This is part 4 of a series on drag and drop with Xpages and Dojo.
I’m getting ready to start blogging about some Dojo hotness in XPages. IBM saw fit to include the Dojo 1.1.1 toolkit in the Domino 8.5 distribution, but unless your native XPage widget is calling the resources you’re out of luck if you want to access the toolkit's resources yourself. In general terms, how do you access a resource that’s on your server’s file system? You see, if you try to put a resource’s relative URI into an XPage’s resource list, Domino will prepend the path of the current database (er, application) -breaking the URI.
