How to set 'date only' or 'time only' values in fields through XPages
XPages always save date and time in a field
When a form has the fields with "date only" or "time only", then the stored data format are different between Notes Client and XPages.
For example, I prepared the field with "date only" named "Date" as following (sorry, screenshots are all Japanese) :
And also field with "time only" named "Time":
Now I saved a new document with this form from Notes Client (9.0.1 FP3), then I got following fields' data.
As you see, "Date" field has "2015/03/02", and Time field has"14:35:00"
As the next, I created the simple XPage to save a new document with same form and fields so that I can compare the data between Notes Client and XPages.
Below is the source code for Date field and Time field in XPages.
Date Field
Time Field
Each inputText specify date, time to the Type attribute of convertDateTime.
After saving a new document from this XPage, below is the screenshot of stored field data:
So both of fields have "yyyy/MM/dd hh:mm:dd ZZ" format.
Why you need to save "date only" or "time only" data from XPages？
I just don't post this blog to argue which format is proper way and why XPages behaves differently.
In the real world, I think you or your customers already have the NSF apps and you may want to improve them as the web application by XPages. In that case, especially you decide to keep using the NSF from both Notes Client and XPages, then I recommend to adjust the field format to Notes Client one instead of XPages one so that all existing documents are supported both Notes Client and XPages without changing data.
Use setAnyTime()、setAnyDate() of NotesDateTime class
Maybe there are a lot of way to achieve what I want below. But one of easy way is using NotesDateTime class of SSJS.
The SSJS above converts the DateTime field format by using setAnyTime()、setAnyDate() in PostSaveDocument event after saving the XSP document .

XPages - How to expand a specific category in the view as default
Control Expand/Collapse of the category view
To control Expand/Collapse status of the view in XPages, you just have to use [ExpandLevel] in view data source.
For example, Set "0" to expand, "1" to collapse as default.
Then Is it possible if you want to collapse the view as default except the specific category like below?
Expand only the specific category as default by SSJS
Use the following Serverside Javascript code in afterPageLoad event to expand the specific category.
In the above case, the last line(L4) specifies the first category to expand.
Like this sample code, you can control more if you use SSJS. In this case, I use DominoViewDataModel object. If you are interested in this object, you can see more detail from this link.
You might be able to get more ideas to control view data source directly.
Honored to be a 2015 IBM Champion for ICS
12/3/2014, I got one email from IBM and title was "IBM welcomes you as a 2015 IBM Champion!".
I am very honored to be an IBM Champion 2015 and now I am feeling I should contribute more to the ICS communities.
From Japan, 6 Japanese were designated for IBM Champions for ICS.
Satoru Abe (NEOAXIS Co.,Ltd.)
Kenji Ebihara (Ricoh IT Solutions Co.,Ltd.)
Mitsuru Kato (Teamstudio Japan K.K)
Kazunori Tatsuki (KTrick, llc)
Masahiko Miyo (ef Co.,Ltd.)
Takeshi Yoshida (SOLXYZ Co.,Ltd.)
Congratulations!!
In 2014, I could meet a lot of great developers and business partners and had a chance to do the business together. I also had chances to join the events as session speaker such as XPagesDay 2014 , IBM XCITE Autumn 2014 , Notes Consortium .
As 2015 IBM Champion・・・
According to the email, It seems that IBM Champion program recognizes individuals who make outstanding contributions to IBM communities in the following ways
- Evangelize and advocate for IBM Collaboration Solutions
- Share knowledge and expertise
- Help grow and nurture the community
- Expand reach across the IBM portfolio
- Present feedback, both negative and positive, in a constructive and professional manner
Personally I would like to contribute the ICS communities so that none IBM related developers become interested in ICS software and development.
I also had chances to work at the IBM user or partner's development office, then I realized there are many companies which develops a lot of great Notes/Domino applications. So I also would like to provide the valuable information to the world from Japan so that people in the world can realize more that there are many great Japanese developers in Japan.
