Using Java Mail with lotus notes

we are using lotus notes as default mail client and lotus notes server , there is no pop3 or smtp server as far as the intranet mailing goes,
i am developing an application in which i have a form which the users will fill in if they forget their logging in passwords, as soon as they submit the form they will get an autogenerated email which will send them their passwords. considering the above scenario can i use java mail api for this

No. If you aren't running the pop3 or smtp services then the Java mail API won't help you at all, unless there is a SMTP server somewhere that you can use to deliver mail to your Notes server. If you use Notes for external emails there must be a server somewhere!!??
You can use the Notes Java API to create and send a document if you have the DIIOP service running on the Notes server.

I use web mail from lotus notes and need Firefox to connect with my MacBook Pro. Since updating to version four I no longer have the ability to see or open attachements. What I am doing wrong?

I updated my MacBook Pro with version 4 yesterday. I access my company's lotus notes with this browser. I can access the web site, but cannot open attachments. The message I received is that I have removed the attachment. I haven't. The text that states the name of the attachment is there. I can click on it but it won't open and there is nothing in the attachment box in Web Mail.

Try the "light mode". Surprise :)

Integrating javamail with lotus notes?

Dear All,
The organization I am now working in have a well established email infrastructure based on Lotus Notes. We are now taking the responsibility to develop the web mail service for users accessing their Lotus Notes emails via WWW. In this case is it possible to use JavaMail to accompanish this task? I have no experience with Lotus Notes, what protocol do I have to use to communicate with Lotus Notes? If JavaMail is not suitable for this task, is there any other products which can help?
Thanks a lot for your help!

regards, wilLotus Notes/Domino enables one to access it's mail services via several protocols other than just Notes RPC. For example, one could use HTTP, POP3, and IMAP4...all accessing the same mail backend services. Mail repositories are in the proprietary Notes database (NSF files). These databases contain designs which enable different behavior based on the the protocol/client accessing the mail store.
The Notes/Domino Server has all the above protocols native (as well as smtp) to the server, all you have to do is turn on the protocols you want to support, and vioala!...It's really quite a robust messaging infrastructure.
Based on what you described, I'm not sure why you'd need JavaMail...just leverage the services you already get with the Domino infrastructure.
Good Luck.

OVI Suite 2.0 doesn't sync with Lotus Notes!

I am disgusted with the new OVI 2.0! First it keeps bugging me to download and install it. Next I found out that it doesn't support sync with Lotus Notes. Unlike my Nokia PC Suite v 7.0, it doesn't sync at all with Lotus Notes.
Even worst, Nokia claimed that OVI Suite is the only application available from them.
What am I to do with my calendar and contacts entries on my Notes then? I will not hesitate to switch to a different mobile phone maker if Nokia doesn't fix this problem!

Hi, recommendation is to use Lotus Notes Traveler for S60 application for using Nokia device with Lotus Notes. Lotus Notes Traveler for S60 supports syncing email, contacts and calendar over the air with Lotus Notes servers.
That's recommended way to sync Nokia device's with Lotus Notes.
The Lotus Notes Traveler might be recommended, though I am working in a company that provides Lotus Notes Traveler it is not an alternative for me, since:
a. The company does not pay the data traffic costs on my phone, so I must cover the cost of use of Traveler from my own pocket.
b. Traveler have impractical limitations in the range of how long in the future calendar data is sync'ed.
Now, that is my situation, but not all companies does provide or plan to provide their employees with Lotus Notes Traveler, but they allows their employees to choose their phones themselves. You can say I am just being difficult, but they who have no alternatives are not. For them it is Nokia being difficult.
The current solution for most of us is to continue using Nokia PC Suite until it is time for a new phone, and then change to another mobile phone provider, if Nokia still has no new solution for sync'ing with Lotus Notes.
It is not wise of Nokia to remove a feature from its software that have made people loyal so far, and changing to other phones is, as we all know, easy, and Nokia can not afford to lose more customers. As customers most of us can, however, easily live without Nokia. I abandoned Ericsson some ten years ago as they did not provide new features and functions as Nokia then did. Now it is Nokia that discontinues features and functions and is slow to implement new ones.
With the exception of the calendar and contacts, which can be sync'ed as long as the PC Suite works, the Nokia backup solution does not backup much I can not backup by using the memory card and a computer (and/or the USB cable), and it will be a simple matter to drop that back into a mobile phone from another provider, and sync my calendar and contacts into it as well.
I believe Nokia employees reading these discussions should forward their concern to their colleagues and superiors at Nokia, and I know the culture in many Finnish companies implies a relatively flat structure and allows for good contact along the lines of command in the companies, so I believe that can be done.
I would like to be able to continue using Nokia, but I am more dependent on features and functionality than brand.

HOWTO: send a mail through Lotus notes by Java Code

Dear All,
I have requirement with me, where i have to write a java code which will send a mail from lotus notes .
Could you please provide me sample source code and different options for implementing this .

Generally, whatever program you use to read mail, it will ultimately be sent by a "Mail Transfer Agent" which understand SMTP. I've got Lotus Notes here as my mail reader, but when my programs send mail they use java mail, and send the mail as SMTP using the appropriate mail server (sometimes called the "smart host"). It the mail is for my mailbox the MTA then forwards it to the Lotus Notes mail store.

How to use Crystal Reports XI release 2 Preview with Lotus Notes Scripts ?

 Hi all, How to use Crystal Reports XI release 2 Preview with Lotus Notes 7 Scripts ? Thank's 

Hi,
we are using Lotus Notes and Crystal Reports for preview and printing reports from our Lotus Notes Applications. We use the RDC object model. For previewing the reports we export them in an pdf-file and then start the PDF Reader to show the Preview. This works fine.
But with Crystal Reports > 11 the RDC Object Model is no longer supportet, so we look for another way to preview and print our reports.
I try to preview a report build with crystal report XI release 2 in my thick client (Lotus Notes) using java reporting component JRC, this report uses an native xml file as datasource. If the datasource is saved with the report everything works fine, but otherwise I have the following error:
JRCAgent1 detected an exception: javax.xml.namespace.QName: method getPrefix()Ljava/lang/String; not found
I also tried the .jars from Crystal4Eclipse. Doesn't work. When I use Eclipse to view the report everything works fine. The class QName exitsts in the jaxrpc.jar and in the xbean.jar, but only in the xbean.jar a Methode getPrefix exists.
This is what we tried:
Works fine with RDC. Doesn't work with JRC until now.
Did this help you ?
Perhaps you con help me with the JRC, because I'm a java newbee so any ideas could be helpful.

Is RDC integration with Lotus notes apps possible using CR XI and lotus 8

Hi,
We have reporting feature implemented in one of lotus notes application using crystal reports 6 (OCX) and as Crystal report is going to be upgraded to CR XI version in my organisation, we need to implement the same using RDC component.
Background (on how it has been implemented using CR 6 ) :-
i) Lotusscript generate few CSV file and pick a .RPT file from profile doc and places it under one folder on local machin (say x).
ii) RPT file is designed to pick data from CSV file using system DSN (data source).
iii) Data source (system DSN) has been configured with folder (x) that contains CSV and RPT file .
iv) Crystal report control object has been embedded in the lotus notes form and lotusscript code gets handle of control object and opens the report (RPT)file .
We have set up all neccesary environment and trying to implement above functionality using RDC component but when we are embedding the crstal report report viewer in a lotus notes form , it throws an error "An error has occured while processing a request on an object".
Please let me know if it possible using RDC or can anyone suggest me some other alternatives .
TIA

Hello,
You should be able to use the RDC in Lotus Notes. There are significant differences between the object model for the old OCX (crystl32.ocx) compared to the Report Designer Component (RDC) and it's components, the craxdrt.dll, crviewer.dll, etc.
I was able to find an older document that shows how to integrate CR9 into Lotus Notes: "[Using the Report Designer Component (RDC) in Lotus Notes|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/index?rid=/library/uuid/50ce64b3-241f-2b10-b792-9685d3815a21]". You can use this as a starting point to compare with your code.
The RDC object model hasn't changed much since CR9, but some of the runtime component references in the document may need to be correct (e.g. craxdrt.dll for v11.x vs craxdrt9.dll for v9.x).
It is worth noting that the RDC has been retired with the release of CR2008. CR XIR2 (v11.5) is the last version of Crystal Reports that uses the RDC. The suggested migration path is to move to the Crystal Reports .NET SDK. This means you'll have no upgrade path with a v11.x application.

Dan Kelleher

You can use InitialContext ic = new InitialContext() only if you are using a startup class, servlet or a JSP i.e
server side code.
If you are using a java client you need to use Context ic = getInitialContext();
Try this code
import java.util.*;
import javax.activation.*;
import javax.mail.*;
import javax.mail.internet.*;
import javax.naming.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.net.InetAddress;
import java.util.Properties;
import java.util.Date;
public class MailTo {
public static void main(String args[])
try {
Properties h = new Properties();
h.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY,"weblogic.jndi.WLInitialContextFactory");
h.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "t3://localhost:7001");
Context ic = new InitialContext(h);
Session session = (Session) ic.lookup("testSession");
Properties props = new Properties();
props.put("mail.transport.protocol", "smtp");
props.put("mail.smtp.host", "XX.XX.XX.XX");
props.put("mail.from", "[email protected]");
Session session2 = session.getInstance(props);
Message msg = new MimeMessage(session2);
msg.setFrom();
msg.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO,InternetAddress.parse("[email protected]",false));
msg.setSubject("Test Message");
msg.setSentDate(new Date());
MimeBodyPart mbp = new MimeBodyPart();
mbp.setText("This is a mail sent to you using JAVA Mail API and Weblogic Server");
Multipart mp = new MimeMultipart();
mp.addBodyPart(mbp);
msg.setContent(mp);
Transport.send(msg);
catch(Exception e)
e.printStackTrace();
}//end of main
}//end of class
We have shipped a javamail example in the samples\server\src\examples\javamail folder.

Can you please try to do the following in the steps .
1) Search for the file nslbe.dll which can be in the folder c:\program files\notes . Add the location to the PATH variable in the environment variables.
2) Go to the installation folder for Lotus notes which might be c:\program files\Lotus\Notes\jvm\lib\ext . In this folder please put the following files Notes.jar,mail.jar,activation.jar, nslbe.dll. Please do take care that you will need to add the files in the folder ..\jvm\lib\ext
3) Add the ..\jvm\lib\ext folder location to your environment variables.
4) Create a environment variable JAVA_HOME and add the location of the jre-bin,lib and the JDK-bin,lib to this.
Restart your Server and the system where in you want to install the connector and try to run the installation again .

Using Java Mail API from Tomcat

Hello,
Purely as an academic exercise I have written a JSP page which, upon being requested from the client's browser, should send me a default email using Java Mail Api.
here is the code :
import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;
import javax.mail.*;
import javax.mail.internet.*;
import javax.activation.*;
public class TestMail {
 static String msgText1 = "success this time 12";
 static String msgText2 = "This is the text in the message attachment.";
 public String sendIt() {
 String to = "<my email";
 String from = "<anything>";
 String host = "<my ip address of smtp server>";
 boolean debug = false;
 Properties props = new Properties();
 props.put("mail.smtp.host", host);
 Session session = Session.getInstance(props, null);
.....The code works fine as a stand alone app but when called from JSP page it hangs on the Session.getInstance line. I can only guess that this might be a security issue with the container not allowing access to the smtp server ?
Can anyone give me a clue ???

Your Tomcat log files should spell out the problem for you.
My Tomcat installation does not come with the Java Mail API. I had to add the mail and activation jar files to the server/common.lib directory (or the server's shared/lib or the WEB-INF/lib of your application.)
HTH.

Set up Workflow with Lotus Notes

Does anybody know a procedure or a guide to configure the Sap Workflow with Lotus Notes?
I would like to do a scenario looks like follow:
- a user create a purchase order on Sap;
- the workflow system sends a email to an approver (to Lotus Notes);
- the approver reads the email and can approve or reject. This step is done inside Lotus Notes.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Renato.

Hi ,
You can achieve it in following simplest
1. Create a simple BSP page for approval and Rejection.
Send the link of this page in the mail to the lotus notes server . Lotus notes user will open the mail and he will click on the link to get the BSP page .
Handle the process that should happen after the user makes an action in the "OnInputProcessing" event of the BSP page.
Pls reward if useful.

Connect STS with Lotus Notes

Dear Gurus:
I need to connect the "send mail" option in STS with Lotus Notes.
How can I do this?
Thanks in advance!
Pablo.

Hi,
This is more related to connecting sap to lotus notes (nothing to do with STS). Talk to basis about this there's a step by step guide on notes site on this. they will have to create a RFC destination to notes box also configure the nodes using tcode SCOT.
Let me know if you need any more information.
thanks
