java - View.getView() returns null -

i'm trying find folder or view in database. named team documents folder has filter option by date, by category. returns me null folder exists.

string dbserver = "d23dbm95/23/a/ibm", dbfilename = "dbom\\farizan\\stsklb1.nsf";   public void runnotes() {     session session = null;     database db = null;     view view = null;     document doc = null;      try     {         notesthread.sinitthread();         session = notesfactory.createsession();         system.out.println("user = " + session.getusername());         db = session.getdatabase(dbserver, dbfilename);          if(db.isopen())         {             system.out.println("title "+db.gettitle());              view = db.getview("team documents \\ date");               if(view == null)             {                 system.out.println("still null");             }          }      }     catch(notesexception e)     {         e.printstacktrace();     } } 

i tried fill getview() method team documents. still returns null. approach problem?

while have been more helpful if had included link screenshot of domino designer client's folder list, best guess have 2 folders, not 1 folder "filter options". also, guess "team documents" not folder; it's prefix on folder names makes them appear nested in parent folder.

if that's case, need

iew = db.getview("team documents\\by category");  

or

iew = db.getview("team documents\\by date");  

note: no spaces before & after backslashes.

if assumptions above not correct, suggestion assign alias names folders in domino designer , use aliases instead of display names in code. frankly, that's always practice, because allows code continue working if decide change display names.
