Java connection to a notes database

I am currently attempting to write a Java application that is capable of accessing a lotus notes database. So far I have not been able to establish a successful connection with the lotus notes server, and am hoping that someone will be able to show me the error of my ways.

The server is running notes on a standalone machine. I am attempting to access it via a CORBA connection using the code shown below.

I have my classpaths set correctly and am using the NCSO.jar file that resides on my notes server.

The code is as follows

package pk_lotus_test;

import lotus.domino.*;

import java.awt.*;

import java.awt.event.*;

public class lotus_test

{

public static final String lotus_database = "DATABASE.NSF";

// the session object

  protected Session notes_session;

  // the database object

  protected Database noted_db;

  // the command

  protected String notes_command;

  // the command parameter

  protected String notes_command_parameter;

  // the host domain name/IP address

  

  protected String notes_domain ;

  // the domino user

  protected String notes_username; 

  // the domino user password

  protected String notes_user_password ;

public lotus_test()

{

notes_domain = "HOST NAME";

notes_username = "USERNAME";

notes_user_password = "PASSWORD";

}

public static void main(String args)

{

lotus_test lotus_test = new lotus_test();



System.out.println("JAVA APPLICATION STARTED");



try {

//lotus_test.notes_session = NotesFactory.createSession(lotus_test.notes_domain);

lotus_test.notes_session = NotesFactory.createSession(lotus_test.notes_domain, lotus_test.notes_username, lotus_test.notes_user_password);

} catch (NotesException e) 

{

  //System.out.println("error");

  System.err.println("error" + e.id + " - - " + e.text);

}

}

}

when I run this code I get the following error:

JAVA APPLICATION STARTED

error4486 - -

Process exited with exit code 0.

The error code = Public Const lsERR_NOTES_INVALID_USERNAME_PASSWD = 4486

I have even tried downloading the examples that are in the java toolbox on the sandbox and I can’t manage to get those to execute correctly either.

I’d appreciate any help adviec that you may have.

Thanks in advance for your help

David Ferguson.

What are you using for the username value? If you are using anything other than “Firstname Lastname” (such as a short name) you may not be able to authenticate.
