This Java code will return an HTML version of a Lotus Notes rich-text field to the calling routine. Exceptions are handled via an excellent logging tool from Openntf.org.

This Java code relies on being able to create a Lotus Notes document in the current Domino database using a form called MimeConvert.

The rich-text source field is appended to the RichTextField class on the MimeConvert form. Next, the Lotus Notes document is saved and then read as an InputStream; which gives an HTML representation of the entire page. Finally, the body is split away from the rest of the HTML page, leaving the HTML representation of the original RichTextField.

ne worked only in Java (LS2J) and only on the Lotus Domino server.

To obtain the same results faster -- in LotusScript and/or Java and on the local database and/or Lotus Domino server -- set the storage content on the rich-text field of the second tab under "field properties" to "HTML and MIME."
