Extracting to new folder c:\extlib-extract
Verify file extraction● Should have files like the picture below
Install Eclipse Plugin to Domino Designer● For Domino Designer, the Extension Library is deployed as an Eclipse
Plugin● The updateSite.zip file in the extract contains the plugin● Turn on ability to install plugins in Domino Designer
▬ In Domino Designer, go to File Preferences▬ Select “Domino Designer”▬ Checkmark option for “Enable Eclipse plug-in install”
File | Application | Install menu available● Now, a new menu option under File | Application should be available
▬ “Install”
Search for New Features● A dialog box for Install/Update appears with choice for “Search for
Updates” or “Search for New Features”● Choose radio button for “Search for New Features...”
Add Zip File Location● For Application Locations dialog, choose “Add Zip/Jar Location”

Verify install from Help Menu● To make sure the install was successful, go to Help | About IBM Lotus
Domino Designer
About IBM Lotus Domino Designer● Choose the Plug-In Details button
Verify Plugins are Installed● Scroll down the 2nd column (plug-in name) and look for entries starting
with “Extended Components Library”
Create New Domino Application● From the Designer Home Page
▬ Click button for “Create a New Application”
Extension Library Test● Choose local server● Title: Extension Library Test● Filename: extlib.nsf
Open Application Properties● In the application navigator, open Application Properties
On Advanced Tab, Check Ext Library● In the Xpage Libraries Section, there should now be an entry for
com.ibm.xsp.extlib.library● Check it● Save
Create Sample XPage● Go to Xpages in the application navigator and double-click Xpages● Click “New Xpage” button
Controls View● Far right column of Designer
should have a view called “Controls”
● If not, use menu Window | Show Eclipse Views | Controls to display it
Go to Extension Library section● In the Controls view, there are
several sections● Near the bottom of the view,
there should be a section for Extension Library
● If there, congratulations, you've installed the Extension Library into Domino Designer
Server Installation ● Installing to Domino Designer just makes the controls available to the
Designer client● It doesn't make the controls available at runtime for the Domino server● The same plugins have to be installed on the Domino server● Unfortunately, the server isn't based on Eclipse so we can't use a plugin
installer and updateSite.zip to automatically install them
Unzip updateSite.zip● updateSite.zip is in the c:\extlib-extract folder created earlier● Double-click it
Extract to update-site-extract subdir● Extract the files to a new subdirectory under c:\extlib-extract\update-site-
extract▬ These exact paths aren't necessary. We are doing this just to have a reference for
this guide
Move Files to Domino Server Directory● Locate your Domino data directory
▬ e.g. c:\IBM\Lotus\Domino\Data
● Navigate to domino\workspace\applications\eclipes● Full path example:
▬ C:\IBM\Lotus\Domino\Data\Domino\Workspace\Applications\Eclipse
● From the update-site-extract\features folder, copy the contents into the ...\Eclipse\Features directory
● See next slide for screenshot
Repeat for plugins directory
Verify Installation● There should be 1 file that was copied into features directory● There should be 8 files that were copied into plugins directory● At the Domino server console
▬ Type tell http quit▬ Load http
Verify ext lib loaded● At server command prompt, type:
▬ tell http osgi ss com.ibm.xsp.extlib
● Results should look like this:
Install Mobile Controls● For the mobile components of the Extension Library to work, it requires
the dojox/mobile library from Dojo 1.5● Domino 8.5.2 ships with Dojo 1.4.3● Dojo 1.5 has to be downloaded and then a subset of it moved into the
Domino subdirectories
Download Dojo 1.5● Go to http://dojotoolkit.org/download
▬ (not necessary for lab, file has been put on desktop)
● Download the “Dojo Toolkit Release” zipfile not “Dojo Base”
Extract Dojo Files● Double-click the dojo-release-1.5.0-zip file to c:\dojo-extract
Copy mobile.js file● Copy C:\dojo-extract\dojo-release-1.5.0\dojox\mobile.js to● C:\IBM\Lotus\Domino\data\domino\js\dojo-1.4.3\dojox\mobile.js
Copy dojox\mobile● Copy the entire Mobile subdirectory into the dojox folder on the Domino
server● Mobile is a new module in dojo 1.5 that did not exist in 1.4, therefore the
entire dojox\mobile subdirectory is new, and we copy it into the 1.4.3 dojox folder
● Copy c:\dojo-extract\dojo-release-1.5.0\dojox\mobile to● C:\IBM\Lotus\Domino\data\js\dojo-1.4.3\dojox
Install Mobile Themes● Xpage theme files for iPhone, Android, and Blackberry are included in
the extension library download● Theme files must be put into the Domino subdirectories● In c:\extlib-extract, open the src.zip file and extract it to c:\extlib-
extract\src-extract
Locate and copy .theme files● In the src-extract folder, navigate to
▬ \eclipse\plugins\com.ibm.xsp.extlib.mobile\resources\mobile\themes
● There are 3 .theme files located there● Copy them to
▬ c:\IBM\Lotus\Domino\xsp\nsf\themes
● Tell http restart at server console
Congratulations!● The Extension Library is now installed on both the Domino server and
client● The next step is to get the Demo database on the server and try it out to
see the new controls at work
Copy Demo Database● In the c:\extlib-extract there is a Notes database called XpagesExt.nsf● Copy it to the data directory on the Domino server● Open the database with the Designer client● Sign the database
Open Demo Database in Browser● http://127.0.0.1/XPagesExt.nsf● Login as Domino Admin, passw0rd
Go to the Mobile Tab● Click the Tab for Mobile and then choose iPhone from the Navigator● If the Mobile components are installed correctly, an iPhone frame will
appear on the screen
