Web services question

HCL Domino Domino Forum

We need to connect two systems A and B

A - the system A is a none Lotus Domino based system will create a record or records with the 20-25 fields and UID - unique ID.

B - the system B is a Lotus Domino based system will need to get new records including the UID and the rest of the fields for all records

a question:

Assuming the system A can provide the web services to expose the new records to the system B, can the program be written to consume that web service.

This program (web service client) will

a) send a request for new record(s)

b) receive a transmission (XML) with new record(s) if any

c) communicate if possible to the Web service that transmission has been successfully accepted (I am not sure that this can be done)

Thanks for answers.

I’m not sure I understand fully what you are asking, but Lotus Domino does support XML through native scripting and JAVA. It is then conceivable that a Domino based web form can request and parse XML from other applications through user actions. For automation, scheduled agents can be written to perform the same type of actions. Or, you can connect Domino directly to foreign databases through ODBC, or by using Lotus Enterprise Integration services which wouldn’t require a layer of XML.

Hope this helps.

Yes, i think, i will use scheduled agent. A question how to write it :slight_smile:

can i use a schema like:

Set xml = CreateObject(“Microsoft.XMLHTTP”)

Call xml.open(“GET”, “http://www.cbr.ru/scripts/XML_daily.asp”,False)

Call xml.send()

st$ = xml.responseText

and then to parse st$? Thank you again.

That is a possiblity, but it may be a challenge to parse the string using this method. Unfortunately, I am not that experienced in doing this, but I think you can try your method in combination with the NotesXMLProcessor Class to achieve your desired results.

Good Luck, sorry I coudn’t be more helpful.
