Application Development Futures● IBM is focusing on three key aspects of application development
▬ Social capabilities▬ Mobile enablement of social apps▬ Speed – Enabling rapid application development and deployment
● Domino can deliver on all three today, but we want to enhance our support going forward
Get Social. Do Business.
45
XPages as OpenSocial Gadgets
XPages
OpenSocial
● Provide an OpenSocial container, and participate in embedded experiences, generate gadgets out of XPages
46
XPages: Mobile Applications● Seamlessly extend your applications to mobile devices
▬ Provide a dedicated set of controls▬ Deliver a native look and feel▬ Tap into device services▬ Leverage dojox.mobile & HTML5
● Delivery▬ Today – mobile custom controls on OpenNTF▬ Tomorrow – XPage controls on OpenNTF and in Domino
47
Improving Platform Extensibility with OSGi● OSGi - Open Service Gateway Initiative (http://www.osgi.org)
▬ Open source Java based framework▬ Highly modular: Maximize reuse of third party eclipse based components▬ Lifecycle: Bundle Activator improves Java resource management▬ Extensible: Service Registry and extension points
● Motivation ▬ Improve server extensibility
▬ Simplify server add-in task implementation with Tasklet container▬ Easily add 3rd party libraries (i.e. XPage Extension library)
▬ Better componentization (modularization and extension points)▬ Maximize asset reuse ▬ Leverage existing Eclipse based tooling for OSGi
● HTTP server capabilities in Domino Next▬ Full fledged Servlet container by integrating the XPD Web Container▬ XPage applications running as WAB (Web Applications Bundles)▬ Rest APIs
48
REST Services for Domino● Two types of services
▬ One tied to Domino data model: Domino Access Services▬ Get handle to documents and collections of documents▬ Target two types of applications
● ATOM format – Allows applications that already know ATOM to easily consume data feeds
● JSON for easy manipulation via JavaScript or Java▬ One exposing higher level business services
▬ For example: Calendaring & Scheduling▬ Base on standards where they exist and ensure consistency across the portfolio
● For example: iCal● Built on top of OSGi so both types of services are extensible
▬ Looking at various libraries to facilitate customization of existing and building of new services
