How do I access "session.DocumentContext" with in an XPage with SSJS?

Category: Server Side JavaScript
Platform: Not Applicable
Release: 8.5.3
Role: Developer
Tags: session DocumentContext SSJS
Replies: 1

Please forgive this newbie question, but I have a LotusScript agent called "MyAgent" that sets a value like so:

Set context = session.DocumentContext
context.myLinks = "SOME DATA"

...and then I invoke the agent from the XPage like so:

var agent = database.getAgent("MyAgent");
agent.runWithDocumentContext(mydoc.getDocument());

(...where <xp:dominoDocument var="mydoc"...)

How do I access the "myLinks" field in the XPage? ...what is the syntax/object I should be using? I've tried something like:

<xp:text escape="false" id="computedField6"
value="#{javascript:mydoc.getItemValue('issueLinks');}">
</xp:text>

...but this does not work.

Any help/advice is greatly appreciated!
Thanks,

a

SOLUTION FOUND: How do I access "session.DocumentContext" with in an XPage with SSJS?

This one was tricky! It is essential to check the "Run as Web user" checkbox in the "Security" tab of the LotusScript agent, otherwise you will get strange exceptions thrown (in my case it was a "TypeError" exception). I figured it out by looking at this very helpful blog post:

It would be great if IBM could include this in their reference documentation.
