Well, sometimes you just have to explain your problem to find the solution.
In thoroughly describing the problem, I ended up trying to use a JDK 1.6 compiler compliance level (under preferences - Java compiler). And that actually worked!!!
So building an agent with a structure like this you can debug Java agents directly in Domino Designer:
package dk.dalsgaarddata;
import lotus.domino.AgentBase;
import lotus.domino.AgentContext;
import lotus.domino.Database;
import lotus.domino.DocumentCollection;
import lotus.domino.NotesException;
import lotus.domino.NotesFactory;
import lotus.domino.NotesThread;
import lotus.domino.Session;
import dk.dalsgaarddata.debug.DebugAgentContext;
/* ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Created: 2009.04.21/Jda
Revised: 2009.04.29/Jda - v.1.1
Agent template....
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ */
public class AgentTemplate extends AgentBase {
// DEBUG: For Eclipse debugging - see main method at the end of this class.
// Beginning of "ordinary" Lotus Notes/Domino Agent....
private Session mySession = null;
private AgentContext myContext = null;
private DD_BackendLog myLog = null;
private void cleanUp() {
try {
if (null != myLog)
myLog.end();
if (null != mySession)
mySession.recycle();
} catch (NotesException ne) {
System.err.println("Error cleaning up log and Session.");
}
}
// Lotus Notes/Domino entry point...
public void NotesMain() {
try {
if (mySession == null) {
mySession = getSession();
myContext = mySession.getAgentContext();
}
SessionContext.getInstance(mySession, myContext);
myLog = SessionContext.getLog();
System.out.println("NotesMain Started....");
// Your code goes here....
myLog.information(".... completed!");
} catch (NotesException ne) {
myLog.error("Agent ERROR: NotesException = " + ne.text);
myLog.writeStackTrace(ne);
} catch (Exception e) {
myLog.error("Agent ERROR: Exception = " + e.getMessage());
myLog.writeStackTrace(e);
} finally {
cleanUp();
}
}
/* Instructions for debugging!!
// TODO - adjust run configuration
You need to add VM arguments, e.g.:
-Dsun.boot.library.path="c:\\Lotus\\Notes;c:\\Lotus\\Notes\\jvm\\bin"
... and you need to add a PATH environment variable, e.g.:
PATH c:\Lotus\Notes
*/
// Remember to rename these constructors when duplicating this code to a new agent!!!
// ... if not handled by Eclipse when pasting a copy ;-)
public AgentTemplate() {
}
public AgentTemplate(Session s, AgentContext c) {
this.mySession = s;
this.myContext = c;
}
// Entry point for Java program (when running from Eclipse)
public static void main(String[] args) {
// By example from Bob Balaban "The two-headed beast". See more at:
// http://www.bobzblog.com/tuxedoguy.nsf/dx/DominoAgents-Eclipse_v2.pdf/$file/DominoAgents-Eclipse_v2.pdf
System.out.println("main Starting....");
Session s = null;
Database d = null;
DocumentCollection dc = null;
AgentContext ctx = null;
System.out.println("NotesThread.sinitThread()....");
NotesThread.sinitThread();
try {
System.out.println("createSession....");
s = NotesFactory.createSession();
System.out.println("set database....");
d = s.getDatabase(DebugAgentContext.ECLIPSE_SERVER, DebugAgentContext.ECLIPSE_DATABASE);
System.out.println("Database: " + d.getFileName() + " on " + d.getServer());
System.out.println("set debug context....");
ctx = new DebugAgentContext(s, d, dc);
// Create the agent object, invoke it on NotesMain(), the way Domino does
System.out.println("create agent object....");
AgentTemplate agent = new AgentTemplate(s, ctx);
System.out.println("call agent....");
agent.NotesMain();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} finally {
try {
if (s != null)
s.recycle();
} catch (Exception x) {
}
NotesThread.stermThread();
}
} // end main - and Eclipse entry point
}
I have left my "print" commands in the code for easier testing. Obviously, you would remove them from your real template.
Another thing that may have contributed to getting this to work is that I changed the case of the configuration parameters to match exactly the same upper/lower case as the directories are on the disk.
