We've been using UOJ with WebSphere App Server since around 2003. Not quite the same as Domino, I realize, but at least under the same IBM Java middleware umbrella. I can't offer a lot the way of best practices, but I can say that the combination is robust and trouble-free. This is more OS related, but if you're connecting to or from a linux box you need to make sure the LANG environment variable is set correctly. The RedHat default is incorrect for UOJ (at least up to EL 5) and will result in MV delimiters being incorrectly translated into other ascii characters. RedHat EL 5 stores the LANG value in /etc/sysconfig/i18n and the official setting I was given by IBM is "en_US.iso885915".
Another gotcha I've run into in the past (also not app platform specific) is difficutly isolating bugs in UV subroutines that cause an abort. The result is a hung unirpc connection and a corresponding consumed license. If this problem happens in a frequently called subroutine, you can quickly find yourself with no UV licenses left. To isolate offending subroutines, I created a tracking subroutine that gets called at the beginning of each subroutine with the caller's name as an argument. The tracking subroutine does the following: EXECUTE 'DUM ':PROG.NAME Where DUM is a dummy VOC entry that does nothing. This allows me to see the last subroutine called by the hung UOJ session in the PORT.STATUS output. The one best practice I can offer is to have a UniBASIC front-end utility for every UniBASIC UOJ subroutine for troubleshooting purposes. That way if you run into the situation above, you can call the subroutine from TCL and step through it in the debugger. -John -----Original Message----- From: u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org [mailto:u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org] On Behalf Of charles_shaf...@ntn-bower.com Sent: Thursday, December 01, 2011 1:08 PM To: U2 Users List Subject: Re: [U2] Uniobjects for Java and Domino 8 Jim Stoner Said >>It would certainly be nice to find a small user group to ask questions >>and bounce around best practices.

The COM library with LotusScript is what I've done in the past as well. The direct integration with Java archives is very interesting to me, but I haven't gotten into it much yet.

It would certainly be nice to find a small user group to ask questions and bounce around best practices. I haven't tried using UniObjects for Java with Domino yet, but I have used the original OLE/COM version of UniObjects in LotusScript agents on Domino 8.5. We have been using that for some small-scale production jobs for the past year, and it has worked really well. The main problem I have is that the OLE/COM version of UniObjects hasn't been updated in years, and it doesn't seem to have a 64-bit version. I have looked for alternatives, like trying to register the UO for .Net client as an OLE/COM object, but for some reason that only exposes a handful of classes and methods; the vast majority of the functionality doesn't seem to be configured to work when accessed as an OLE/COM object. So unless Rocket releases a 64-bit version of the original UniObjects, my fallback plan is to move to UniObjects for Java, but I've been putting it off until I have some more time or find other people doing something similar to help motivate me. :-) Cheers, Jim Stoner Lead Programmer/Analyst SUNY Empire State College From: charles_shaf...@ntn-bower.com To: <u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org>, > Date: 12/01/2011 03:38 PM Subject: [U2] Uniobjects for Java and Domino 8 Sent by: u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org Has anyone used Uniobjects for Java with Domino 8?
