Yes. You can use java LAPI with any java architecture including J2EE (JSP's and Servlets). We actually have many web applications that interact with Livelink through LAPI.I wouldn't reccomend putting the LAPI code directly into your JSP, though. Depending on the size of youy applicaiton, you might want to seperate your code by considering one of the more formal design patterns such as Model-View-Controller where most of your LAPI code would go into the Model portion. Let me know if you have any other questions. I know that LAPI can be confusing at time and that the Documentation isn't always accurate.Greg

If I only know the user name, how do I make connection via LLSession? And how can I get cookie info using java API in J2EE web application. Thanks!Sharon
