Domino Web applications

What are XPages?– A new design element for Domino Designer– A runtime designed to generate modernWeb applications

Brings State-of-the-Art Web technology to Domino 8.5– Leverages Java Server Face based, proven Java runtime,

from Lotus Component Designer– XPages are designed for generating modern Web

applications• Built-in Web 2.0 features

Solves problems expressed by the Domino community– Known limitations are addressed

"XPage technology drastically reduces the time it takes us to develop Domino applications. We no longer need to spend time developing client side JavaScript/Ajax code since many of things we built in this manner are now core features of XPages. Additionally, the ability to more easily leverage standard techniques like CSS makes building a compelling user experience much easier."
