Again.

You're welcome.

- Past you.

Pass data between XPages and existing LS scripts

By
I'm working on modernizing a fairly hefty application with a lot of existing script libraries which we want to leverage within the XPages environment. Here is a technique that works very well. First, create an in-memory document in SSJS. We can set any input values needed for the back end. Then we pass that document to a LS Agent which can work it's magic using the values set in SSJS and use the same document to return values back to the XPage. Here is how it works in detail:

Fixing FontAwesome for Windows 10

By
I ran into an issue with FontAwesome a few months back, where a NoCache header was being injected at the server and FA was broken for any partial refresh. I convinced the admin to reverse that setting and all was well until last week... We had some users who were not getting any icons to appear. Ever. We tracked it down to a new Windows 10 setting for IE11 which disallows untrusted fonts. Since we do not set security protocols for our users, and there is no chance of ever convincing those admins to change this policy that they explicitly turned on, I had to find a new solution. I did some searching and it turned out to not be too difficult. First, here is the original implementation. The theme: <control> <name>Icon.Search</name> <property mode="override"> <name>tagName</name> <value>i</value> </property> <property mode="concat"> <name>styleClass</name> <value>fa fa-search...

XPages Application Framework (Part 2 of ?)

By
In my last post, I offered a very rough overview of the framework I've been building and adapting. Full credit where it's due, I've been borrowing and adapting from Jesse Gallagher's XPages Scaffolding - an awesome project that I've learned a great deal dissecting. This is one of those projects that, if you make the effort to truly understand it, will give you entirely new tools and approaches for problems. As usual, I've learned the most changin g things and breaking them. My project differ s f rom Jesse's mostly in that it supports 8.5.3 and doesn't require any relaxed security permissions - bec ause I'm on 8.5.3 and because the admins h ere will not grant any relaxed permissions.
