Q: 

C Notes API Vs Java API

Hi,

Lotus notes C APIs are powerful. Is Java APIs provide the same functionality? For example if I have to create a agent using Java APIs can that be achieved? I have seen C API implementation, but I couldn't find Java APIs.

Any thoughts on this will be helpful.

Thanks & Regards,

Srinivas

A: 

All Lotus Notes APIs build off the C API, so you can be sure you won't get more control using Java than you would using C.

However, that's not to say they aren't more limited. I know Java Agents are limited in the ways they can interact with the UI. If you are communicating with remote servers, and updating documents then the Java agent will work fine. If you need to prompt users for input, however, you should look at using LotusScript agents.

I am trying to create a Java agent dynamically for a database. So I have create a Importer using createDxlImporter(). But unable to find a way to create or import the agent into the database. Any ideas will be very helpful.

Hi Srinivas. That sounds like a new question, so please create a new one on Stackoverflow. This site is geared around one question per page, and if I or someone answers the question in the comments, it won't be easily discoverable for others. Plus you'll have a better chance of getting an answer if it is opened up to more folks than just me :)
