Integration with XPage Embedded Experiences

XPages can be leveraged as embedded experiences in Notes and iNotes. This article outlines the considerations one should make to enable this functionality.

Gadget data flow

OpenSocial Component functionality in Notes and iNotes relies on several different pieces of data, including proxy rules, OAuth consumer information, and gadget capability information. This article outlines how this data is used and how its use can be customized.

Collecting support data

In the event that verification of the OpenSocial Component fails an administrator will need to collect support data. This article outlines how an administrator can collect support data for Notes, iNotes, and Domino.

Verification

Once the OpenSocial Component is installed and configured, administrators need to verify that their environment is working properly. This article outlines how an administrator can do such verification.

Troubleshooting

In the event that verification of the OpenSocial Component fails an administrator may need to troubleshoot his or her environment. This article outlines how an administrator can do such troubleshooting.

Overview


OpenSocial Widgets need to be created and trusted before they will render in the Notes and iNotes clients. Trust is also needed before Embedded Experiences will render, whether the Embedded Experience is rendering an OpenSocial gadget or a simple URL.

For more information on Widgets in the Notes client, see Widgets and Live Text.

Creating OpenSocial Widgets


To learn how to create OpenSocial Widgets in the Notes client, see Creating OpenSocial widgets

Approving a Widget in the Widget Catalog


To learn more about the initial approval process, see Approving a widget created from an OpenSocial gadget

Importing a Widget into the Widget Catalog


The standard approval process requires the Widget Catalog administrator to fill out OAuth and proxy information when a Widget is approved. This process can be simplified by using the "Import" functionality, in which configuration files containing pre-configured OAuth and proxy data are imported. For more information, see the "Import" section of Widget catalog options and accessexternal link.


Viewing Approval Status in the Widget Catalog


The 9.0 version of the Widget Catalog template includes a new "All Widgets by Approval" view that can be used by an administrator to quickly see the approval status of his or her Widgets.


Widget Approval Process Diagram


Upon approval, the “PushToCredStore” agent writes data to the credential store. Notes client local replicas of the Widget Catalog need to be updated to get the new widget approvals and ancillary data.

IMPORTANT: Data in the Widget Catalog and the Credential Store is only read periodically (every hour, by default). Thus, the data needed to render a newly approved Widget may not be immediately available. For more information see Gadget Data Flow
