lotus notes : get value from ViewEntry by ColumnName

Question

I am trying to retrieve data from lotus notes View using the Notes java api, My problem is that I don't find a way to retrieve a specific value from a ViewEntry by a specific column name, I can get a Vector contain all the values, but I don't know which column belong each value. NB, when I'm trying to get the document from the ViewEntry and then use the method "getItemValue(Object)", it does not give me all the values, So I want to use directly the ViewEntry.

this work fine:

ViewEntryCollection viewEntryCollection = view.getAllEntries();
ViewEntry viewEntry = viewEntryCollection.getFirstEntry();

viewEntry.getColumnValues().forEach(item->{
    System.out.println(item);
} );

but this give me null Pointer Exception :

viewEntry.getDocument().getColumnValues().forEach(item->{
                System.out.println(item);
            } );

I'm looking for something like that :

viewEntry.getColumnValue(Object columName);

You can use the View.getColumnNames() method to get a vector containing the names of the columns. That will let you figure out the column number that you need to use as the index into the vector returned by ViewEntry.getColumnValues()
