EmbeddedObject.extractFile() is not working in a Java Agent if the Agent is called from an xPage

Hi Guys,

I have a Java Agent which is used to extract an attachment file from notes document and store it in file system.

It works fine if i call the agent in WebQuerySave of a Lotus Notes Form.

But it donot extract the file if i call the same agent from the Xpage using SSJS agent.run();

The agent is executed, it even gets the handle of attachment, but it donot extract the file to my OS file System [windows].

Also it do not give any error.

I tried to create a dummy document with the extract file path just before the extract code,

" fName = basePath + embObj.getName();
tempDoc.replaceItemValue("fName", fName );
tempDoc.save();
embObj.extractFile(fName); "

it created the document and saves the file path correctly in a field.

Note:-

It works fine when its called from the WebQuerySave of a Notes form.
Also it is running on Localhost.

Let me know, if you have a work arround or solution.

Thanks :)

This sounds like a security issue. For access to the filesystem the runtime security level of the (Java) agent needs to be set to 2 or 3. You might also want to check the security settings in the server document, especially who's allowed to run unrestricted methods.

Is the file extracted if you run the agent on the server using a URL? (http://server/db.nsf/yourAgent?openAgent)

Hi Mark,

Thanks for you advice, well the problem is solved.

I am running the agent via http://localhost application

I have just selected "Allow restricted operation with full Administration rights". Its working fine.

It seems that when I run an agent from xPage on a localhost it is running with Anonymous and hence it was not extracting the file.
