hi,is their a way through which I can call a notes view and place it in an html page.

Any help will be highly appreciated.

  • If you want Java to access the View’s data it can do that directly, no web required.- If you want to embed a View into an HTML page you could try:

  1. Server-side include an URI to the Domino view and bypass Java entirely.

  2. Use JSP to “wrap” the view’s URI.

By URI I’d try the standard web-based view thing that Domino intrinsically support. Look in help for “Domino Web Commands”.

  • If you want Java to actually use a form/view like an user, then expose the app on the web and scrape it like any other HTML page. There’s no need to change how that’s done simply because it’s Domino serving it up. I personally haven’t written an HTML page scraper, but I’d think there’s info on that all over web. If I were going to do something like that I’d treat it as XML 'cause there’s tons of XML tools around for Java.

  • Hope this helps…
