Dominoplus introduces D+ Everywhere
January 30 2012
When I was in Spain last fall for the ESLUG event, I met Alejandro and the team from Dominoplus. They were excited to show me their "D+ Everywhere" application, which uses XPages to deliver offline mobile applications over HTML5. Now they have commercialized the solution, so I can highlight it more broadly:
Domino+ has developed a solution based on Lotus Domino, xPages, HTML5 and jQuery Mobile which allows Lotus Domino xPages applications to be used off-line when there's no data connection. It works in mobile devices which support HTML5 like modern Tablets and Smart phones.As their website says, a great solution to go with IBM XWork Server...and land right into organizations that have no experience with Domino but are looking for mobile application solutions.
The technology has been successfully used in an application for order processing at a client site in Madrid, allowing orders to be placed on site even if there was no data connection. The data is saved locally on the device and is synchronized with the server once a data connection has been established.
Our current version stores the data in the Local Storage and uses jQuery Mobile, but we can also use a local database like SQLite and Dojo Mobile instead of jQuery Mobile.

'D+ Everywhere' looks like a neat solution! Teamstudio have also been working on offline mobile support with Xpages and have created Unplugged.
They've gone one stage further and implemented a native XPages engine running on the mobile device for 3 different mobile operating systems: iOS, Android and Blackberry OS.
This lets you run bigger databases than with HTML5 Local Storage, with faster performance!

Everyone has their product, but do not think it's time to compare, especially when they are different things.
"D + Everywhere" is a 100% perfect for Lotus Domino and xWorks server app sample, without extra installable files
@TheStudioAngel Do not you think?

Like you said Daniel. It is not time to compare. So don't compare eh?
Personally I'm delighted companies are bringing out solutions like this. Customers of mine want to see them. It generates interest and expands application reach. Well done to both of you.

The question is: how did they do it? Anyone has some more information using HTML5 local storage in combination with XPages/Notes?

"but do not think it's time to compare"?
Not sure I follow the logic here.
When *is* the time to compare? Tomorrow? Next week? Third quarter 2012?

I'd like to add that for mobile (iOS, Android in the future) there is our solution "Domino To Go" with which you can develop native Apps that work with offline Notes data easily.
We showed it at Lotusphere 2012 and it was very, very well received.
See { Link } for more info.

I think what Daniel was trying to say is that D+Everywhere is not a product but a technology concept so is not much point in comparing the two. We welcome comparisons, appraisal and also criticism though. It will all help in how we sell the idea.
Right now we are offering this as a service, as by adding extra xPages forms and connectors to your application it just works. If you have a lot of data and the Local Storage database is not enough then you just switch over to SQLite. In reality any programmer with knowledge of HTML5, Javascript, Jquery Mobile/Dojo Mobile, HTML5 and of course xPages can do this with some trial and error or basic training.
We are thinking of offering this training but right now it can only be in Spanish. If you are interested in training in English let us know and we can prepare something for you and give it via webinar.

At the ESLUG event we saw a technical explanation how they did it. It was very amazing to see an application running in an iPad offline with XPages + HTML 5 + ......
I received a lot of questions of this application in my email and I forwared to the DominoPlus Team.
I would like to see the release 2 in the next ESLUG event ;)

Here's a short video which shows how the offline functionality can be used:

The demo it's based on an product ordering application we did for a client.

Hi,
Why do you mention you could also use DOJO Mobile instead of jQuery Mobile?
Do plan to change the framework?
Do you thing one of the two has some advantages?

Hello Fred,
In versión 8.5 Dojo Mobile wasn't available so we used jQuery Mobile (simply becuase we liked it better). Now with 8.5.3 Dojo Mobile is avilable so we also use it.
Thanks for mentioning us Ed. Much appreciated.
