XPages: Offline Solution

I have a suit of 10 databases in my application. I am currently migrating the design to XPages. My intention is to allow users to take local replica copies of these databases and let them work off-line. (For few security reasons, we cannot use DOLS as the off-line solution)

So far I converted one of the main screens in the application to XPage. It works great in both Browser & Client. But I am facing one issue here.

There are several areas where I need to pull data from the other databases (using URLs). I am having a tough time figuring out the correct URL for that.

I had posted another question related to this for which Matt White gave me a good answer. But I didn't specify that it is for the Local database.

Here is what I need now.

On clicking a link from a XPage in database A, I want to open a PDF file from database B in a dojo Dialog box. I am using IFrame as the dialog content. What will be the src url like?

I tried the following.

I responded to your question on the Forum, but I'll copy it here for anyone else who stumbles across this:

=========

I need to do a bunch of apps for the off-line local client. I have high hopes for Xpages in the client combined with replication. I've deployed on early test to a couple of users, and while I'm having some issues with Printing, the app is working and pulling data from another location database which is a typical notes Client app.

So conceptually it's looking pretty good for Xpages on the client.

I've not done anything with trying to pull attachments though. but did you see Stephan's post on this topic today? That might help you.

Matt White responded to my earlier question about the attachment which is along the same lines as Stefan's.

http://iqjam.net/iqjam/iqjam.nsf/questions/20100622_XPages_in_Notes_Client!!_How_t.htm

The issue here is, there is no server name, as the databases are on local machine (off-line). Leaving the attachment issue aside, I need to know the exact URL pattern/syntax to open a notes document from another local database.

Since the application is web application, the whole thing on local replica has to work in the Notes Client Firefox. So a "Notes:///" protocol is not what I am looking for.

Rajeev, I too responded to your query on the 8.5 forum.

Would something like this work for you?

http://localhost/folderName/dbName.nsf/$$OpenDominoDocument.xsp?documentId=2E9F4E6E258D9C748525774D00718D8E&action=openDocument

The only trick is figuring out what the path on the local machine is.
