Configuring Lotus Domino Operation Services
When you configure adapter services, define them in user-defined packages rather than in the WmLotusNotesAdapter package. This helps you manage the package more easily. You create this package before you configure the adapter service. For details, see Lotus Notes Adapter Package Management.
The Lotus Notes Adapter installation includes a single template from which all Lotus Notes services can be configured through Designer.
Note:
Before you configure an adapter service, you must create the adapter connection you plan to use with it. See Adapter Connections.
*To configure an adapter service
1. Review the steps in Before Configuring or Managing Adapter Services.
2. Start Designer.
3. If you are using Designer, perform the following:
a. Right-click the package in which the service should be contained and select New > Adapter Service.
b. Select the parent namespace and type a name for the adapter service.
c. Click Next.
4. Select Lotus Notes Adapter as the adapter type and click Next.
5. Select the appropriate Adapter Connection Name and click Next.
6. Select the Domino Operation template and if you are using Designer, click Finish. The service is created and its parameters and controls are displayed in the Designer.
7. Select the Domino Operation tab and specify the following values:
Field
Description/Action
Lotus Domino Class
Displays the available classes. Select the Domino class that provides the type of action you want to perform:
*If you are configuring an adapter service that creates the session object for the Domino Server, select the lotus.domino.Session class.
*If you are configuring an adapter service for any other Domino operation, select the class for that operation. See the Lotus Domino Toolkit for Java/CORBA for information about the classes.
Domino Class Method
Displays the methods for the selected class. Select the appropriate method that is available on the selected Domino object:
*If you are configuring an adapter service that creates the session object for the Domino Server, select the createSession method.
*If you are configuring an adapter service for any other Domino operation, select the method for that operation. See the Lotus Domino Toolkit for Java/CORBA for information about a method.
Primitive
By default the adapter service generates the input and output signatures as Java data primitives. Do not select this option to use the default.
However, you can force the adapter service to generate the signatures as Strings. In this case, select this option.
Note:
See Built-In Services Reference for information about the adapter services and how they are provided in Designer.
8. The input and output signature parameters for the selected class and method are shown below the Primitive check box. For information about the parameters and return values for the selected class and method, see the Domino Objects for Java Reference Guide in the Lotus Domino Toolkit for Java/CORBA documentation.
9. You can select the Adapter Settings tab at any time to confirm adapter properties such as adapter type, connection name, and service template, as needed.
10. For information about using the Input/Output and Settings tabs, see the webMethods Service Development Help for your release.
11. From the File menu, select Save.
