This is my code in a Java agent:

org.w3c.dom.Document docXML = attachSegnatura.parseXML(false);
XSLTResultTarget out = new XSLTResultTarget();
out.setFileName(path + "SegnaturaRT.xml");
attachSegnatura.transformXML(xsl, out);
DOMParser parser = new DOMParser();
parser.parse(path + "SegnaturaRT.xml");
org.w3c.dom.Document docRT = ((DOMParser)parser).getDocument();

tFactory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
StreamSource xslSS = new StreamSource(pathFile+"Segnatura.xsl");
StreamSource xslRT= new StreamSource(pathFile + "Segnatura.xml");
FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(pathFile + "SegnaturaRT.xml");
transformer = tFactory.newTransformer(xslSS);
transformer.transform(xslRT, new StreamResult(fos));
transformer.reset();
fos.close();
DocumentBuilderFactory dbFactory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
DocumentBuilder dBuilder = dbFactory.newDocumentBuilder();
docRT = dBuilder.parse(new File(pathFile + "SegnaturaRT.xml"));

Anybody experienced something like this?

Servlet comunicate with Domino through DIIOP, and need DIIOP to istantiate Session object:

lotus.Domino.session = NotesFactory.createSession(server,login, password);

Thanks to Karsten Lehmann for its great library:

http://www.mindoo.com/web/blog.nsf/dx/18.07.2009191738KLENAL.htm?opendocument&comments

Now i can initialize a session using:

lotus.Domino.session = DominoAccess.getCurrentSession();

No more DIIOP needed!!

• Integrate with third-party products, which will require installation on your PC ( RMCHART (http://www.brothersoft.com/rmchart-35638.html) is a very good library);

• Using Microsoft Excel, if it is installed on your PC, creating a template that is then filled with data and processes them in a chart
  

Then I thought, why not use Google Charts?

So I did a test, that list step by step.

1. In the form that contains my data to process I created a pass-thru <computedvalue> containing the URL of Google (ie "http://chart.apis.google.com/chart?cht=p3&chd=s:Uf9a&chs=250x100&chl=January|February|March|April")
2. I opened the document with the form above, and I noticed a picture with a "red cross"
3. Right click on the picture I noticed the option "Show images", selecting the image appears correctly

Everything ok, but how to avoid each time you select "Show images"?

If you go on the properties of the document you will notice that there is a field "$DelayedImages" to 1, when the red cross is shown on the image
However if you have selected the option "Show Images" has a field  "$DelayedImagesOK" set to "ok".
So, in document form, i've created a computed field "$DelayedImagesOK" with value" ok "and you're done!

This is the result

It's happened during the development of an application where we had to connect a datasource to a Xpage. It appears that, in case you have two forms with the same alias, the list of available fields always refer to the first of two forms that is found in the list (we know, it's a very bad practice assigning same aliases to different forms, but we inherit this scenario from someone else...)

Only renaming the alias you obtain the right binding of the fields, even if the engine allows you to refer to the two blur.

By submitting the matter to two of the leading experts on the subject, Bob Balfe and John Mackey, we had confirmation that the problem exists.

UI Architect for IBM Workplace Designer has been alerted and will investigate the problem.

You will be posted ...

IBM press release

Lotus Notes give us a documented method that gets the text values of the Received items in a mail document.

stringArray = notesDocument.GetReceivedItemText( )

But sometimes it doesn't work...

Agent message: Received Item is not standard format - access with GetItemValue

Thanks to Raymond Neeves for his great function

After calling this, you can simply access all values of Received field with

Forall v In doc.Received
    msgbox v
End Forall

Here is what was proposed by us recently.

http://www.jmackey.net/groupwareinc/johnblog/johnblog.nsf/d6plinks/GROC-7G9GT4

and to Daniele Vistalli http://factor-y.com for this idea, for their help and the great powers.

Since Domino 8.5 is Eclipse based, you can switch to the Java perspective and add Java code to your project. The nsf database is the project.  (If you haven't done this yet, it is interesting to switch perspectives and look around at the structure and the code.)  By switching to the Java perspective, you open up your code to the importing or referencing of Java libraries, or the creation of your own classes.

Now we investigate how to create PDF using XPages. This tutorial summarize John's article, with some other things that you have to pay attention to.

Step by step.....

package mypackage;
import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import java.io.IOException;
import com.itextpdf.text.Paragraph;
import com.itextpdf.text.pdf.PdfWriter;
/**
* First iText example: Hello World.
*/
public class Test {
      public static void createPdf(String filename) throws Exception {	
       try {
            Document document = new Document();
            PdfWriter.getInstance(document, new FileOutputStream(filename));
            document.open();
            document.add(new Paragraph("Hello World!"));
            document.close();
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
     }
}

• select the project and then select Project->Properties from the menu (or right click)
• select the Java Build Path and click on Add Folder button.  Select the new source folder.  Click OK.
• In WebContent\WEB-INF add the folder called lib
• Right-click on it and select Import->File System->Browse and select itext jar (i.e iText-5.0.2.jar)
• import itext jar (i.e iText-5.0.2.jar) in your Java Build Path:  Project->Properties->Java Build Path->Libraries->Add Jar and select jar from WebContent\WEB-INF
• Note: you have to deploy jar in your server, in data\domino\java and append this line in notes.ini, JavaUserClasses variable

JavaUserClasses=......;C:\Programmi\IBM\Lotus\Domino\data\domino\java\iText-5.0.2.jar

this will not cause security problem when you call iText methods to generate PDF

function create(){ 
        mypackage.Test.createPdf("hello.pdf");
}

create();

That's all!

Error found is "a database handle to a remote database cannot be used by more than one thread"

This is my workaround.

Instead of doing:

AgentContext agentContext = session.getAgentContext();
lotus.domino.Document inDoc = agentContext.getDocumentContext();
Database db = agentContext.getCurrentDatabase();

 try doing this : 

AgentContext agentContext = session.getAgentContext();
lotus.domino.Document inDoc = agentContext.getDocumentContext();
String unid = inDoc.getUniversalID();
inDoc.recycle();
Database db = agentContext.getCurrentDatabase();
lotus.domino.Document inDoc2 = db.getDocumentByUNID( unid );

Now works!

Dim session As New NotesSession
Dim db As NotesDatabase
Dim rep As NotesReplication
Set db = session.CurrentDatabase
Set rep = db.ReplicationInfo
If rep.Disabled Then
  rep.Disabled = False
End If
Call rep.Save()

Il titolo parla da solo. Esempi di cosa NON fare e di cosa invece tener conto nel realizzare un'applicazione.

Il messaggio in generale è questo:

"se l'applicazione è esteticamente mal fatta, la prima impressione è che non funzioni"

Interessantissima demo di 8 minuti che ha dimostrato, con pochi accorgimenti (font-family, font-size, colori) come passare da un'interfaccia orrenda a qualcosa di accattivante
