Dear Julian,

I was trying to integrate OpenLog into a small Java I was writing in Eclipse. I use the "Two-Headed beast" method because the DDE Editors just bug me, and the debugging is yummy in native Eclipse. I couldn't get OpenLog to work correctly because this line in useDefaultLogDb was failing - currentDatabase was null.

            logDb = session.getDatabase(currentDatabase.getServer(), logDbName);

There might be a better way to to this, but I created a new constructor for the OpenLogItem object

public OpenLogItem (Session s, Database callingdb, String agentName) {
        try {
            thisDatabase = callingdb.getFilePath();
            this.currentDatabase = callingdb;
            thisAgent = agentName;
            session = NotesFactory.createSession();
            thisServer = session.getServerName();
            if (thisServer == null)
                thisServer = "";
           
            userName = session.getUserName();
            clientVersion = new Vector();
            String cver = session.getNotesVersion();
            if (cver != null) {
                if (cver.indexOf("|") > 0) {
                    clientVersion.addElement(cver.substring(0, cver.indexOf("|")));
                    clientVersion.addElement(cver.substring(cver.indexOf("|") + 1));
                } else {
                    clientVersion.addElement(cver);
                }
            }
           
            startTime = session.createDateTime("Today");
            startTime.setNow();
           
            resetFields();
        } catch(Exception e) {
            debugPrint(e);
        }
    }

and modified the calling agent thus:

public void NotesMain() {
        Session s;
        Database db;
        AgentContext ac;
        OpenLogItem oli;

        // do we get Session from debug member var,
        // or from agent context?
        try {
            if (this.m_Session != null) {
                s = this.m_Session;
                ac = this.m_Ctx;
                oli = new OpenLogItem(s, ac.getCurrentDatabase(), "Clean up Roaming Training Users");
            } else {
                s = this.getSession();
                ac = s.getAgentContext();
                oli = new OpenLogItem(s);
            }
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();

            return;
        }

        // from this point on, agent code is common to
        // both debug and "real agent" environments
       
        try {

Hope you see this as a helpful "Open Source Contribution" - and it might also simply be that I have missed something really obvious, in which case I will bribe you with beer to get this feature request deleted.

All the best
Andrew
