  • Accomodating different resolutions of references to components in composite applications
    Patent number: 8108837
    Abstract: A core idea of present invention is not only to have one fixed link/reference to one specific database, but to use a script/formula (e.g. a Notes @formula/expression) that resolves to a link to a specific database at runtime. This allows pointing to different NSFs in the development environment vs. production environment vs. any other environment. This reference (e.g., the @formula/expression) is written in a new user interface (UI) of the Lotus Notes Composite Application Editor (CAE) that is part of the current UI to define component property preferences. This UI would generate the XML below so that users don't have to do this manually.
