New THE VIEW article is out!
I'm happy to say that my newest article is online at THE VIEW website. The article is on managing and provisioning lotus.domino.Session objects to plug-ins in Sametime Connect 7.5.1 - a subject that's a little tricky due to the native code underneath the Notes/Domino Java API and due to the way that classloaders work in Sametime Connect/Expeditor.
For the ones who's already on Sametime 7.5.1 please see the errata (http://lekkimworld.com/theview_sametime).
Article abstract:
Take the mystery out of providing multiple Notes sessions from Sametime Connect. Plug-in developers find that running multiple Sametime plug-ins that access Notes at the same time is tricky; the reasons are due to how the Sametime 7.5 Java application-programming interface (API) differs from the one Notes uses, and how Java class-loaders load native library code on Windows. The solution provided in this article uses a bundled group of plug-ins, invisible to connect users, for managing lotus.domino.Session objects across other plug-ins. You also learn how to achieve fast plug-in deployments with automatic Connect configuration, plus easier plug-in maintenance. The solution code is available for download at THE VIEW Web site.

Citrix and AJAX - one bad combo?
Anyone using AJAX type-ahead controls under Citrix? I have been working on a customer solution using the select-widget from the dojo toolkit but it doesn't work correctly in Internet Explorer under Citrix (you can type ahead but cannot use the arrow keys to select from the choices). Just checked script.acolou.us and their autocomplete widget doesn't work either under Citrix either (same issue). Previously I have been using a solution I developed myself but really want to go mainstream...
Show 'n Tell Thursday: Showing a progress bar / joining threads (24 May 2007)
Well it has been a long time since my last SnTT post so here we go. This post is on showing a progress bar from a Java agent while loading data in another thread. This post is based on a post on developerWorks.
