I have an existing database that uses computed fields. As long as I cannot update computed fields with lddj, i think of transforming these computed fields to “editable” type. Will it cause any harm on existing documents? Is there anything i should do before/after changing fields type?
Subject: changing computed fields
There should not be any harm to existing documents, except that if they are edited the value will not necessarily recalculate (but it sounds like that’s what you want). LDDJ (Lotus Domino Driver for JDBC) is probably not the best/most flexible mechanism to do document updates, however. Is there a reason you can’t use the DOM from Java?

Well, I tried lotus toolkit for java. But I could not make it work right. I am working on domino 6.0.1 on a windows 2000 box. When I try to create & update documents with toolkit I get several errors. One is that: “java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: NIncRefCount”. Is it better to use toolkit then lddj? I don’t belive that toolkit will work just right with my enviroment.
