You can run XPage applications in HCL Notes®.

About this task

These applications display in the embedded browser or in the sidebar and for the most part look and behave like Web applications. XPage applications in the Notes® client have their own toolbar, which is visible whenever an XPage has focus in the embedded browser. One advantage of using XPage application in the Notes® client is that you can replicate locally an application developed for the Web and run it off-line in the Notes® client. Depending on the design of an XPage application, you may be able to perform one or all of these tasks:

Use File > Save to preserve modifications to XPages.
When you have authenticated in the Notes® client, the same credentials are used for access to any XPage application or component. Therefore, you are not prompted with a Web login dialog as would occur with a traditional Web application running in the embedded browser.
Pages can be bookmarked in the Notes® client.
Use the navigation buttons to move backward and forward between pages, stop the current action, refresh the current page, and return to the original page. The refresh button also offers a Clear Private Data option that clears the embedded browser cache.
Use the Print button to set up XPages for printing and print them.
If Domino® Designer is installed, you can click the View Page Source button to see the HTML source or click the View Configuration button to see the embedded browser settings.
