Question about JSP Tags and Trusted Server

HCL Domino Domino Forum

For years we have had a JSP running on a Websphere server that used the standard Domino JSP tags for displaying a view from a Domino database. Up until now we have been going against a database that was on a Domino 6.5 server and it worked just fine. We have the JSP use a valid Domino User Name and Password for getting access to this database.

Now we are trying to run this same application using a replica of the same database that now lives on a Domino 7 server. But now instead of displaying the view information in the JSP, we get the following error message:

“domino:view:DOMINO_ERROR:Domino object error.: (4164) To open database (XXXXX!!xxxxx\xxxxxxx\xxxxx\xxx.nsf) on remote machines the server where the agent is running has to be listed by remote machine as trusted server”

Is this a new restriction of Domino 7 servers? Do we have to put the IP addresses of the Websphere boxes in the trusted server field of the the security section of the new Domino 7 server document?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Subject: Question about JSP Tags and Trusted Server

I think you’re looking in the wrong place. Your WS JSP code is running as a Domino user, not as a server. What is likely happening is that the JSP is calling something in the Domino database (looks like a run-on-server agent) that references another database – or even the same database, but with a hard-coded server name. That needs Domino-to-Domino communication, so your D7 server needs to be trusted by your D6.5 server. Or you could look at the Domino agent code and eliminate the server reference.

You were right. Even though the servlet was pointing to the Domino 7 server, one of the JSP’s had the name of the old Domino server hard-coded into it. When I changed the hard-coded name to the correct one, it worked fine.

Thanks for the help.
