Question

I’m adding my own Java code to the Notes replicator (like the Activities sync):

<plugin>
   <extension
     point="com.ibm.notes.client.notesSync">
     <unit
        class="com.ibm.notes.smartfile.RunOnReplication"
        id="com.ibm.notes.smartfile.RunOnReplication"
        image="icons/SmartFile.gif"
        label="IBM SmartFile action">
     </unit>
  </extension>
</plugin>

This adds an entry to the replicator page that executes every time a job runs. My class looks like this:

public class RunOnReplication extends Job {
    public RunOnReplication(String name) {
      super(name);
    }

    @Override
    public IStatus run(IProgressMonitor arg0) {
        NotesSessionJob nsj = new NotesSessionJob("SmartFile Replication") {
            @Override
            protected IStatus runInNotesThread(Session s,
                IProgressMonitor monitor) throws NotesException {
            Engine engine = Activator.getDefault().getEngine();
            return engine.scheduledProcessing(s, monitor);
            }
        };
    nsj.schedule();
    return Status.OK_STATUS;
   }
}

Now I wonder: how can I get the monitor in the nsj Job to report the status to the outer class, so the progress is reported to the replicator progress bar — or is there a different way to get to the NotesSession without creating a new job?

You don’t have to use the NotesSessionJob. Instead of that you can also use the “old” way of instantiating the N/D java classes.

public class RunOnReplication extends Job {
    public RunOnReplication(String name) {
      super(name);
    }

    @Override
    public IStatus run(IProgressMonitor arg0) {
        try {
            NotesThread.sinitThread();
            Session session = NotesFactory.createSessionWithFullAccess();
            //do your stuff here
        } catch (Exception e) {
            // do your error handling here
        } finally {
            NotesThread.stermThread();
        }
    return Status.OK_STATUS;
   }
}

Btw: cool idea…
