How to check if session is valid through java?

Hi,

I have the following code snippet

session = NotesFactory.createSession(server, user, password);

while(true) {

if(isSessionValid()) {

      //do something

} else {

     //login again

     session = NotesFactory.createSession(server, user, password);

}

}

In the above scenario, how can i implement the method isSessionValid()?

I believe there is a method session.isValid() but this is not available on all versions from 5.x to 8.x

Is there a way to check if existing session is valid?

Regards,

Priya

Subject: Idea…

session=NotesFactory.createSession(server, user, password);try {

session.createName(“somename”).recycle();

} catch(Exception e) {

session = NotesFactory.createSession(server, user, password);

try {

  session.createName("somename").recycle();

} catch(Exception f) {

  // Process a failure and exit

}

}

// session is valid now - do whatever

  • If this doesn’t work try a different method on session that interacts with the server. I selected “createName” out of the blue, literally. The intent is to attempt to use the session and see if it fails, rather than create a name.

  • Hope this helps…
