HCL Notes/Domino 8.5 Forum (includes Notes Traveler)

Subject:

I don't know wether anybody from IBM is reading this forums, but I'll give it a shot:

Is there any improvement planned regarding OOP development within Lotus Domino/Notes?

What I miss most

A) Ability to implement modern design patterns such as Factory, Singleton and the like. Without this, nothing close to MVC is possible in my opinion (see C why).

B) a central place where Objects can be loaded into memory as soon as a database is opened. This objects should be available from everywhere in the database (ergo sort of a namespace, in way), no matter wether I have to access this object from a form, a view or an agent. The Database Script Public area does not fill that need. These objects are not necessarily singletons.

C) Event Bus mechanism that makes it easy to catch events from the front end. The current event handling implementation ("On Event ...") sometimes produces weird error messages that seem random. Further I would like to be able to extend the base event to fire events suitable to my own needs in an application. This event bus should be capable to transfer events from front to backend aswell as the other direction.
