JavaConnectJavaConnectAccess Java Classes From LotusScript
Instantiate a Java objectReference the object through a variantGet/Set public propertiesInvoke public methods
ExampleDim jsCurrent as New JavaSessionDim jcMyClass as JavaClassDim varQuotes as VariantSet jcDave=jsCurrent.GetClass(“davesClass”)Set jcDave.favoriteBook=“Atlas Shrugged”Print jcDave.favoriteAuthor=“Ayn Rand”varQuotes=jcDave.getFavoriteQuotes
JavaConnectJavaConnectLotusScript/Java Data type Mappings
Byte – byte Integer – short Long – int Boolean - boolean Float – float Double – double String – java.lang.String
JavaConnectJavaConnectLimitations
Single dimension arrays only No thread support in LotusScript Only simple data types and
JavaObject references can be passed to Java
New Built-in FunctionsNew Built-in Functions Split:
Similar to @Explode, returns an array of strings that are substrings of a specified, delimited string
Split(strExpression as String[, strDelimiter as String[, intCount as Integer[, intCompare as Integer]]]) as Variant
Join:Similar to @Implode, concatenates an array of strings and returns a single, delimited string
Join(varSource as Variant, [strDelimiter as String]) as String
StrToken:Similar to @Word, returns a specified word from a text string
StrToken(strExpression as string, strDelimiter as string, lngWordNumber as long, intcompMethod as integer) as String
New Built-in FunctionsNew Built-in Functions Replace:
Similar to @Replace, replaces specific words or phrases in a string with specified words or phrases
Replace(varSource as Variant, varFindArray as Variant, varReplacementArray as Variant[, intstart as Integer[, intcount as Integer[, intcompMethod as Integer]]]) as Variant
ArrayUnique:Similar to @Unique, removes duplicate elements from an array
ArrayUnique(arrSource [,intCompMethod ])

Replaces older file manipulation methods such as Open, Close, Input Print, Write
Use CreateStream method in NotesSession
NotesXSLTransformerNotesXSLTransformer
Allows to transform DXL through XSLT
Use CreateXSLTransformer method in NotesSession
Input: Stream, DXLExporter, XSLTransformer
OutPut: Stream, DXLImporter, XSLTransformer
Methods: AddParameter, SetInput, SetOutPut, Process, SetStyleSheet
Remote DebuggerRemote Debugger Debug LS agents running on Domino server Must load Remote Debug Manager addin Runtime agent information is captured in a
queue, which can be view Remote agents can be killed Features:
Attach/Detach agent Continue/Kill agent Step (Step into, Step Over, Step Exit) Get/Set breakpoints Inspect/Modify variables Remote
