Requesting servlets in a XPage in Notes Client

HCL Notes/Domino 8.5 Forum (includes Notes Traveler)

Subject:

Hello,

we have a question about Servlet Support in a Notes Client XPage (XPiNC:
We are implementing XPages in Web Client. In the XPage we are requesting business critical servlets which are running in the Domino Servlet engine.
The user is authenticated via Domino Web Login against the Domino Directory, so the servlet request is in a authenticated way.
Domino provides in this case a browser cookie, which contains the session data. This works well.

A fundamental new feature of an XPage is that it runs in Web Browser Client as well in the Notes Client.

In our application we provide historically two user interfaces. So our plan is to renew and consolidate the user interface of our application on the base of XPages,
so the customer can decide themselves if he wants to use the application in web or in the Notes Client.

Here is the problem:
There is no way / we find no way to request the servlet in the XPage in the Notes Client in a authenticated way with session of the Notes Client User.
For e.g. we want to use the standard Notes Client Login, but there is no session cookie available.
We think this conceptional gap of providing XPages in the Notes Client.

Please help.

Best regards
Thomas Höfer
