Examples: refresh method

This agent displays the entry count of an uncategorized view before and after creating a document that appears in the view. The count is the same because the view is not refreshed after creating the document.

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("All");
      System.out.println("Entries = " + view.getTopLevelEntryCount());
      Document doc = db.createDocument();
      doc.appendItemValue("Form", "Main Topic");
      doc.appendItemValue("Subject", "New document");
      doc.save();
      /* Entry count is the same because the view is not refreshed */
      System.out.println("Entries = " + view.getTopLevelEntryCount());
      
    } catch(Exception e) {
      e.printStackTrace();
    }
  }
}

This agent displays the entry count of an uncategorized view before and after creating a document that appears in the view. The count is incremented because the view is refreshed after creating the document.

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("All");
      System.out.println("Entries = " + view.getTopLevelEntryCount());
      Document doc = db.createDocument();
      doc.appendItemValue("Form", "Main Topic");
      doc.appendItemValue("Subject", "New document");
      doc.save();
      view.refresh();
      /* Entry count is incremented because the view is refreshed */
      System.out.println("Entries = " + view.getTopLevelEntryCount());
      
    } catch(Exception e) {
      e.printStackTrace();

}

This agent refreshes the view before retrieving a document from it if the view was modified.

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();
      // Open view and sleep for 10 seconds
      View view = db.getView("By Category");
      sleep(10000);
      // Meanwhile someone else may have modified the view
      view.refresh();
      // Do your work
      Document getdoc = view.getDocumentByKey("Latest news");
      if (getdoc == null)
        System.out.println("getdoc is null");
      else
        System.out.println(getdoc.getItemValueString("Subject"));
    } catch(Exception e) {
      e.printStackTrace();
    }
  }
