Can anyone tell me where com.ibm.xsp.component.UIIncludeComposite is documented? I searched in the help file for UIIncludeComposite but found nothing.
There is only one brief mention of it in Mastering xPages.
com.ibm.xsp.component.UIIncludeComposite is the class for the object returned by getComponent when calling getComponent for a custom control.
In fact where is anything documented? I think the single biggest frustration as a newbie xPage programmer is the lack of documentation or where to find it.
The Java class is documented in the Javadoc available at http://www-10.lotus.com/ldd/ddwiki.nsf/dx/Domino_Designer_Extensibility_APIs_Javadoc_8.5.3 which points to this page for the specific class:
http://public.dhe.ibm.com/software/dw/lotus/Domino-Designer/JavaDocs/DesignerAPIs/com/ibm/xsp/component/UIIncludeComposite.html
General documentation for Upgrade Pack 1 and Extension Library is available here:

In Twig internal documentation we can read that lexer could be changed:
$twig->setLexer($lexer);
My question is: Is possible to extend from Twig_Lexer?
When reading the code I can see most members are private, this makes harder the reuse of members or extending at all. Also the setLexer() from Twig_Environment has a type hint for Twig_Lexer.
What am I missing here ?
Thanks in advance.
As documentation purpose. The answer to this question can be seen in this issue
Basically all extension from internal classes is discouraged and will not be supported in Twig.
This is not a technical question, but rather an inquiry on how to get better information regarding the huge numbr of parameters and properties of the various controls you can put in an XPage.
A concrete example:
I have a button which had a property save=true in its event Handler. I added some code in the postSave event, so a lotuscript angent could do some processing, and I started having save conflicts. It took a while but I managed to figure out that the save=true in the event Handler was causing the issue.
I like to know my options, so I wanted to look at what exactly that property ws doing (although the name kinds of give it), but that's when it hit me: where do I look for that kind of information?
Is there a site somewhere that lists all properties we can add and a description of what they are doing?
Maybe my Google skills are not the best, but I couldn't find anything yet...
The three IBM Press XPages books (Mastering XPages 2nd Edition, XPages Portable Command Guide and XPages Extension Library) are key to understanding the implications of the properties. There are the equivalent of Javadocs for controls (here's the link for the XPages Extension Library one), but they're not intended to go into the kind of depth to identify the problem you hit.
These might be useful:

As I have asked questions in this form - thanks for your many helpful answers - i have found many really neat things that one can do using ExtLibUtil.???? however, other than a bit here and a bit there I have not found anything that gives a listing on the various functions. I one post I read that it is all in the source of the extension Library, and it might be if you really understand where in the source to look. Sure would appreciate a pointer and starting point.
I've been unable to find a JavaDoc for it. The library slipped passed us when we wrote the book - certainly I was not as au fait with Java to be aware of it and all the strength within it. So the best option currently is to look at the source code in Eclipse. Many of the methods are helper methods to easily access things like viewScope etc, which is easy from SSJS but less easy from Java. Most are pretty self-explanatory.
Content assist doesn't seem to work from SSJS, but will from any Java class or, alternatively, open up one of the Java classes created for XPages / Custom Controls under the "local" package in Package Explorer, type "ExtLibUtil." in any method and you'll see the list.
Especially rich:autocomplete. There are a lot of possible attributes but not all of them are explained, neither in the Developers Guide nor in the Component Reference. For example there is no information about fetchValue, immediate, selecteditemClass,...
You need to check the Tag Library Documentation. Here is the <rich:autocomplete>.
requestScope is a com.sun.faces.context.RequestMap object, I found its methods reference at http://www.docjar.com/docs/api/com/sun/faces/context/RequestMap.html. I wonder if it belongs to the JSF API.
The packages here http://www.docjar.com/projects/Mojarra-2.0.1-code.html are different from the official reference here: download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17802_01/j2ee/javaee/javaserverfaces/2.0/docs/api/index.html. It seems the packages have been moved into javax.*. So what version is XPage based on?
Erik Brooks has an article about this. Or take a look at the Wikipedia page.
XPages are based on JSF 1.2
I learned the answer after I knew more about J2EE. JSF API is only the specification. com.sun.faces.* and similar things are concrete implementations.
