TwitNotes - deploying in Sametime

Thu, 27 Mar 2008 14:29:00 GMT

Deploying the TwitNotes shelfView (aka sidebar) component in Sametime 7.5.1/8.0 yields a nasty stacktrace from the underlying platform. I thought everything should work across both platforms with everything based on XPD. I haven taken care not to rely on Notes 8 API's such as the topology service but I guess that would yield a bundle dependency issue and not a stacktrace like this.

Anyone seen similar?

Java in Notes/Domino Explained: Stacktraces

Fri, 18 May 2007 06:47:46 GMT

Not much information on Java in Notes/Domino per say in this post but simply a pointer to a nice article on reading stack and tread dumps which is a must for all programming in Java.

Remember that as of Java 1.4 (Notes/Domino 7.x) you can use Java classes access the elements of a stacktrace. You can use this to further diagnose the trace and make a more intelligent decision on how to handle it. Look for the StackTraceElement class in the javadocs.
