RE: Have you read the Developer's Roadmap... it was designed to answer this question for you ~Phil Zengerovitchetsi 20.Dec.02 07:45 AM a Web browser Applications Development All ReleasesAll Platforms
Hey guys,
Yes, we have read the roadmap. Lotus wants to go J2EE, since 2 or 3 years (since IBM started Websphere, and the Lotus CEO left to Groove...). We are waiting. They wanted to build Tomcat into Domino 6 - this project seems to have failed. All they delivered was a Websphere license. Lotusphere in January might be their last chance!
Go and have a look at Websphere a bit more deeply...
You will learn about MVC/Struts, XML, XSL, OO, HTML, Beans, etc. Those are not just buzzwords, those are fundamental architectural shifts. In one word: if Domino wants to keep up, it needs much stronger ties to jakarta.apache.org, xml.apache.org, Websphere, Eclipse, etc. It also means that Lotus must employ much younger engineers.
The other side (Eclipse) can learn from Domino: simple rapid application development, security, agents, etc.
Hmm, I will switch my focus to Websphere for the time being, trying to include Domino through the Java API.
