What is a Feature Pack?

A “Feature Pack” delivers features, in addition to fixes. Our intent is to provide Feature Packs at a cadence of 3-4 per year

o Notes / Domino 9.0.1 will be the baseline release and future updates will be delivered as feature packs on top of 9.0.1. This provides a mechanism for continuous delivery and eases deployments

o There are ”core” technical elements required to support the longevity of Domino applications and these are of the highest priority in the upcoming Feature Packs

Feature Packs – An App Dev Perspective

Introductions

Feature Packs – An App Dev Perspective

Feature Packs work well with XPagesXPages has been able to provide enhancements outside of the regular ND release cycle

Many XPages enhancements have been provided on OpenNTF.org via the XPages ExtLib project *

ExtLib enhancements have been re-integrated to ND core in all feature releases since 9.0

* XPages ExtLib is by far the most successful OpenNTF project to date with ~ 90K downloads

* http://extlib.openntf.org

Traditional Model

Feature Packs – An App Dev Perspective

Up to now… XPages enhancements come from two different sources1. XPages core depends on new Notes/Domino core features

e.g. Document encryption requires new Java APIs for access to the Domino user id vault and user id itself

2. ExtLib releases which are always based on ND capabilities available in most recent core release

e.g. Responsive capabilities was easy because everything needed to integrate Bootstrap was already there

Since Feature Packs allow new APIs, same model can be applied to FPs…i.e. OpenNTF enhancements can be integrated into future ND Feature Packs

Feature Packs – An App Dev Perspective

Integrating OpenNTF enhancements into Feature Packs meansA continuous delivery model offering a more frequent refresh cycle than before

Less to do in terms of XPages Ext Lib upgrades, installs etc

As a open source contributor you can get your favorite thing into a ND Feature Pack !

Built-in granular control over the version of XPages you want to work with…Feature Pack numbers will be added to the Minimum Supported Release menu in Domino Designer

Each XPages property is versioned in a way that supports Feature Pack delivery

Summary – Document Encryption / Decryption on the Web

What do you need for doc encryption on the web ?

1. Notes/Domino FP8 is the minimum release

2. Domino IDVault must be running in your server environment

3. Domino Security

• Users must have privilege to do encryption

• Ref: Notes Admin > Server doc security tab

4. Document encryption must be enabled on a per-NSF basis (opt-in)

• App Config > Xsp Properties > General > Data Sources

22

Summary – Document Encryption / Decryption on the Web

• Docs can be automatically decrypted by the XPages runtime

• Low code or No code required on the XPage

• Docs can be encrypted using secret or public/private keys

• Designer experience is simplified using wizards, pickers and @Functions

A Look to the Future…

But this is what is REALLY exciting…

• An Eclipse upgrade means you can take advantage of Java 1.8 features in

• XPages, Custom Controls, Managed Beans

• Java Agents

• Java Design Element

• It gives us the opportunity to take advantage of modern Eclipse tooling

• Source control plug-ins (EGit, SCN, CVS etc)

• Updated Editors and Tooling (e.g. JavaScript enhancements, Bluemix)

• Latest Community Projects

• OSGi components requiring the modern implementations can be dropped in once again

Work is in Progress
