Legacy Support - Web Service Providers (Filters)

[JoelProminic]

While exporting an old database, I found some "Filter" design elements.

Claude reported that these are legacy agents (pre-Notes-8), and I confirmed they are obsolete in this database. Domino 11 gives me warnings that they are obsolete.

So, I don't want to spend more time on these for now

Writeup from Claude:

1. Web Service Providers exported as <note class="filter">

Files: other/Copy_Of_GBAuthAppletConfig_Filter.dxl,
other/GBAuthAppletConfig_Filter.dxl

What they actually are: Domino Designer shows these under Web Service
Providers. They are Java-based WS Providers — the design note carries an
<item name="$FILE"> whose <object><file> is %%source%%.jar containing the
compiled Java class.

Why they show up the way they do:

• WS Provider notes use NOTE_CLASS_FILTER (the same note class as agents),
  distinguished by $Flags. DxlExporter emits them as
  <note class="filter"> rather than as <agent> with a <javaproject> child.
• DesignExporter.exportCode() selects via setSelectAgents(true), which
  does not match the legacy <note class="filter"> form, so they're missed
  there.
• They're picked up later by setSelectMiscCodeElements(true) in
  exportOther(), which is why they land in other/ instead of code/.
• DxlProcessor.isJavaElement() only flags <javaresource> tags and
  <javaproject> descendants. The <note class="filter"> + $FILE shape
  matches neither, so the skipJava filter does not exclude them — even
  though they contain compiled Java that won't round-trip through
  DxlImporter.
• Filename suffix is _Filter because getTypeSuffix() falls back to
  capitalise(type) for any type not in TYPE_SUFFIXES, and the resolved
  type is "filter" (from <note class="filter">).

Suggested fix (deferred — obsolete in this DB):

• Route <note class="filter"> to code/ alongside real agents (treat it as
  an alias for agent in setSelectAgents results, or special-case it in
  resolveType).
• Extend isJavaElement() to recognise filter-class notes whose $FILE item
  carries %%source%%.jar (or design flags indicating a Java WS Provider) so
  they get [SKIP Java] treatment under skipJava.
• Pick a clearer type suffix: e.g. _WebServiceProvider when the
  filter-class note's $Flags indicate WS Provider, otherwise _Agent.
