150. Java and Eclipse contains a rich set of API's that you can use when developing plugins for Lotus clients

151. Knowing the API's available to you is crucial

153. Logging

154. Notes backend

155. Notes frontend

158. To tell the caller we're done we use callbacks or listeners

159. Harder to grasp

160. Used in AJAX – you request data in the background and once the data has been fetched you are told

162. Allows for easy background processing

163. Very simple to use

164. Allows scheduling of jobs (“run this code in 2 minutes”)

165. Allows weaving of jobs

166. Allows for listening to job status etc.

169. HIGHLY recommended article: http://www.eclipse.org/articles/Article-Concurrency/jobs-api.html

171. It's – surprise, surprise – called the “UI thread”

173. Attempts to access the UI (i.e. set the text of a label) outside the UI thread will fail with an exception

175. Using Job in code public void fireOnTheEmpire(int initDelay, final String jediName) { // create recurring job to poll web service new Job("Poll the Force!") { protected IStatus run(IProgressMonitor monitor) { // invoke endpoint using input String srvc = “http://moon5.tatooine.com/JediFinder”; WSFacade facade = new WSFacade(srvc); String result = facade.fire(jediName); // do something with the result ... // reschedule this job (in 5 mintues) this.schedule(5 * 60 * 1000); // return return Status.OK_STATUS; } }.schedule(initialDelay * 60 * 1000); }

176. Using UIJob in code final List lstJedis = new List(parent, SWT.NONE); ... public void psssst( final String[] jedis) { // since we're called in a background process // use that UIJob we learned about to update the UI new UIJob("Load Jedis") { public IStatus runInUIThread(IProgressMonitor monitor) { // update UI for (String jedi : jedis) { lstJedis.add(jedi); } // return status return Status.OK_STATUS; } }.schedule(); }

177. Don't Go To The Dark Side! public void createPartControl(Composite parent) { final Label txt = new Label(parent, SWT.NONE); new UIJob("Indicate job starting") { public IStatus runInUIThread(IProgressMonitor monitor) { // update label txt.setText("Turning star cruiser (" + new Date() + ")..."); // do long running task try { Thread.sleep(5000); } catch (Exception e) {} // update label txt.setText("Done turning star cruiser (" + new Date() + ")..."); // schedule this.schedule(5000); // return return Status.OK_STATUS; } }.schedule(5000); }

180. You perform some background operation (e.g. load data from a web service or similar)

182. We do it by nesting Job instances

183. A nice example of how a Jedi does it! public void widgetSelected(SelectionEvent event) { // update label to tell user we're starting off list.add("Starting to run code (" + new Date() + ")...", 0); // create job for background operation and schedule it new Job("Long running job") { protected IStatus run(IProgressMonitor monitor) { // do operation that possibly takes a while downloadEntireGalacticLibrary(); // call back into UI to tell user we're done new UIJob("Update UI") { public IStatus runInUIThread(IProgressMonitor monitor) { list.add("Done running code (" + new Date() + ")...", 0); return Status.OK_STATUS; } }.schedule(); // return return Status.OK_STATUS; } }.schedule(); }

185. Add selection listener

186. Load data from the web

187. Once call is done update the UI

190. ad201 ## ## ######## ## ## ####### ## ## ####### ######## ## ######## #### ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## #### ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## #### ######### ###### ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ######## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## #### ## ## ######## ######## ######## ####### ### ### ####### ## ## ######## ######## ####

194. Log the current sunrise and sunset

195. Enable logging

197. Basic usage is almost the same as you know and love

200. DO use the Job API and the supplied NotesSessionJob new NotesSessionJob("Access Notes data") { public IStatus runInNotesThread(Session session, IProgressMonitor monitor) throws NotesException { // print username System.out.println(session.getDatabase(null, “names.nsf”).getTitle()); // return return Status.OK_STATUS; } }.schedule();

202. NotesUIView

203. NotesUIDocument

205. Ryan (and team) wrote it and bridges a MAJOR gap in the Notes product as it gives us access to the Notes UI from Java

207. Supported from Notes 8.5.1

209. Example project available from OpenNTF.org (“Java UI API Exerciser”)

212. Listen for selection events and view entries

214. Access to backend document

215. Edit / Field / Modify listeners

218. Place the email addresses of the user's contacts in the list box

219. Use the composeDocument API to compose an email to a selected contact with the current sunrise and sunset
