Using Applets in Lotus Notes R5

843807Sep 18 2002 — edited Sep 20 2002
I was wondering whether anyone has successfully used Java applets in Notes Client applications (not web applications).

Specifically, what JDK version can I assume to work. I would think JDK 1.1.6 from the documentation of the R5 Domino Server, but I couldn't find an explicit statement about which JRE version the R5 Client supports.

What I am trying to do is:

(a) Use Java to implement things with NotesUI-Objects one would traditionally do using LotusScript, like putting "Hello World" into a field on a freshly opened Lotus Notes Form. People seem to be more willing to learn Java than LotusScript these days. :-)

(b) Use custom Java Applets to display eg a barchart depending on data inside Notes and external data sources, instead of using eg Excel through OLE/ActiveX as I and others traditionally did and still are doing.

Anyone can help here?

If you install Virtualbox on your MacBook, you can use this appliance to get an Oracle database:

Mac was supported years ago with 10g. Think that even RAC support was planned. (https://docs.oracle.com/cd/B19306_01/install.102/b25286.pdf)
As I heard things went south between Oracle and Apple, and the support for Mac was discontinued.

There are no Mac version for Oracle Databases, but as cormaco mentioned you can easily use VirtualBox to have a VM with Linux (you can use Oracle Linux) and install Oracle 18c XE on it.
Or you can use the VM he already pointed, it has Oracle 19c pre installed, and you can add 18c XE if you need (if you just want to test or do some Proof of Concept, then using the 19c should be OK, if you want to use it for commercial / production then you need either a license or to use the free XE edition).
