Google Worksheets
JavaAgent/JavaBean
Xpages Application
System Requirements:
Download Domino Designer 8.5.3 Environment (DDE)
http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/downloads/ls/dominodesigner/
Download /Make available Google Spreadsheets API
https://developers.google.com/google-apps/spreadsheets/
https://developers.google.com/google-apps/documents-list/
Introduction:
In this tutorial, we are connecting to Google to read a Spreadsheet and listing its Worksheets using a button. Slight modifcation is made to existing code to convert to JavaAgent, JavaBean written to run code through Browser. See below for code samples to use to run the program, Xpages XSP file included..
Disclaimer:
Information contained in the following is presented as is. This tutorial assumes you have basic Lotus Notes Configuration, Programming knowledge, and are familiar with Google APIs.
Döcu Content JavaAgent/JavaBean/Xpages
At this point, we assume you have gone through the prior tutorial, and maintained JAR configuration to be able to use the Google Spreadsheet API. Copy and paste code below into DDE and submit a new Worksheet, areas of interests are highlighted for your convenience.

More than likely, you have also configured faces config XML file in this application. Load the Xpage to your Browser and click that button.

Full page design: Here is the button in question...
bottom part of the document
TIP: You may want to Extract part of the Spreadsheet listing code to loop through and list worksheet(s) by name via yet another Xpages form, or to existing submit page...
Conclusion:
You can now run code from a button to add Worksheets to existing Spreadsheet, publically available on Google Drive.
