IBM Lotus Domino Designer 8.5 Versions 8.5 and 8.5.1
Basic component design guidelines
Use the following guidelines when designing your IBM® Lotus® Notes® and Eclipse components.
NSF components
Use the following guidelines when designing your NSF components:
Forms -- If you are creating a form to use as a composite application component, be aware that it may be positioned in different areas of the screen, and combined with multiple other components.
Fields -- If you are creating fields that will be used in a composite application component, be aware that it may be combined with multiple other components.
Pages -- If you are creating a page to use as a composite application component, be aware that it may be positioned in different areas of the screen, and combined with multiple other components.
Folders -- Folders may be used as components in composite applications.
Navigators -- Navigators may be used as components in composite applications.
Properties -- Determine ahead of time the properties that the component(s) will publish and share
Actions -- Determine ahead of time the actions that the component will perform when it is wired to the property of another component
Eclipse components
Use the following guidelines when designing your Eclipse components:
Properties -- Determine ahead of time the properties the component(s) will publish and share
Actions -- Determine ahead of time the actions the component will perform when it is wired to the property of another component.
To build NSF components and applications (Notes databases), use IBM® Lotus® Domino® Designer. To build Eclipse components and applications, use an Eclipse integrated development environment (IDE) or RAD.
