Is there any comment that can be made about LotusScript as a server-sided scripting language for X-Pages? I can understand the need for JavaScript for client sided scripting but it seems like there is a lot more I can do server-sided with the power of LotusScript, including Object Oriented Programming. E.g. If I have already built classes in LotusScript for an application how can I get X-Pages to access these classes? Will this be an option now or in the not too distant future?
Subject: can call an agent
so that’s one way to get to existing LotusScript code.
Note that you can also directly call the Java api from server side JS, too.
Subject: which java API?
Firstly calling an agent is not really an integration =)
When you say Java API, do you mean the Domino Object model or ALL of Java?
For example could I use Log4J.
Cheers

Subject: you should be able to “just call” the Domino Java API
other Java APIs you would likely need to adjust the project (nsf) build path, make sure the jar is available, and then feel free to call it.
Subject: Would be nice if
we could add .jars to a database, and be able to use those jar’s from xpages. Makes it a lot easier to use external .jars
