I want to create an application in unix using the lotus notes C++ API, which can retrieve the Calendar Inforamation from the Domino Server (Placed in any location) and display it to the user.
User will provide the Server IP address, Username and Password and I am planning to retrieve the Calendar information from that server and display it to that user.
I am using Unix environment to deploy this application where i wont be having notes client or domino server installed.
My Question is :-
Is there any limitation of C++ API to use in these scenarion, I mean “Striking a Domino Server placed anywhere (On Internet)”
Any other limitation of Using C++ API?
I didnt get much help on the API documentation.
thanx a lot for any reply.

You didn’t have this info in your other post (on which I responded as well):
-
C++ API needs to have a domino/notes environment installed. (on Linux/UNIX this means: domino server). Does not have to be running though.
-
C++ API can only connect to the server using NRPC (ie: needs notes user.id file – name/password does not suffice).
If this does not suffice, you can consider either using Java instead of C++ which gives you CORBA/DIIOP access to the servers (ie: uses DIIOP server task, no local environment required, internet username/password access suffices).
If you absolutely, positively need to use C++, you will be limited to either going the C++ API way, or implementing the requested functionality by using HTML/XML over HTTP.

Thanx for the info Bram,
I want to create a recurring appointment using the C++ API. But as mentioned in C++ API help it doesnt support the recurring events creation.
So i thought for going the C API, but i didnt get much help whether we can create the recurring appointment using C API or not.
could you please tell me if you have any information regarding that.
Or is there any way to create the response doc using the C API.
thanx
