How to Create and add Java Agent dynamically to a Lotus notes using Standalone Java Program

Question

Hi,

How to create and add an Agent to an existing database using a Standalone java application. I am trying the option of importing it through DXL as mentioned in this article ,but no luck. Is there any way to achieve this?

Any help or links will be very much appreciated.

Code

  DxlImporter importer = session.createDxlImporter();

importer.setReplaceDbProperties(true); importer.setAclImportOption(DxlImporter.DXLIMPORTOPTION_REPLACE_ELSE_CREATE); importer.setDesignImportOption(DxlImporter.DXLIMPORTOPTION_CREATE); importer.setInputValidationOption(DxlImporter.DXLVALIDATIONOPTION_VALIDATE_ALWAYS);

try { importer.importDxl(getDXLContent(), db); System.out.println("Imported successfully"); } catch (Exception e) { System.out.println(importer.getLog()); }

DXL

Please refer the this article section "Add an agent into the existing database" for the DXL.

I am not getting any error. while I print the logs. But when I comment importer.setAclImportOption line, I am getting "Unknown element 'database'" and "Unknown element 'agent'" and so on...

Thanks & Regards,

Yes, provided that you have at least Designer ACL access to the database (which is required to create or edit any design note*) in the context of your Java program. Note that most rational deployments do not provide higher than Editor access in a production environment, except to a few administrative IDs. DXL is the easiest way to do it, since it only requires that you create the source code for the agent (other methods involve bytecode compilation, odd encodings and the creation and attachment of JARs).

*There is one exception, that being that an Editor with Create Views permissions will allow you to create view and folder design notes.
