Hello, I’m a newbie to the IBM Lotus Notes/Domino system. I would like to ask that how louts notes talks with domino server, and what protocols do they use.
I search on the Internet and it is difficult to find related documents. So if you know of have any link to the document, please let me know. Thanks in advance.
Subject: Can use different protocols
You have NRPC which as mentioned is not documented externally. You can use NRPC though with Java and Note client installed (Notes.jar).
There is also C-API which can connect via NRPC.
After that you can use also use other protocols like. For examle: Web Services (SOAP/REST), DIIOP. (probably more).
Subject: NRPC uses port 1352
Subject: It’s a proprietary protocol
As far as I’m aware, the spec isn’t available. The only way to communicate with a Domino server is through a Notes client. Third-party tools (at least…the ones that I know of) that communicate with a Domino server must have a Notes client installation as well, and the third-party tool uses the client functionality to communicate with the server.
