If you want to work only with values present in a view you may try this:

 

var vw:NotesView = db .getView('ViewName');

var ve:NotesViewEntry = vw.getEntryByKey('XXXX', true) ;

 

where XXXX may be user name. 

 If you want to work with whole document you just have to slightly modify previous code:

 

 var vw:NotesView = db .getView('ViewName');

 

For documentation of NotesViewEntry and NotesDocument classes refer to Designer help (Help->Help contents->Lotus Domino Designer XPages Reference)

 Thx for your quick reply.

 

I tried but was enable to make it work... 

 

I added the next code to a computed field on my xpage in the Properties Tab - Value / Bind data using javascript section:

 

var db:NotesDatabase = session.getDatabase('', 'names.nsf');

var vw:NotesView = db.getView('$VIMPeople');

var userDoc:NotesDocument = vw.getDocumentByKey('Administrator/ChrisOrg', true);

var userFunc:String = userDoc.getItemValue('Title(0)');

 

It doesn't seem to work and gives me as result userFunc insteat of the Title of the Person Document. 

 

Can you tell me what I'm doing wrong. 

 

Thank you very much.

var userFunc:String = userDoc.getItemValueString('Title');

 

method getItemValueValue returns instance of java.util.Vector so you would have to write this: 

var userFunc:String = userDoc.getItemValue('Title').get(0);

 

Thx for your reply.

 

I added the line that you gave me to the javascript code of a computed field on my xpage in the Properties Tab - Value / Bind data using javascript section:

 

var db:NotesDatabase = session.getDatabase('', 'names.nsf');

var vw:NotesView = db.getView('$VIMPeople');

var userDoc:NotesDocument = vw.getDocumentByKey('Administrator/ChrisOrg', true);

var userFunc:String = userDoc.getItemValueString('Title');

 

 It still returns me 'userFunc' insteat of the Title field from names.nsf!

 

Any idea? 

 

Thx in advance,

Hi, try to add one more line:

return userFunc; 

Thx again for your help.

 

It returns me nothing... I have totally no idea why!

 

 

I tried changing 'names.nsf' to something else, this generates an error in db.getView => This indicates me that the NotesDatabase is OK

Then I changed the '$VIMPeople', this generates an error on getDocumentByKey=> This indicates me that the getView is OK

Then I changed the 'Administrator/ChrisOrg', this generates an error on getItemValueString => This indicates me that the getDocumentByKey is OK

Changing 'Title' did nothing, no errors!

 

But now I'm sure that the begin of my code is OK...

 

Thx 

The method getItemValueString return an empty string if the item does not exist on the document. 

You'are right, my fault !!!

 

It's JobTitle that I filed in, Title is empty => reason why it returned me an empty string. 

 

Thank you very much for your time and assistance.
