It's somewhat limited as you must have control of the other side, or at least have the JSONP provided for you.

You can fetch HTML from ANY site, just use an iFrame. JSONP could deliver HTML as well, but that goes against the whole idea of JSON.

I've not yet delved into it that deeply, but in theory, it could do that.

As I said, it's actually abusing the script tag in order to return JSON type data instead of JavasScript source code, which is what that tag *should* be fetching for you. So, why not HTML too?

Cheers,

What you call the scary looking stuff is part of this particular implementation, a timekeeping class which can be run on a lot of platforms and hides the implementation differences, and solves running on different platforms by dynamically loading different implementations of the same interface. Also note that the R3 and R4 you mention are LotusScript versions. Those have a relation with the Notes version, but are not the same.

Don't disparage compiler time checking too much. If they cannot be done, LotusScript must use variants. That carries a significant performance penalty, as detailed in the same redbook that discusses dynamic classloading: Performance considerations for Domino Applications: { Link }

So: for large systems/frameworks it is certainly worth it to explore these techniques. Another I just came across while looking into this is the use of Get/Set Property in ScriptLibraries, outside of a class. This gives you the opportunity to have globals which cannot be easily corrupted by a sloppy program. Examples here: { Link } and here: { Link }]]>

Thanks for again for the link.

I read through Alain's stuff briefly, and suffered a severe brain explosion, I'm afraid. I like his technique for creating Abstract classes, but how he's applying it to his Factory stuff is completely beyond my chops.

It also seems include a lot of scary-looking stuff that's specific to what versions of Notes you happen to be using, e.g:

LotusScript.lang.R3.Interpreter

LotusScript.lang.R4.Interpreter

and so on. And none of that stuff goes beyond version 5.

The BIll/IBM technique does what I want and I understand how it works. That's good enough for me. Compiler-time checking I can do without. Come to think of it, compiler-time checking is what led to a lot of my problems in the first place!!!]]>

If you really want to expand your mind, check out Alain Romedenne's work. He has figured out a way to use the classes fully typed instead of as variants, so if you use the classes elsewhere you get compiler checks (Option Declare) benefits.

Read: { Link }

He has other easily implemented methods in his blog which can be very valuable: use of a certain way of declaration, you can make your code more robust by implementing static globals.]]>

Many thanks for that link. I'd read Bill's work on OO LotusScript before, but had missed the slides concerning Dynamic Loading... or maybe I read them and didn't understand them!

In fact, I'm not sure now I completely understand how it works, but work it does.]]>

Just exactly what I had in mind. It's how I handle it in JavaScript already: { Link }

Sadly though, you can't create LotusScript objects on the fly like you can JavaScript objects. The object parameter passed to the constructor would need to have its own Class definition. That's a fair bit of work to set up, but it would get around the problem of needing multiple parameters, passed in a particular order.]]>

Thanks for the link. I actually found that not long after making my own post. (Der, should have looked first.)

I have in mind something slightly different....

@Erik,

Yes, an array of variants would work.

You would still have the disadvantage of having to get the members of the array in the right order though. And whenever you changed that in the class constructor, you'd likely have to update all your calling functions accordingly too.

What I've got in mind is more like how you can do it in JavaScript { Link }]]>
