I require to create two functionality.

  1. Create a button in toolbar (universal toolbar).

  2. Connect to a web service on click of the button.

All this on windows platform.

Which of the following can be used to do this

a) agent using lotus script

b) add-in using eclipse

c) add-in using C++ apis (MFC DLL)

Subject: toolbar buttons in 8.0 use formulas

so you would need to launch your web service in macro code. This could be done, for instance, by “composing” a form whose LotusScript Queryopen code calls a web service provider script library. There’s unfortunately no way to call an agent directly from a toolbar button, unless the agent is in the current database.
