Lotus Domino Designer 8.5 Help - Publishing the Notes URL of a selected document in a view on selection change

COMPOSITE APPLICATIONS - DESIGN AND MANAGEMENT

Publishing the Notes URL of a selected document in a view on selection change
When developing composite applications in IBMR LotusR Domino(TM) Designer, you can publish the Notes URL of a selected document in a view on selection change. You also do not have to use LotusScript to publish the NotesURL or use the '"column to property" mapping feature in the Column Infobox. The Notes URL is published by Notes automatically when the view selection changes.

Note This is true if you are publishing at least one view column property.

The consumer side of the application can then access the content in the IBMR LotusR NotesR document via the LotusScript API or Java(TM) API Session.resolve. For example:

ses = NotesFactory.createSessionWithFullAccess();

Object obj = ses.resolve(_url);

if(obj instanceof Document) {

Document doc = (Document)obj;

Vector auth = doc.getAuthors();

System.out.println(auth);

}

The general forms of URLs that address Domino objects are as follows:

protocol://host/database?OpenDatabase

protocol://host/database/view?OpenView

protocol://host/database/form?OpenForm

protocol://host/database/document?OpenDocument

protocol://host/database/agent?OpenAgent

In order to publish the built-in property for a specific view at least one other property needs to be published declaratively via "column to property" mapping. Additionally the composite application WSDL needs to contain the exact definition of the datatype and property. For example:

<types>

<xsd:schema targetNamespace="http://com.ibm.propertybroker.standardtypes">

<xsd:simpleType name="NotesURL">

<xsd:restriction base="xsd:string"/>

</xsd:simpleType>

</xsd:schema>

</types>

<operation name="somethingButValid">

<portlet:action name="somethingButValid" caption="something" description="something"/>

<output>

<portlet:param name="SelectedNotesDocument" partname="somethingButValid" caption="SelectedNotesDocument.caption" description="SelectedNotesDocument.description"/>

</output>

</operation>
