I’m writing some web services for Domino at the moment and the thought of trying to write Java code in the Domino Designer is just too much, so I’m coding in Eclipse and then importing the code back into Designer when I’m done.
Normally you just need to add notes.jar to the build path to import all of the lotus.domino.* classes but with web services you also need lotus.domino.types.*. For my own future reference, the extra jar you need to include is C:\lotus\notes\jvm\lib\ext\websvc.jar.
Not seen Domiclipse ?

Matt,
I am very new to Java and am in the middle of writing a web service consuming agent. One important thing I’ve learned is to pay close attention to the version of Notes/Domino (I’m currently at 6.5.4) as well as the corresponding JVM version.
I noticed your reference to websvc.jar and found that my 6.5.4 installation doesn’t have it. Must be a R7 item?
Anyway, the agent I’m currently working on only requires java.io.*, java.net.*, java.util.*, lotus.domino.*, org.w3c.dom.*
One thing is for sure, if not for Eclipse, I would have given up and abandoned any hope of ever developing anything in Java. Eclipse is AWESOME and Domiclipse (as soon as I master all its subtleties) makes it even better.
Mike,
I don’t have a ND6 client installed these days so can only apologise for not being specific on the version. Thanks for pointing it out.
Roll on the appearance of the Hannover Designer client!
Matt
