The scope of a script library is the current database. All scripts in a database can avail themselves of the LotusScript, JavaScript, or Java in a library in that database. However, the library is lost to scripts outside the database. For example, if a button in a document uses a script library and you mail the document to or paste it into another database that does not have the same script library, the script fails. If a script attempts to use a library not in the current database, the error message, "Error loading USE or USELSX module" displays.

Release 8 builds upon the existing concept of script libraries, to make Domino web services available to applications through web service enabled script libraries. Each web service enabled LotusScript or Java script library contains generated code, to be used by your code, capable of calling a single web service. Once a web service enabled script library is created, it can be used in many different contexts, such as agents and event handling code, within Domino applications.

Note The use of web service enabled script libraries is new with Release 8.

To create a script library

1. Choose Create - Design - Script Library

2. Choose one of the following:

• LotusScript Library
• Javascript Library
• Java Library
The Programmer's pane displays the empty script in the Work pane.

Each library in a database must have a unique name. This is true for multilingual databases as well; you cannot differentiate between multiple script libraries of the same name using the $Language field of the design note.

For LotusScript, first select an existing script; it can be an (Options), (Declarations), Initialize, Terminate, or user script and either:
• Enter new or change existing code for the script.
• To write your own LotusScript script, replace the title of the script following the Sub or Function statements. For example, to write a script called Once, change Sub Initialize to Sub Once.

The editor automatically creates a new script using this new title.

See the following topics for instructions on incorporating a library:

• Incorporating a LotusScript script library
• Incorporating a Java script library
• Incorporating a JavaScript script library
• Creating a web services enabled script library

1. From the Design pane, expand Shared Code and select Script Libraries.

A list of script libraries displays in the Design list.

The script library appears in the Programmer's pane.
