Data Source Events

I am currently working on transforming an existing Domino app into an Xpages app. Therefor I took another close look on the Data Source Events as described in the Mastering XPages book. Here is a summary:

A data source on an XPage has many similar events as the traditional Domino document.

Event	Trigger
computeDocument	Create new document Submit document Reloade XPage Open document
queryNewDocument	Create document Reload XPage
postNewDocument	Create document Reload XPage
queryOpenDocument	Open document
postOpenDocument	Open document
querySaveDocument	Submit document
postSaveDocument	Submit document

The following table gives an overview which trigger executes which Event(s)  (in the order as listed):

Trigger	Executed Events
Create document	queryNewDocument postNewDocument computeDocument
Submit document	querySaveDocument postSaveDocument computeDocument
Cancel document	No Event(s)
Reload XPage	queryNewDocument postNewDocument computeDocument
Open document	queryOpenDocument postOpenDocument computeDocument
Switch document mode	No Event(s)

An example you can find described on the Domino forum.
