Examples: getFirstItem method

  1. This agent gets an item and a rich text item for all documents in a database.
    import lotus.domino.*;
    public class JavaAgent extends AgentBase {
      public void NotesMain() {
        try {
          Session session = getSession();
          AgentContext agentContext = session.getAgentContext();
          // (Your code goes here) 
          Database db = agentContext.getCurrentDatabase();
          DocumentCollection dc = db.getAllDocuments();
          Document doc = dc.getFirstDocument();
          while (doc != null) {
            Item subject = doc.getFirstItem("Subject");
            if (subject == null)
              System.out.println("[ No subject ]");
            else
              System.out.println("[ " + 
                  subject.getText() + " ]");
            RichTextItem body = 
                  (RichTextItem)doc.getFirstItem("Body");
            if (body == null)
              System.out.println("No body");
            else
              System.out.println(
                    body.getFormattedText(true, 0, 0));
            doc = dc.getNextDocument(); }
        } catch(Exception e) {
          e.printStackTrace();
        }
      }
    }
  2. This agent demonstrates the work-around for getting multiple items of the same name. This is a work-around and creating multiple items of the same name is not recommended.

    import lotus.domino.*;
    
    public class JavaAgent extends AgentBase {
    
      public void NotesMain() {
    
        try {
          Session session = getSession();
          AgentContext agentContext = session.getAgentContext();
    
          // (Your code goes here) 
          DocumentCollection dc = agentContext.getUnprocessedDocuments();
          Document doc = dc.getFirstDocument();
          Item item = doc.getFirstItem("FooBar");
          while(item != null) {
            System.out.println(item.getName() + ": " + item.getText());
            item.remove();
            item = doc.getFirstItem("FooBar");
          }
    
        } catch(Exception e) {
          e.printStackTrace();
        }
      }
    }
