Blogging a retweet - too good to miss
"sscullion: Retweeting @MaryBethRaven: "Hold the ctrl+alt key while you open a Java view to get the non-java version." Nice Tip, thx!! 7:04a Asturias, Spain"
Of cause I tried this and it didn't work for me unless I reopened the database that is held Ctrl-Alt while opening my mail database from the workspace. Still very, very valuable.
Remember that XPages is built in JSF
As you might know the new XPages design element of Notes/Domino 8.5 is based on a Sun Java technology called Java Server Faces or JSF for short. As such many techniques from JSF development can be reused in XPage development why it might be beneficial for you to follow some of the JSF litterature as well.
As always the newsletters from Sun is a good place to start and just recently there was two articles on composite UI components in JSF. You can find part 1 and part 2 on the web.
Update (4 Dec 2008): Corrected typo from "Java Server Pages" to "Java Server Faces".
