Crash Lotus Notes - Oops I did it again

In an attempt to write a fairly complex workflow application, which I originally thought was a so simple I did this. I was dumb enough to have given way for the "out of touch since last two years" concept to ridicule me like this.

I knew that theoretically, I can write custom lotus script classes which can extend native lotus script classes and I can possibly extend/create events like querySave, queryClose etc using some thing like the following

On Event Querysave From customUidoc Call customQuerysave

So I went a head and tried it to discover that I crashed my client. I am great full that I dont posses the talent to corrupt database designs at will. Honestly.

Sometimes the thought scares the hell out of me. I just tried to do the above mentioned stuff. Just tried. And following happened. Note- I am not sure if this would happen always or not, but I think its worth mentioning this. I already had a custom class on the script library where I was trying to build my new custom class and extend NotesUIDocument.

I am on the way persuading about what really guided me to collapse my Lotus Client.  Hope I would find a solution to the same :@  !!!!

Crash Lotus Notes - Oops I did it again

It has been quite a while since work was such fun. :) I had missed to log a lot of ways by which I ended up crashing lotus notes last year as they seemed obvious and straight forward. This time I think I discovered a new way to do it :P

It is by make a view feel miserable when a document is opened from it. Yep its the queryOpenDocument event of the view.

I just put the following code into it

Sub Queryopendocument(Source As Notesuiview, Continue As Variant)

Dim workspace As New NotesUIWorkspace

Dim session As New NotesSession

Dim currDB As NotesDatabase

Dim selectedDoc As NotesDocument

Dim caret As String

caret=source.CaretNoteID

Set currDB=session.CurrentDatabase

Set selectedDoc=currDB.GetDocumentByID(caret)

Call workspace.SetTargetFrame("*********")  '- dont get any ideas. Just put a valid frame name 

Call workspace.EditDocument(False,selectedDoc)

continue=False

End Sub

This happens even if I comment "continue=False" 

I really dont know about how to fix it rolf :)

Crash a Domino Server - an other SSJS did it

In addtion to what I have found previously - http://ozinisle.blogspot.com/2011/03/crash-domino-server-oops-ssjs-did-it.html, I happened to stumble upon an other code fragment that did it. I mean crashing my domino server.

This time its a more serious one to be aware of. Because the following line of code works perfectly until it breaks. So be care full.

viewHandle.getColumnValues(colNumber)

where, viewHandle is a NotesView object.

Hope this helps :)

Crash a Domino Server - oops SSJS did it

In an attempt to simulate @DbColumn using SSJS, i used a few lines of code which included the following,

doc.getColumnValues();


To my astonishment, I found that my domino server had crashed. Yes the server it self had crashed every time it read this code fragment.

I have coded a few lines in the past that crashed Lotus notes client/designer, but never had the opportunity to crash a server. And now it took me XPages to do it :)

Looking for a work around :(
