Use Canonicalize in an xpages

I am creating read-only xpages that take data from a Lotus database.

Among these fields are some that contain the names of the users who worked on the documents, the fields are multivalue.

On my xpage I have inserted a MultilineEditBox so that all users are correctly extracted, I put as MultipleSeparator: @NewLine() so that they go to head.

However the users are displayed like this:

CN=Donald Duck/O=Duckburg

I would like only Donald Duck to appear.

I found that Canonicalize might work for me, but I can't seem to apply it to make it work.

Solution

  • Canonicalize = the format you already have. What you seek is the Common Name (CN), so

    @Name("[CN]", <YourfieldValues>)

    should work. I guess you want to define your value list with aliases, so that the display value is CN but the "real" values are in canonicalized format.
