I'm kind of brain fried from some other stuff I'm working on...

 

I'm not sure I've tried it that way...  I think I'm more apt to put that code into a SSJS function in a script library and just import that.  I guess the object might not "live" and it would be recreated each time but I'm not sure if that's a real concern from a performance basis. 

 

I could be wrong I guess...  But still I'd rather use a function...

dataContexts may be your answer here. They're very easy, they just have two properties of note -

 

 

If you're calculating everything in the dataContext, you shouldn't encounter any problems with recycling of your Domino objects.

 Howard,

 

you can't store a document object in Scope because it can't be serialzed.  The solution, i THINK, if you want to do something like that is to convert the notesItems into a hashMap.   

Hi,

 

I'm having trouble with this - it seemed to work to start with, but I'm now having problems.

 

Like you, I am trying to make a global variable of a Notes object (a view in one case and a document in another)

As far as I can see the DataContext variables are subject to the same rule/problem as scoped variables, in that they cannot be domino objects.

I get the page come up correctly the second time I access it (the first time the db path that I need to find them is not set in applicationScope, but I'll worry about that later).

The third and subsequent accesses I get an error: 

java.io.NotSerializableException: lotus.domino.local.Document
lotus.domino.local.Document

 

To get out of this I need to restart the http task on the server.

 

I did notice that if I set the application properties such that the xpages are all cached in memory the problem goes away. Whilst I'll probably do that for the production system as long as the load is not too high, I'd rather do this properly now to prevent real problems in future.

 

So do I have to move back to putting them in the beforePageLoad (which like the top question I was going to do originally) or is there something I've missed?

 

Thanks

Tom.
