Notes/Domino 6 and 7 Forum : HELP: DXL export options

Hi,

I have reviewed all the options that are currently available to me to export a Notes Document in XML (DXL) format. Here is a table of what I found:

Notes R5 - LotusScript
----------------------
the only way to Export data is to use Paul Ray's DXLSX.DLL wrapper. This works perfectly and the DXL contains everything that is in the original document.

Con: only runs on Win32 platform (DXLTools.DLL is Win32).

Notes R5 - Java
---------------
Here I can use the generateXML function to get the "simple" items. To get the other items (for eg. RichTextItem) I need to use parseXML on that Item. I then need to add these nodes to the origional DXL document.

Con: seems overly complex to me. I also need to add extra XML directives to be able to reimport the data that I exported!

Notes R6 - LotusScript
----------------------
Here the support seems perfect (to me anyway).

Notes R6 - Java
---------------
Same support as with R5! Where are the NotesDXLExporter (DXLExporter) classes so that I could export a document?

Con: same as R5

So here is my problem:
We have a back-end tool that allows us to archive a file. We currently export data from Notes via LotusScript (R6) and then use native Win32 calls to archive the DXL file.

I would now like to make this cross-platform. We already have the Java Classes to archive a file. I would now like to be able to create a DXL file in Java - but there is no DXLExporter class!

So how do I export a document in DXL format from Notes using Java?

Any ideas or have I missed the boat somewhere?

Thanx for any help given

PS: I have thought of using LS as the controlling entity. I could encapsulate my calls to Java in a script lib and LS would not really know that the archiving is being done via Java. I could then create the DXL via LS. This seems a bit "messy" to me ;o) The only bit of the puzzel that I am missing is being able to export the entire document in DXL via Java.
