6. Device Bean (pre-9.0.1)
• Note: The device bean can be
implemented fairly easily
without waiting for an
upgrade to 9.0.1.
• Keith
Strickland
has
previously posted a blog
article how this can be
achieved using SSJS and CSJS.
• To develop as a bean the
code needs to be converted
to the equivalent Java.

SSJS
var isMobile = {
Android: function() {
return context.getUserAgent().getUserAgent().match(/Android/i);
},
BlackBerry: function() {
return context.getUserAgent().getUserAgent().match(/BlackBerry/i);
},
iOS: function() {
return context.getUserAgent().getUserAgent().match(/iPhone|iPad|iPod/i);
},
Opera: function() {
return context.getUserAgent().getUserAgent().match(/Opera Mini/i);
},
Windows: function() {
return context.getUserAgent().getUserAgent().match(/IEMobile/i);
},
any: function() {
return (isMobile.Android() || isMobile.BlackBerry() || isMobile.iOS() || isMobile.Opera() || isMobile.Windows());
}
};
CSJS
var isMobile = {
Android: function() {
return navigator.userAgent.match(/Android/i);
},
BlackBerry: function() {
return navigator.userAgent.match(/BlackBerry/i);
},
iOS: function() {
return navigator.userAgent.match(/iPhone|iPad|iPod/i);
},
Opera: function() {
return navigator.userAgent.match(/Opera Mini/i);
},
Windows: function() {
return navigator.userAgent.match(/IEMobile/i);
},
any: function() {
return (isMobile.Android() || isMobile.BlackBerry() || isMobile.iOS() || isMobile.Opera() || isMobile.Windows());
}
};

7. Partial Refresh File Uploads
• File uploads no longer require a full
refresh of the page to initiate a file
upload.
• This makes it easier to implement
mobile applications that integrate
with the camera application for
uploading of photos.

Note: Current release of Firefox is 25.
• Upgrading CK Editor from 3.6.6.1 to
3.6.6.2.
• A new (experimental) feature to run
XPages builds from a command line. A
