Hello all,
We’re trying to synchronize our CRM web application with Domino using the server’s iiop interface, and the Java API. Everything works fine with creating meetings, contacts, etc, but as it stands, we’re only informed about new meetings when we go and search for them in the user’s databases on the Domino server.
We’d like to be a little bit more reactive when meetings are created, and we’re wondering if there is a way to have Domino send a message every time a document is created/modified/deleted in a user’s database. The notification could be anything, a UDP message, a SOAP message, an HTTP request.
Does something like this exist in Domino?
Thank you for your responses.

There is nothing built-in that will do what you want but you could code something that will do what you want.
The basic idea that I use is this. For each form that you want get notifications about, add the following:
-
In the PostOpen event make a note of all the ‘before’ values.
-
In the PostSave event make a note of all the ‘after’ values.
-
If any significant fields have changed create some sort of ‘notification’. In our environment we create a document which contains all the before/after values of the modified items and then pass that as a parameter document to agents in other databses which need to be notified.

Thanks for the responses! (I’m a little late in responding, but better late than never.)
What you propose Mr Frunobulax is interesting, but the target for our notifications is a J2EE application, not another Domino database. If the PostSave method is capable of sending an HTTP request, that would be an absolutely perfect solution. We’re a little new with Domino Designer, so we’re not sure what it can do…
Peter Narlund also suggested the OpenNTF project, which sounds interesting as well.
Between the two solutions, it looks like we might be able to get this thing working.

Trigger Happy might be a good solution for you.
