How to run XPage ? What are requirements?

XPages are revolutionary and exciting me new technology in Notes/Domino and I have few questions:

Does it run on Domino or WebSphere ? Both ? or maybe Notes also? What version in case of WAS ?

What is url to run XPage ? Enything like http://domino.srv/applilcation.nsf?XPAGE=pagename ?

Is running considered on client ? 8.5 ? later? never ?

I am not sure but if XPages are JSF then can I mix it with other faces? Apache MyFaces? Or it is something different? Or it is JSF but can be used only separate w/o other libraries ?

XPages run on a Domino server, not a Websphere server.

They can be invoked either by setting one of them to be your app web launch option, or with an URL like:

http://myserver/mydb/myxpage.xsp

They are extended JSF - you can bring in controls, but in what ways are you looking to mix it with other JSF implementations?

Thank you for the answer. But I am still really missing a documentation - an feature map with all below Domino technology items. Also with remarks witch of them is sunrise or sunset, what are theit origin and if they follow a standard or are propriterary solution:

  1. XPages ( are the following JSF specification ? ) possible to mix with other tags, possible to be run on any other JSP server ? )

  2. Composite Applications ( introduced in discontinued Workplace ? ) will be continued in 8.5 ?

  3. Old domino jsp tags and notes.jar - where are they on the map? still developed or replaced by XPages ( see p. 1 )

Subject: a ND85 server

is enough to run Xpages. They changed the http task for it. So create xpages with domino designer in eclipse, put the db on a 8.5 server, launch the browser et voila. No was or other stuff involved.
