I was thinking the new runWithDocumentContext(doc) call in 8.5.2 was going to allow the sending of an unsaved xpage document, or associated in memory NotesDocument, to an agent and allow the agent to work on that unsaved document.

 

I'm hoping it's my setup, but when I get the document in the agent, it only has one field - form, which is the name of my form associated with my xpage. None of the other xpage or form fields are available in the agent. I can set fields in the document and they get pushed forward to the xpage after the agent finishes, but I can't get a handle to any of the existing fields.

 

SSJS code in the button's onclick event:

 

var agent = database.getAgent("ContextAgent");
var doc = document1.getDocument();

if(null != agent) {
    try {
        agent.runWithDocumentContext(doc);
    } catch(e) {
        print("Error: " + e);
        return;
    }
}

 

ContextAgent code:

Dim session As New NotesSession
Dim doc As NotesDocument

Set doc = session.documentContext

If Not(doc Is Nothing) Then
    Print doc.said(0)
    Call doc.Replaceitemvalue("said", "Agent Value")
    Print doc.said(0)
End If

The first print statement shows nothing for the said field from the xpage, which should have a value of "1234". The second print statement shows "Agent Value", as it should, and that value is reflected back to the xpage once the agent completes and control is passed back to the SSJS.

Thanks, 

Scott.
