Authors (NotesDocument - JavaScript™)

Read-only. The names of the people who have saved a document.

Defined in

NotesDocument

Syntax

getAuthors() : java.util.Vector

Usage

If a name is hierarchical, this property returns the fully distinguished name.

This property does not return the names of people who have permission to edit a document (as found in an item of type Authors). Therefore, the people returned by the Authors property and the people listed in an Authors item may differ.

Examples

This button gets all the authors in a database or a subset of a database.
// Open database - get name from user
var db:NotesDatabase = session.getDatabase(null, requestScope.query, false);
if (db == null) {
	requestScope.status = "Cannot open " + requestScope.query;
} else {
	requestScope.status = "Opened " + requestScope.query;
	var limit:int = 0;
	var dc:NotesDocumentCollection = db.getAllDocuments();
	if (dc.getCount() == 0) {
		requestScope.status += "\nNo documents";
		return;
	}
	// Get authors for each document - eliminate duplicates
	var doc:NotesDocument = dc.getFirstDocument();
	var authorsAll:java.util.Vector = new java.util.Vector();
	var authors:java.util.Vector = new java.util.Vector();
	while (doc != null) { // append authors to allAuthors
		authors = doc.getAuthors();
		var ai = authors.iterator();
		while (ai.hasNext()) { // remove duplicates
			if (authorsAll.contains(ai.next())) {
				ai.remove();
			}
		}
		authorsAll.addAll(authors);
		authors.clear();
		if (++limit > 1024) break; // for big database, just do first 1000
		var tmpdoc = dc.getNextDocument();
		doc.recycle(); // recycle to avoid memory problems
		doc = tmpdoc;
	}
	// Display each element of the compiled list
	ai = authorsAll.iterator();
	while (ai.hasNext()) {
		requestScope.status += "\n" + ai.next().toString();
	}
