  1. Jake,

    As Nathan mentioned a refactoring of your application in XPages is required. You'll also need to block out all the 'old ways' of designing a domino web app and just think of how it can be done in xpages.

    For the subforms that contain all your layout html etc, just create custom controls to duplicate and extend the functionality. if you look at the learning xpages series I wrote you'll see I made custom controls for each of the main sections on my webpage, inside each custom control i have more custom controls for content and I can dynamically decide if I want them to render to screen or not at runtime ( that's where things start getting very powerful )

    Your CGI subform is probably no longer needed, you can access all the cgi variables directly in server side javascript.

    The one thing I'll say about xpages is that there is a learning curve that you need to get over but once you do you'll never want to design the old way again.

    read the Learning xpages series and pull apart the xpage apps you find on openntf, the discussion db in 8.5 and TaskJam from Matt, they will all help.
