I’ve got a web agent that runs in lotusscript but it needs to call a java method via LS2J. The purpose is to print out some content and I need access to the printwriter for that. The docmentation points me to using getAgentOutput() however this throws a null pointer exception. The class is structured as follows:

import java.io.PrintWriter;
import lotus.domino.*;

public class WebPrinter extends AgentBase {
    public boolean printFile(String fileName) {
        try {
            PrintWriter pw = getAgentOutput();  <--- error here
            ...
            
        } catch(Exception e) {
            ...
        }
    }

The lotusscript that calls it is as follows:

Use "JavaWebCode"
Dim jSession As New JavaSession
Dim jClass As JavaClass
Dim jObject As JavaObject

Set jClass = jSession.Getclass("com.test.WebPrinter")
Set jObject = jClass.Createobject()

result = jObject.printFile(fileName)
...

The error is:

java.lang.NullPointerException at
lotus.domino.AgentBase.getAgentOutput (unknown source)

How to I get access to the PrintWriter outside a Java agent? I don’t really want to refactor the lotusscript agent to Java if I can.

Thanks all.
