There's nothing like trying to learn new technology to make you feel stupid sometimes.
Category xpages
I really do think xpages are great. For the first time I believe I have a real web development platform with Lotus Domino, rather than feeling like everything is a hack. The only problem is, its making me feel like a hack trying to figure some things out. Add to that Odd Quirks that throw me for loops for hours and it gets to be so frustrating and I start to feel as sharp as a pound of wet leather.
Now, I'm trying to set up a simple XPages user registration page. You know, enter your user name, password, confirm your password, etc ... I've got validation working all the way around, except I need to validate that the password and the confirm password boxes have the same value, and for the life of me, I can't figure it out. I try to write validators in the same manner that worked for other fields, except I hit roadblocks every time I attempt to compare the two fields.
I thought I was good when the Domino Designer Wiki had an example of exactly this .... well, it didn't work either it uses a method getSubmittedValue() that doesn't actually exist,and when I try to access the values any other way, it just doesn't work.
XPages are really great, they are game changers, but they are also a pain to figure out ...
