OpenNTF Home

This application is the in-progress new OpenNTF home application, developed as an NSF using the XPages Jakarta EE Support project. Other than that project, it has no external code dependencies.

In particular, the technologies and techniques used are:

• Data access is done by way of Jakarta NoSQL, with entities configured in the model Java package and sub-packages
• Utility functions and coordinating aspects are written in CDI beans, kept in the beans Java package
• The UI is written using Jakarta MVC and JSP, with the controller classes kept in the webapp.controller Java package, the JSP elements kept in tags and views within WEB-INF, and the stylesheets kept in the Resources/StyleSheets folder
• Blog entries are also accessible via REST APIs written using Jakarta REST classes kept in the api package and sub-packages

Deployment

Currently, deploying this essentially requires being OpenNTF, as the data is stored in several databases that are not included in this repository. That may change in the future.

Specifically, these databased should exist on your server and be referenced in Settings documents inside the home NSF:

• dbProjects should point to the Projects database (pmt.nsf)
• dbBlog should point to the BlogSphere-templated blog database
• dbHome should point to the "OLD OpenNTF Home" database (home.nsf), containing the Pages documents
• dbWebinars should point to the webinar list database (wpl.nsf)

Additionally, the page uses various "links" documents for the navbar - probably the quickest route is to copy the documents from the existing "main.nsf" DB from the OpenNTF servers.

The file "settings.db" can be imported (via File -> Import) into the System\Settings view as "Structured Text" (not "Tabular") with Line Feed as a delimiter. After importing, open and re-save the three "links" entries to ensure that their values are stored as lists.
