Is there a way to get write access to lotusscript’s output stream from external programs?
In other words, I’d like to have some kind of streams aggregation (sort of unix’s paste).
Subject: accessing LS output stream?
Is using Java an option? The Domino Stream class in th Java API can be chained with other stream classes.
Subject: RE: accessing LS output stream?
There will plenty of Java code, but mostly in external programs (servlets). There will be lots of database accessing, too.
So I’d like something more effective than accumulating potentially massive amounts of data in memory.
Of course, there’s always possibility that I’m just looking in wrong direction.

Then you should be able to write Java RMI program accessing data from Domino through Domino’s Java API (And the Stream class within that correspond to the LS NotesStream class)
Subject: no, this doesn’t seem to do it
Not exactly what I had in mind. I’d like to somehow access output stream of something (LS/Java) running in server context from external (java) app. In controllable manner, right, but not to extent of transferring actual entire classes implementations.
Please, please, anybody?

Still not clear exactly what you want.If you dont like java/corba connection you’re basically left with an http conversation.
You can post a command to a notes ls agent or java servlet which can generate a response in e.g xml.
Subject: RE: no, this doesn’t seem to do it
I want notes and servlets to cooperate in controllable and effective manner. I’ll need to access databases intensively.
Currently, as you point out, I’m left with either CORBA or with HTTP protocol, both seem rather inefficient for the job.
I’d try something like creating in-memory stream (in LS/java procedure), then connecting external datafeed (java app having ready response stream from database) to it.
Can something like it be done??
