Stubby – a quicker way to get AXIS to work in Lotus Domino

A new application was added to nsf-tools some days ago. It’s called Stubby and is a framework to easy create AXIS stubs for use in Lotus Domino. This is directly related with the topic I was covering in my last DeveloperWorks article “Consuming Web services from a Lotus Domino Java agent” (blogpost here). I was describing a completely manual way to generate the JAVA-stub files but Stubby is, according to the description, doing this automatically. Also, instead of adding the latest, external, AXIS files to the Lotus Domino environment Stubby is using built in AXIS java classes. I admitt that I had no clue that the AXIS framework was bundled completely with the Lotus Domino installation.

I haven’t had time to test this tool yet but will certainly give it a try during the upcoming week.

    Yes the Axis framework is bundled in Domino (R7), you can find it /jvm/lib/ext/websvc.jar along with some other nice packages) but the structure is different from the original Axis package (lotus.domino.axis instead of org.apache.axis).

    That’s very interesting – maybe I should update my AXIS article on DeveloperWorks with a non-third-party dependency.

    Thanks for the info. Am using the websvc.jar-package now.

    Great Blog by the way! :)
