Question 1: How do you open the Lotus database containing the complete text of the book?
Solution 1: When you load the CD in the reader, the install program should start automatically. If it does not, navigate to the CDROM root directory and double click on the Start.exe program. This should bring up a dialog box.
On the left half of the dialog box at the top, click on the button that says "Install Book Examples". This will copy the CDROM to your disk. You can choose the directory you want. The text of the book is in the "Database" directory, which is on the same level as the "Chapter" directories.
In order to read the text of the book in Notes, use the "File-Database-Open" menu command and navigate with the browse button to the database directory. Open up the R5Web.nsf file.
To see the source code for the Java agent, you must open the database in the Domino Designer, not the Notes client. Start the Designer client and open up the database. Once the database is open in the Domino Designer, click on "Resources" then on Script Libraries on the left. You will see the AgentParameters library.
You might also want to consider purchasing the book "Special Edition Using Lotus Notes and Domino R5", also by Randall Tamura. This book gives you a more basic introduction to Lotus Notes and Domino usage and programming.
