Frank van der Linden presented on connecting XPages applications to Cloudant. He began with an introduction to Cloudant, describing it as the cloud version of CouchDB that stores data as JSON documents. He then covered how to connect to Cloudant directly via REST or through an OSGi plugin, and described storing and retrieving data from Cloudant using a Java connector. Finally, he demonstrated integrating Cloudant with an XPages application to store and search job documents, attachments, and rich text.
