Spanky's Place :: Help Needed: Web service is unable to create LotusScript object.

I feel like I'm missing something really simple, but I can't seem to figure this out.

Web service is unable to create LotusScript object.

LotusScript Class defined in Script Library cannot be created by a web service when running on a server.

Updated: Solution here!

Given the following LotusScript Class:

	Class SimpleEcho
	
     Sub New ()
	
          Messagebox |Creating new instance of SimpleEcho |
	
     End Sub
	
     Function Echo (source As String) As String
	
          Dim result As String
	
          result = |Echo: | & source
	
          Messagebox |SimpleEchoClass | & result 
	
          Echo = result
	
     End Function ' Echo
	
End Class 'SimpleEcho

If the Class is included directly in a web service, it works as expected on both a local client and a server.

If the Class is included by including a LotusScript library (Use "SimpleEchoClass"), it works when testing on a local client, but breaks when testing on a server.

Additional Info

Notes Client version 7.0.3, Notes Server 7.0.1 on Windows 2000.
I've placed a sample nsf here: SimpleEcho.zip. (File is also available on my downloads page).

Any help on figuring this out would be greatly appreciated.

1 - Unfortunately, I don't think you can define the Port Type class for a web service in a script library until Domino 8. Check the Notes 8 release notes for a document entitled: "Moving Web service classes to a Java script library". It mentions special considerations for Java, but I think it applies to LotusScript (at least in general) as well.

I'll see if I can do some testing to confirm.
