Problem with using Java Api for Domino

Hello All,

I am facing a particular problem in getting a columnName : columnValue mapping from a ViewEntry. As per the API reference the assumption is the View.getColumnNames() will give you a list of Column-Names in a particular order that should ideally map to the ColumnValues when you do a ViewEntry.getColumnValues().

Some possible distinctions I have observed are:

  1. Some columns with a Formula of “Not Defined” do not return corresponding entry values.

  2. Columns with Formula’s such as these strings " ", “” , " ".

  3. I am now stuck with columns which return values only when the document is open and do not return any values to the view. Eg- @DocLevel. Is there a way to catch hold of such values programatically?

Am I doing this entire thing right, or is there a much better way of doing this ?

Please provide your suggestions on this.

Thanks,
