In yesterdays post about how to automatically populate a group document, I published code to do the job in the foreground only. One of my blog readers complained about this. Maybe I was to naive to think that even an unexperienced java developer like me could modify the given code to run on a scheduled basis on the server.

Well, here is the code for an scheduled agent.

import lotus.domino.*;
import javax.naming.*;
import javax.naming.directory.*;
import java.util.Hashtable;
import java.util.Vector; 

public class LDAPSearchWithFilter extends AgentBase { 

	private static String fldMembers = "Members";

    	public void NotesMain() { 

    	try {
        	Database _db;
        	Document _doc;
        	Session session = getSession();
        	AgentContext agentContext = session.getAgentContext();
        	_db = agentContext.getCurrentDatabase(); 

        	Agent ag1 = agentContext.getCurrentAgent(); 

        	String ldapCF = "com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapCtxFactory";
        	String ldapURL = "ldap://localhost:389/";
        	String ldapBaseDN = "";
        	String ldapUserID = "";
        	String ldapPassword = ""; 

        	Hashtable env = new Hashtable(4);
        	env.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, ldapCF);
        	env.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, ldapURL + ldapBaseDN);
        	env.put(Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL, ldapUserID);
        	env.put(Context.SECURITY_CREDENTIALS, ldapPassword); 

      	DocumentCollection _dc = _db.getAllDocuments();
      	Document doc = _dc.getFirstDocument();

      	while (doc != null) {
        	String searchCriteria = doc.getItemValueString("SelectionCriteria");
        	DirContext ctx = new InitialDirContext(env);
        	SearchControls ctls = new SearchControls();
		NamingEnumeration answer = ctx.search("", searchCriteria, ctls);
		PopulateGroup (answer, doc);
     		ctx.close();
        	doc = _dc.getNextDocument();
		} // end of while
	  } // end of try
		catch (Exception e) {
    		e.printStackTrace(); }
	} // end of Main 

	public static void PopulateGroup(NamingEnumeration col, Document doc) { 

    	try {
    	Item item = doc.getFirstItem(fldMembers);
    	Vector v = new Vector();
    	String result;
	if (col.hasMore()) {
        	while (col.hasMore()) {
            	  SearchResult sr = (SearchResult)col.next();
            	  result = (String)sr.getName();
                  v.addElement(result.replace(',','/'));
           	} // end of while
		  doc.replaceItemValue(fldMembers, v);
    		  doc.save(true);
		} // end of if
    	} // end of try
	catch (NamingException e) {
    		e.printStackTrace(); }
	catch (Exception e) {
    		e.printStackTrace(); }
	} // end of PopulateGroup
} // end of class
