I have a strange issue with a piece of code.

I use

 

        // GET MAILFILE FOR USER
        this.getMailFile = function() {
        try {
                        var notesdir:NotesDirectory;
                        notesdir = session.getDirectory();
                        return notesdir.getMailInfo(this.strUser, false, false).get(3);
        } catch (e) {
                        return '';
                        }
        }

 

to get the mailfile for a user.  Further on, I try to open the file with the followong line of code:

 

        this.createEntry = function() {
                if (this.strSubject == "") return '3';
                if (this.strUser == "") return '5';
                if (this.getMailFile() == '') return '1';
                try {
                         var db:NotesDatabase = session.getDatabase(this.getMailFileServer(), this.getMailFile(), false);
                        //var db:NotesDatabase = session.getDatabase('', 'mail\\ukrause.nsf', false);
                        if (db == null) {
                                return '2';
                        } else {  

 

The code throws an exception 

Exception

Error while executing JavaScript computed expression
Script interpreter error, line=1, col=32: [TypeError] Exception occurred calling method NotesSession.getDatabase(string, string, boolean) null

 

First thougt was that it has to do with the backslash and so I used static values for server and file, but same error.

 

The code successfully  runs on another server ( same version ) 

 

My maildb has standard ACL settings with default and anonymous set to NoAccess. Server an I are Manager.

What I found so far is that on THIS server  getDatabase() only seems to work, when Anonymous has at least reader Access.

 

So, when I set Anonymous to Reader, getDatabase works. 

 

Anyone to open my eyes? There must be something obvious that I'm missing, but I'm too blind to see.
