Using Ajax to manipulate Lotus Notes documents

I just got an [tag]article[/tag] published on [tag]DeveloperWorks[/tag] regarding [tag]Ajax[/tag] and [tag]Lotus Domino[/tag]:
Using Ajax to manipulate Lotus Notes documents

Update:

The sample database attached to the article is errenous. A working version can be downloaded here. I have notified my editor and are waiting for guidelines.

Update 2:

Due to copyright reasons I’m not allowed to keep the sample database in this blog. IBM have been provided with the working sample database and an update should be online soon. Have patience.

Update 3:

The updated version of the sample database is now on-line at IBM again. DIRECT LINK TO DATABASE

    The file at Notes.Net is local encrypted!

    I have the same problem opening the updated database. Looks like this one is locally encrypted too.

    That’s really odd. According to the database properties it’s no locally encryption active. I have made a new note-copy of it in a desperate try to make it work. According to one source it should work now. Please give it a try.

    Congratulations with the article! I wish I could implement AJAX To-Do list on a PocketPC but it doesn’t support javascript.
    I can not open the database either (locally encrypted error), I tried in Notes 7. I guess those who can open it, downloaded it from another (country-specific?) IBM server than I did. Hopefully the change will be activated on all servers sooner or later, but I wouldn’t count on that.

    Thanks Andrei, I understand you have a finger in this aswell.

    We have successfully implemented an Ajax-pattern driven application on Blackberry, they support JavaScript. It’s strange that PocketPC doesn’t, is that for all PocketPC or some specific models/versions?

    Sorry, I was wrong about Pocket PC. I’ve just tested a simple AJAX example and it works. I was probably thinking about some other similar technology like Java or ActiveX.

    Hi, when I run the Demo, I gets this error:
    HTTP Web Server: Application Exception - Documents treated as HTML cannot be edited [/IBM/AjaxDemo_part1.nsf/$$viewtemplate%20for%20xmlview?OpenForm]
    what am I doing wrong?

    Dagerot Joachim said June 26, 2006, 1:43 pm:

    There should not be ?OpenForm but ?ReadForm in that sentence. The demo-files overall is working. Are you accesing the database via the index.html file resource?

    Sorry, but I’am a rocky in Notes web app.
    I just called the “$$viewtemplate for xmlview” document is the wrong?

    open up the application with:
    http://yourserver/thedatabase.nsf/index.html
    and everything will work.

    Replace yourserver and thedatabase with you real values.
