Dear Forum,
I need to create some drag n drop interfacing from Lotus notes Mail to some java based Content management system.
now when i drop a selected notes mail in the JAVA system i get some shortcut : [
C:\Program Files\IBM\Lotus\Notes\Data\workspace.metadata.plugins\com.ibm.rcp.csiviews\test sam.URL]
now i want to store the DXL of the mail into this JAVA system…
seeking for any clue how to get the dxl from this shortkut?
or any other approach to do the same ?
regards,
Samrat Roy

We have made a Drag n’ Drop plugin which handles Lotus Notes mail to Microsoft CRM by calling the MS CRM webservice. The user simply drag their mail to the plugin drop zone and then the plugin converts the mail to Mime format and call the Microsoft webservice.
To achieve this we had a look at the filenavigator project at OpenNTF - OpenNTF.org - The Open Source Community for Collaboration Solutions. This plugin has a drop zone and converts mail to EML (plain text in Mime format).
If you have a webservice interface to the content management system you can use the same approach as us. If you can pick up the converted mail from the file system to the content management system the file navigator will do most of the job for you. The file navigator is Java code made in the Eclipse framework. Maybe you can hook directly to your system?
Hope this puts you on the right track…
Kind regards,
Jørgen

Thanks Jordan, yes that was indeed a really useful hint. The widget seems to be working like charm and made my life easy!
By the way I would also like to share few more links with this form, which specifies ways to connect to domino from a standalone java code.
from a drop object if we manage to get the document UNID…we can use NotesFactory to connect to domino server and generate DXL for the drop document, and save it in some location.
The other way we can also use the DXL to generate notes document back to the Domino database.
The links are as follows:
