No QUERY_STRING in Session.DocumentContext (LotusScript)

[pawel.s...@gmail.com]

Hi there,

I'm trying to adapt the agent show at
http://mdm-adph.blogspot.com/2006/08/using-ajax-as-web-edit-protection_14.html
to my needs.
Anyways, when I try to use QUERY_STRING it results in "error: Object
variable not set" on the server console. When editing it in the
Designer 7, code assist doesn't even show Query_String as an
alternative...

Any ideas what could cause the problem?

Kind regards,
PS

Could you post some more code, and describe how you call the agent?

Just a few days ago, I posted a blog entry at (you can get to it through
http://www.planetlotus.org/1b0fd1) about parsing URLs in Lotusscript. I
even have a class there that will help you parse the URL parameters very
easily.

Actually, I have discovered that it's not an issue associated with the
QUERY_STRING CGI variable, but rather the object itself -
DocumentContext.
The code is available on the blog entry I have provided link to above.
I call this agent using an AJAX call. Actually, even when providing
the link directly to the browser, it still gives the same result -
"error: Object variable not set".
When I rewrote the agent (for now only part of it) in Java, I can
easily access the QUERY_STRING variable... but I still don't know
what's wrong with the code provided on that blog entry.

Thanks a lot! This will be useful for sure in the future. I have
already bookmarked this blog entry in my browser.
BTW, poor car... :)

I notice something in your code... You don't define queryString, UNID
and remoteUser as strings, but as variants. Not best practice. But
should not cause your problem.

I copied the beginning of your code into an agent in a database on one
of my servers:

Sub Initialize
'**********************************************
' Checks to see if a document is currently being edited
' by checking the status of a lock stub belonging to a certain UNID
'
' Original idea from Scott Good of Lotus Advisor Magazine
'**********************************************

'Create variables
Dim Session As New NotesSession
Dim Doc As NotesDocument
Dim queryString, UNID, remoteUser
Dim allowEdit As Integer
Dim timeInterval As Integer

'Assign values to variables
Set Doc = Session.DocumentContext
allowEdit = True

'Set "timeInterval" to how long, in seconds,
'you want to lock a document
timeInterval = 90

'Grab UNID and remoteUser from the URL Query String
queryString = Doc.Query_String(0)
Print "queryString = " & queryString
End Sub

Worked fine, the URL
http://dstest/claimsystem/claimcaretimesheetentries.nsf/TestURL?OpenAgent&Foo=1&Bar=2
gave me the output queryString = OpenAgent&Foo=1&Bar=2

Try to insert print statements in your code to output HTML and display
the values of different variables.
