Working with the Lotus Notes Client I came across the necessity of working with graphs.
The opportunities were:

• Integrate with third-party products, which will require installation on your PC ( RMCHART (http://www.brothersoft.com/rmchart-35638.html) is a very good library);

• Using Microsoft Excel, if it is installed on your PC, creating a template that is then filled with data and processes them in a chart
  

Then I thought, why not use Google Charts?

So I did a test, that list step by step.

1. In the form that contains my data to process I created a pass-thru <computedvalue> containing the URL of Google (ie "http://chart.apis.google.com/chart?cht=p3&chd=s:Uf9a&chs=250x100&chl=January|February|March|April")
2. I opened the document with the form above, and I noticed a picture with a "red cross"
3. Right click on the picture I noticed the option "Show images", selecting the image appears correctly

Everything ok, but how to avoid each time you select "Show images"?

If you go on the properties of the document you will notice that there is a field "$DelayedImages" to 1, when the red cross is shown on the image
However if you have selected the option "Show Images" has a field  "$DelayedImagesOK" set to "ok".
So, in document form, i've created a computed field "$DelayedImagesOK" with value" ok "and you're done!

This is the result

There is not to boast, but perhaps the development team RedTurtle found a bug in the engine of XPages 8.5.2.

It's happened during the development of an application where we had to connect a datasource to a Xpage. It appears that, in case you have two forms with the same alias, the list of available fields always refer to the first of two forms that is found in the list (we know, it's a very bad practice assigning same aliases to different forms, but we inherit this scenario from someone else...)

Only renaming the alias you obtain the right binding of the fields, even if the engine allows you to refer to the two blur.

By submitting the matter to two of the leading experts on the subject, Bob Balfe and John Mackey, we had confirmation that the problem exists.

UI Architect for IBM Workplace Designer has been alerted and will investigate the problem.

You will be posted ...

Oracle and IBM today announced that the companies will collaborate to allow developers and customers to build and innovate based on existing Java investments and the OpenJDK reference implementation. Specifically, the companies will collaborate in the OpenJDK community to develop the leading open source Java environment.

This is done instead of putting multiple entries in a single field,  but the problem comes from the fact that the notes mail document includes a 'Received' field for every server it has passed. 

Lotus Notes give us a documented method that gets the text values of the Received items in a mail document.

stringArray = notesDocument.GetReceivedItemText( )

But sometimes it doesn't work...

Agent message: Received Item is not standard format - access with GetItemValue

Thanks to Raymond Neeves for his great function

After calling this, you can simply access all values of Received field with

Forall v In doc.Received
    msgbox v
End Forall

It is the second time in a couple of days that I am asked why in some pages there is no link to the @@manage-portlets view. In both cases the archetypes missing the link (and the view) where inheriting from a very basic object.

After a small research I found that this view is registered for the interface plone.portlets.interfaces.ILocalPortletAssignable.

Making the object interface inherit from this interface solved the problem.
