Q:

Update UIDocument in LotusNotes

I have been working on a Notes integration project and I am using the Domingo API for communicating with Lotus Notes. This API is very useful, however I don't see any NotesUIDocument class and limited support for RichText in Lotus Notes. I have checked in the Notes.jar file and even that jar file seems to miss the NotesUIDocument functionality. Does anybody know of any alternative for this ?

A:

NotesUIDocument is a LotusScript class which works because LotusScript support is embedded into the Notes client UI. When using Java, you generally work with the back-end classes such as Document (NotesDocument in LotusScript).
Why do you need access to NotesUIDocument from Java? Any possible alternative may depend on your specific needs.
Update: I don't believe you'll be able to get tight UI integration between the Notes client and a Java application. In terms of rich text, the Java classes in Notes.jar include a set of classes for rich text manipulation which will cater for the basic functionality, but you won't get as much rich text editing flexibility as you do through the Notes UI.
