which Extension Library IBM support for Lotus Notes 853?
currently we use the extLib version: 8.5.3.20111208-0717, which we install over the 8.5.3 Upgrade Pack 1. But I miss in this version the restservice xe:customrestservice e.g.
So my question is, can I download every extlib version for 8.5.3 from openntf and install that, without lost my ibm support?
The last release for 8.5.3 is 853.20130315-0724 from Apr 4, 2013.

I upgraded my Domino 9.0.1 to 10 after my databases (used POI import/Export) give POI libraries errors. I'm using Eclipse Update Site database for loading POI. I tested po
cant load POI libraries:
import java lib are not load
Domino console POI services status:
Your Target Platform setting in Designer may have been messed up by the V10 upgrade - it's a very-common issue with 9.0.1FP10 and V10. "Fix #1" here may be what you need: https://frostillic.us/blog/posts/058650E080E352178525832B00519D2C
Welcome to Stack Overflow. The first image shows build errors in Domino Designer. Did you upgrade your Designer to 10 too? If so, then you should reinstall the POI libraries in Designer from your update site.
I'm getting the error below when I run my application:
com.ibm.xsp.FacesExceptionEx: The application /test/Test.nsf requires com.ibm.xsp.extlib.relational.library
The extension library cannot be found, but the library was installed by replicating the updatesite.nsf from the main server to the current server throwing this error.
When I issue the command below:
tell http osgi ss com.ibm.xsp.extlib
The log show that the library is ACTIVE, but does not show that it has been INSTALLED.
Since the library is already on the server, how can I install it?
Your support will be appreciated.
Thanks.
com.ibm.xsp.extlib.relational.library is not part of the core 9.0.1 Extension Library. It was only incorporated into the core OpenNTF Extension Library in 9.0.1_v00_10. It was not incorporated into core IBM Extension Library until Feature Pack 8. You will see that nothing starting com.ibm.xsp.extlib is referenced in your screenshot of the server console, and version 9.0.1_v00_00 which shows you only have 9.0.1 base Extension Library installed. There are three options:
Install ExtLibX component from the OpenNTF Extension Library. You will still be using the base 9.0.1 version for all other controls.
Upgrade the version of the Extension Library to a more recent version, e.g. 9.0.1_v00_17. This will override the base 9.0.1 version of all Extension Library controls.
Upgrade to 9.0.1 Feature Pack 8.
Note that if you use ExtLibX, SSJS code or XPages components will continue to work when you subsequently upgrade ExtLib (or Domino to FP8+). However, to avoid name collisions, the Java class names will change. If you use custom Java code, you will need to edit and update the classes to the new Java package names when upgrading in the future.
I have an XPage app that has been working fine. I upgraded my client from 8.5.3 FP6 to 9.0.1 FP1, built the database and now receive the following error on the 8.5.3 server console:
HTTP JVM: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: com/ibm/commons/util/io/json/JsonJavaObject.put(Ljava/lang/String;Ljava/lang/Object;)Ljava/lang/Object;
If I rebuild from an 8.5.3 client it runs fine again.
Any suggestions on what I need to do differently using the 9.0.1 Designer client ?
Thanks...
Have you tried compiling the application to run as an earlier version? There is an option in xsp properties to compile with an earlier version.
If you can compile on your Designer, it's a specific problem for your server. Check plugins and additional Java libraries on your server. There might be a conflict.
On your server, extension library is installed? If yes, which version? (ExtLib for 8.5.3 contains IBM Commons jar, so it may be a reason of conflict), OpenNTF Domino API? Social Enabler?
You might also test with a clean Domino installation to determine the root cause.
One of our customers have Lotus Notes version 5.0.9. They wanted to check if it's possible to create an android mobile application to connect to the backend for documents workflow.
Couldn't find much resources about this scenario for this version. I believe Domino is already available on that version - so is Xpages a viable solution for that scenario? Thanks.
XPages requires at least Domino 8.5.x (and preferably Domino 9.0 which is the latest IBM Domino release). So you need to upgrade the Domino server if you want to use XPages.
FYI: Notes 5 was released in 1999 (see the history of IBM Notes on wikipedia).
XPages are available since IBM Notes Version 8.5. The term "Domino" stands for the IBM Notes server. So if your customer has Notes version 5.0.9 they probably have Domino version 5.0.9 too (although one can mix Notes and Domino versions).
Therefore XPages are no option for your, apart from the fact you could install a second Domino sever with version 9.0 just to host the xpages.
If they are on R5 what are they using for a workflow engine? If they are using a database designed from Approval.ntf (I think R5 was the last time it was shipped with the product) then it is a very old and very difficult to maintain &/or modify. If so then they probably need to take a deep breath and upgrade and re-design. Can probably cobble something together to make it work but really question the wisdom of doing that.
I just installed the Upgrade Pack 1 on my Domino 8.5.3 server. How is the Extension Library updated now? Documentation here http://www-10.lotus.com/ldd/ddwiki.nsf/dx/Installing_the_upgrade_pack_on_a_Domino_server_ddxl853 says that I should remove OSGI_HTTP_DYNAMIC_BUNDLES=updateSite1.nsf from notes.ini so it means this update method is not beeing used anymore? How to update extlib instead? On Notes client I have used the File -> Application -> Install to update libraries but not sure how to do it on my server now.
Upgrade Pack 1 contains the IBM supported version of the Extension Library from OpenNTF. As stated by Frantisek you should not mix UP1 and Extension Library from OpenNTF (unless you really know what you are doing and in this case you should only mix UP1 and the experimental part of the 853-20111215 release of Extension Library since that release matches UP1).
So (as stated in the documentation you link to) you need to remove Extension Library before installing UP1.
You need to install UP1 on the Notes clients too. This includes removing Extension Library from the clients too. See the documentation for more information: http://www-10.lotus.com/ldd/ddwiki.nsf/dx/Installing_the_upgrade_pack_on_Domino_Designer_and_Notes_ddxl853
Alternatively you can choose to continue using the Extension Library from OpenNTF (and not install UP1). You just need to be aware that it is not supported by IBM.
You should not mix Upgrade pack and Extension library, as stated here: http://www-10.lotus.com/ldd/ddwiki.nsf/dx/Installing_and_administering_the_XPages_Extension_Library_ddxl853
