Amazon.co.uk Review
Few platforms for the delivery of content and services over Internet-standard networks have built upon open programming languages to the extent that Domino has. IBM's flagship server product, with support for its own object models as well as those generally supported by Web browsers, has a remarkable capacity to support platform-independent clients.
Domino 5 Web Programming with XML, Java, and JavaScript shows how to create server-side applications with Domino Designer, and then how to communicate with those programs from the client side by a variety of means.
This book is, in large part, an object reference. It includes a complete directory of the Document Object Model (DOM) that JavaScript works with, plus reference material on the Domino objects for Java. The DOM and JavaScript material--to the extent that it documents the standard, non-Domino-specific scripting environment--isn't especially valuable; better references exist in print and on the Web. The portions of the reference that deal with Domino's own object model, though, are very good and are worth including in the library of any Domino shop. Explanatory material, such as a play-by-play description of what happens when a user submits a form, is excellent. Examples also make this book worthwhile. You can, for example, turn to this book for a quick demonstration of how to use CORBA to mediate communications between a Java applet and a Domino server. Randall Tamura's work shows you several ways to solve most client/server application problems under Domino. --David Wall, Amazon.com
Topics covered: Creating custom Domino and Notes applications through the use of Java, JavaScript, HTML, and XML. Coverage of Domino Designer explains the server side of the development equation, while tutorials on HTML, JavaScript, the Document Object Model (DOM), and Java applets take care of the client side. Database access and forms management get special attention.
