IBM Domino Designer XPages User Guide
This guide focuses on the aspects of creating applications using XPages technology.
Programming
XPages uses JavaScript™ for programming while the forms-based design elements use the formula language, LotusScript®, Java™, and JavaScript.
Scripting in XPages
The scripting contexts are event handlers and formulas. The scripting language is JavaScript™ supplemented by simple actions and expression language (EL).
JavaScript™ debugger
Use the JavaScript™ debugger to examine server-side JavaScript code during execution on a Domino® server or a Domino preview server (which runs on the Domino Designer client).

IBM Domino Designer XPages User Guide
This guide focuses on the aspects of creating applications using XPages technology.
- Product overview
  IBM® Domino® Designer supports applications development for the IBM Domino platform using XPages, forms, views, and other elements such as controls.
- Tutorials
  This section contains tutorials and information about tutorials.
- Administering applications
  IBM® Domino® Designer provides features for administering and managing your work and related files while developing your application projects.
- Designing XPages applications
  IBM® Domino® Designer provides the means to populate an XPage with controls and other artifacts, and to associate an XPage with data stores.
- Designing composite applications
  You can create composite applications from XPages.
- Programming
  XPages uses JavaScript™ for programming while the forms-based design elements use the formula language, LotusScript®, Java™, and JavaScript.
  - Scripting in XPages
    The scripting contexts are event handlers and formulas. The scripting language is JavaScript™ supplemented by simple actions and expression language (EL).
    - Events
      Listed here are the available events.
    - Simple actions
      A simple action performs a pre-programmed activity that can be modified by arguments. Simple actions apply to event handlers. Simple actions can be grouped.
    - Client-side scripting
      The triggering of a Client event sends its JavaScript™ code plus the XPage context to an interpreter on the user's client.
    - Server-side scripting
      The triggering of a Server event sends its JavaScript code plus the XPage context to an interpreter on the Web server.
    - JavaScript™ editor
      Use the JavaScript™ editor to create and maintain scripts.
    - JavaScript™ debugger
      Use the JavaScript™ debugger to examine server-side JavaScript code during execution on a Domino® server or a Domino preview server (which runs on the Domino Designer client).
      - Setting up and connecting the JavaScript™ debugger
        These steps show you how to adjust the notes.ini file on the run-time machine, create a debug configuration in Domino® Designer, and connect the debugger.
      - Running the JavaScript™ debugger
        The JavaScript™ debugger runs automatically when JavaScript code is encountered. You control the debugger from the Domino® Designer debug interface.
    - JavaScript™ libraries
      A JavaScript™ library allows you to store classes, functions, and variables for common use within an application. A JavaScript library is either a client library or a server library.
    - Running agents in the Notes® client
      You can call an agent from an XPage. On Domino® Server, security is based on the Agent security properties set for the agent. On the Notes® Client, security is based on the client ECL settings for the signer of the agent.
  - Eclipse-based language interfaces
    Java™ and LotusScript® have interfaces based on Eclipse as well as the older interfaces based on Notes®.

JavaScript™ debugger

Use the JavaScript™ debugger to examine server-side JavaScript™ code during execution on a Domino® server or a Domino® preview server (which runs on the Domino® Designer client).

You must set notes.ini variables for the run-time server. With these variables in effect, all JavaScript code that runs on the server can be debugged.

You must create a debug configuration in Domino® Designer, and connect the configuration to the run-time server. You can then see the run-time source code and variable values in the debugger interface.

Breakpoints can be set from the debugger interface, and from the code with debugger statements.
