Associating additonal/custom Metadata with Domino objects
I was wondering if there is any way to associate some additional metadata with every Domino Object. This could be things like retention date etc. This is to enable the users to finllay use the Domino search facility and look up these objects by searching using this metadata.
I found one of the links http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/lotus/library/dwa-data/. But this is talking in the context of Domino Web Access and Forms. I 'm interested to know if this can be done using the Java api's which are a part of Domino Java/Corba toolkit.

I'm sorry but I really have to object. Why didn't you answer my question or comment to my post??
As far as I can see, guessing from the info we got, the likely answers are already in my first comment:
- YES, it is possible, the metadata can be stored as fields in the document (e.g. by using a special prefix); searching for these special fields isn't difficult whatsoever
- NO, it is not possible, if the question how to extend a Document object in Java
If I guessed wrong, I'd like to get more information about what the problem is.
If the user really intends to get rid of this questions, which wouldn't be gratifying at all, I'd hesitate between accepting one of my answers, #2, or Accept/No Refund if that would be acceptable.
