HCL Domino Designer User Guide and Reference
This guide provides information on using HCL Domino Designer and programming language reference information.
- What's new in Domino Designer 14?
  The following features are new for developers in HCL Domino® Designer 14.
- What's new in Nomad Designer?
  HCL Nomad for web browsers v1.0.10 introduces the capability to design Notes databases. For more information, see HCL Nomad for web browsers User Documentation, Nomad web Designer.
- Accessibility and keyboard shortcuts
  Accessibility features assist users who have a disability, such as restricted mobility or limited vision, to use information technology content successfully.
- Application Design
  Welcome to the Application Design section of Domino® Designer Help.
- Application Management
  Welcome to the Application Management section of Domino® Designer Help.
- Domino® Query Language
  Domino® Query Language (DQL) is a facility running on a Domino server that provides a terse, shorthand syntax for finding documents. It supports a wide variety and complexity of search terms. It leverages existing design elements, avoiding the need to write detailed code to access them. DQL consolidates all methods in Domino for searching document contents.
- Composite Applications - Design and Management
  Composite applications are a key element in a service-oriented architecture (SOA) and contextual collaboration strategy. The ability to create and edit composite applications lets you easily integrate different types of components and technologies.
- DB2® Access views
  Domino® Designer includes two types of design elements to assist you in managing data contained in DB2® enabled Notes® databases:
- Programming Overview and User Interface
  This section contains general guidelines and examples that show where to use Java, LotusScript, and the formula language.
- Formula Language
  This section documents the formula language.
- LotusScript® Language
  Welcome to the LotusScript® Language section of Domino® Designer Help.
- LotusScript/COM/OLE Classes
- Java/CORBA Classes
  This section documents the Java/CORBA classes.
  - Java™ Classes Coding Guidelines
    - Running a Java™ program
      You can call the Domino® Objects from a Java™ program by importing the lotus.domino package. The program can be coded as an application, a Domino agent, an applet, or a servlet. Local calls access run-time code on the local computer, which must have Domino installed. CORBA-based remote (IIOP) calls access run-time code from a remote Domino server; in this case, the local computer need not have Domino installed. Compilation must be on a computer with Domino Designer installed.
    - Accessing databases
    - Accessing views and folders using Java™
    - Accessing documents in Java™ classes
      - Accessing document properties in Java™ classes
        You access the document properties through the following methods:
