There is no shared memory between the XPages JVM and the Agent JVM.

 

 

You could however use the run agent with document context introduced in 8.5.3 to pass variables into the agent.  

 

You don't have to save the document.  

 

So store the values to fields in a document pass that document as the context document to the agent and read the values from the fields in the agent. 

 

 

Paul, Thank you for the reply.  Didn't know that was possible.

But it won't help me out ...

If I want to make use of the document context, I need to set the security of the agent to 'run as webuser'.

In that case, the XML parser gives an error. 

 

So the main problem is, if the agent is run in name of the signer (so not the web user), I need to access some 'user' settings.  In a document would be fine, in a profile, in a variable, ... 

 So replace the agent with an XAgent (XPage with no UI, has it's render property set to false).

 

This will allow you to call java code elements to do the heavy java stuff, but still use Scoped Variables. 

 

If you are not familiar with XAgents, just google it or let me know and I will send you the base code. 

Paul, thanks again for your reply.

I used to have a javascript XAgent that generated the correct XML but the parser always gave an error.  The same error I had when the JAVA agent executes as web user.

So if I can access my 'context' I cannot get the xml parser to do its job, if I cannot access 'context' the parser works but I have no valid data ... 

 

This is the error. Even with /xml the same error is generated. The .xml itself look identical to the one generated by the JAVA agent.
Page Name: /grid_repeat.xsp
Script interpreter error, line=8, col=29: Error calling method 'parse(string)' on java class 'org.apache.xerces.jaxp.DocumentBuilderImpl'

     7: //var parsedxml = xmldocument.parse("http://localhost/appl/timex.nsf/javasqldata.xml");
->   8: var parsedxml = xmldocument.parse("http://localhost/appl/timex.nsf/inputxml.xsp");

 

Thanks for your help ! As single-developer-in-the-house it's not easy to find solutions from time to time ...

 Have you tried using the relative URL instead of the complete URL ??

 

Try using just the database name and XAgent name.   

 

If you can't get that working I will dig up my code example on this.   

 Sounds as if you may need to get a session as signer to run parts of your code in an XAgent. You can do that for just some of the code (say in a function) in your XPage.

After more than a week ... close to be very desperate!!!

 

If I select the java agent to run as web user, and 'call' the xagent like this :
