Hello all!My problem is that I have to use the DXL functionality in Java, which is standard for Domino 6.5, on older platforms - e.g. 6.0 and 5.0. But, unfortunately, I’m not able to find it for download on the whole IBM site, and even using search engines like Google. If somebody knows, where to find it, or just has it - please help me, since I’m in trouble with my project!!!
Regards,
George

According to R5 help, you can use DXL with Java without any further downloads:
Using XML with Java methods
Domino Designer and Server include the XML4J Parser and LotusXSL Processor in the product so you can parse and transform XML data without a separate download. You can access XML representations of objects, parse, and transform the XML data, and generate XML representations of a document, through the following properties and methods in the Java backend classes:
generateXML method in Document
InputSource, InputStream, and Reader properties, and parseXML, and transformXML methods in EmbeddedObject
InputSource, InputStream, and Reader properties, and parseXML, and transformXML methods in Item
InputSource, InputStream, and Reader properties, and parseXML, and transformXML methods in MIMEEntity
InputSource, InputStream, and Reader properties, and parseXML, and transformXML methods in RichTextItem
For standalone applications, you should include the NCSO.JAR or NOTES.JAR file in the classpath for the lotus.domino classes. You should also include the XML4J.JAR file in your classpath to use the XML parser, and the LotusXSL.JAR file to use the XSL processor.
Note You must include the XML4J.JAR file in your classpath even if you only need to use the transformXML methods.
For applets that run in a browser, you should include the XML4J.JAR and/or XML4J.CAB file with the applet itself, to use the XML parser. To use the XSL processor, you should include the XML4J.JAR and/or XML4J.CAB file as well as the LotusXSL.JAR and/or LotusXSL.CAB file with the applet.
For further details on the XML4J parser and LotusXSL processor, visit the Alphaworks Web site at www.alphaworks.ibm.com.

Thanx to Your reply!The point is that, my exact problem is the following: I need to create content of the RT field, including such things as buttons with dynamically generated code, formatted tables etc. It’s quite easy to do this with the help of DXLImporter: just form a proper DXL in your code and then import it as the content of RT field. Another task is to be able to dynamically generate some design elements, which could be done as well with the help of DXLImporter. Unfortunately, DXLImporter is not available in R5. Sorry, but the provided excerpt from the R5 help doesn’t look like a way to solve the problem… So, any other suggestions?

The R5 XML toolkit wasn’t nearly as extensive or as robust as the native DXL functionality in Notes and Domino 6+. There wasn’t as much data available to work with, and the DXL schema isn’t directly compatible with the current one. Surely you can run the required code on a Notes or Domino 6 or higher box in your environment.
