Re: Open Notes Client application from XPages

Hi,

if you use a link you could do it with the "notes://" - Protocol:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xp:view xmlns:xp="http://www.ibm.com/xsp/core">

    <xp:link escape="true" text="Link" id="link1">
       <xp:this.value><![CDATA[#{javascript:
       var mailDBServer = "<SERVERNAME>" ;
       var mailDBPath="<PATH TO MAILFILE>"; /* Pathes uses slashes not backslashes! */
       "notes://" + mailDBServer + "/" + mailDBPath;
}]]></xp:this.value>
   </xp:link>

</xp:view>

Re: Open Notes Client application from XPages

Hi Svan,

Thank you very much, i managed to open an application by using your suggested code.

Curretly, i hardcode the server and file name to test out.

How about i need to get the server and file name value from the current document ?

Thank you very much !

Regards.

If your current document is in datasource "document1", you can modify the link like this:

    <xp:link escape="true" text="Link" id="link1">
        <xp:this.value><![CDATA[#{javascript:
var doc = document1.getDocument();
var db = doc.getParentDatabase();
var path = db.getFilePath();
var server = db.getServer();

        "notes://" + server + "/" + path;
}]]></xp:this.value>
    </xp:link>

Maybe the Filepath is containing backslashes. Then you have to use f.e. @ReplaceSubstring to change them to normal slashes.
