Rami, Richard,

I big thank you for the precious help you gave me...

Rami, you put me on the right way, I tested with code in the beforepageload of my xpage, I added the next piece of code to compute the documentID to open:

var db:NotesDatabase = session.getCurrentDatabase();

var vw:NotesView = db.getView('(vwU)');

var userDoc:NotesDocument = vw.getDocumentByKey(@Name('[CN]',@UserName(0)));

return userDoc.getUniversalID();

It works great, except that it generates an error when document does not exists, I then tried to add try / catch, without result...

=====================

Richard,

You're right, your piece of code is just perfect... also much better using distinguished name!

I also try to understand :

(nve == null)?null:nve.getUniversalID()

Means IF nve = null then null else nve.getUniversalID, I'm I right? this correspond to a shorter way of writing an if close... sorry for my lack of knowlegd, I just start with xPages and java.

Thank you very much!

Best regards,

Chris

Re:conditional operator

Yes Chris, that is known as the conditional operator or ternary operator (because it is usually the only 3 operand operator) and is available in many languages. It is a very useful shortcut for if(clause){value1}else{value2}.

If you return null for the documentID for a data source, it will switch from edit to create document mode.

Glad to be of some assistance,

Rich
