can anyone give me simple answers to these questions.
what’s the difference between a page and an xpage?
how do i reference an xpage with a url?
ie if my xpage is called home and my db is called web.nsf would the url be domain/web.nsf/home?openxpage

Ad. 1. what’s the difference between a page and an xpage?
A ‘Page’ can contain static text/HTML, computed values (thus no fields!)
An ‘XPage’ can aggregate data from different databases/views/documents, can act sort of as a Java Servlet, can post data (when the user saves something) to different documents/views/databases etc.
Ad. 2. how do i reference an xpage with a url?
http[s]://your-server-or-ip[:port]/path/database.nsf/xpage-name.xsp[?query-string-parameters…]
meaning that your URL would be:
http[s]://your-server-or-ip[:port]/web.nsf/home.xsp
You can always try to preview your XPage in the Notes client or using the browser (which will show you the URL)
Subject: simple indeed
thanks, it’s much to figure out how to use something when you know what it is.
good explanation.
