Consuming Web Services in a Notes 7 environment using Designer 8

Our environment is R7 (moving to R8.5 sometime this year) but I am running the 8.0.2 designer client.

I am writing an application that will need to consume web services. It will be hosted on R7 servers and accessed with R7 clients.

My question is what is the easiest way to write such a service?

  1. I read the article “Consuming Web Services from a Domino Java Agent” (IBM Developer) and it looks like this is the route I have to go, although I don’t understand (yet) about running Apache Axis.

  2. I tried using “Stuby” but it does not seem to work when run on an R8 Designer.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Subject: Do it manually

I would recommend doing the steps by hand as detailed in that link you have. Stubby automates that process.

Doing the manual steps should work ok. Although I haven’t tried doing them on ND8 as that client/server supports consuming web services already.

I don’t see how they would interfere though.
