session.getDatabase

Hi,

From an XPages application, I need to check if the current user has access to another database.

Here’s my code:

var remoteDb:NotesDatabase = session.getDatabase(server,path,false);

if (remoteDb != null) {

var aDbAccess:Array = remoteDb.queryAccess(session.getEffectiveUserName());

var aDbRoles:Array = remoteDb.queryAccessRoles(session.getEffectiveUserName());

sessionScope.put(‘DbAccess’, remoteDb.queryAccess(session.getEffectiveUserName()));

sessionScope.put(‘DbRoles’, aDbRoles.join());

sessionScope.put(‘DbTitle’, remoteDb.getTitle());

}

This works fine if the user has access to the remote database, however, if he doesn’t, it fails. I guess it must be very trivial but I can’t see why it’s not working. Is the remoteDb object not null if the database can’t be opened?

Thanks for your help,

Etyien
