  1. YMMV, but I've found CORBA to be (a) slow, and (b) unreliable. DIIOP seems to crash every now and again on my Windows 2000, 5.0.8 system. It's a nice idea but a poor implementation.

    The other way of ensuring that you run with a user's credentials is that you open a Domino session not with the server's ID, but with the user's. I have done this successfully, using Tomcat. (I would use Domino's servlet manager only if a customer forced me to.) I create not only a server session, but a session for each user who logs in. I use my own Java-driven, form-based authentication to do this, interfacing with Domino for the actual authentication only (no reliance on domcfg.nsf form-based authentication).

    I find Lotus' default mechanisms for making this kind of thing possible sub-optimal - a bit like Domino's HTML rendering. But with some thought and the right amount of skepticism about Lotus' received wisdom about how to do things, some quite nice things *are* possible!
