Examples: getLastEntry and getPrevEntry methods

  1. This agent gets all the entries in a view entry collection from last to first.

    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();
      View view = db.getView("By Category");
      view.setAutoUpdate(false);
      ViewEntryCollection vec = view.getAllEntries();
      ViewEntry tmpentry;
      ViewEntry entry = vec.getLastEntry();
      while (entry != null) {
        System.out.println("Entry is at position " + 
        entry.getPosition('.'));
        tmpentry = vec.getPrevEntry();
        entry.recycle();
        entry = tmpentry;
      }
    } catch(Exception e) {
      e.printStackTrace();
    }
  }
}
  2. This agent gets the next to last and second entries in a view entry collection.
    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();
      View view = db.getView("By Category");
      view.setAutoUpdate(false);
      ViewEntryCollection vec = view.getAllEntries();
      ViewEntry entryLast = vec.getLastEntry();
      ViewEntry entryFirst = vec.getFirstEntry();
      System.out.println("Next to last entry is at 
      position " +
      vec.getPrevEntry(entryLast).getPosition('.'));
      System.out.println("Second entry is at position " +
      vec.getNextEntry(entryFirst).getPosition('.'));
    } catch(Exception e) {
      e.printStackTrace();
    }
  }
}
