Hello All,

Thanks

Not sure what you are trying to do. Notes/Domino by itself does not really have a Workflow component, however, Lotus does have Domino Workflow as an additional product, and there are several third party products available that package a workflow engine in different ways.Workflo systems (my company) offers one of these packages as Workflo!Approval. It is a very straight forward application that you can add to any form that you design in N/D. Our application works in a Notes Client, Web Client and Blackberry Web client. If you are interested you can download a demo from our site at:

If you have further question either post them here or contact me directly.

Lotus Notes - or the Domino server, to be exact - does not have any Web Services per se. Each Notes application/database (that is an .nsf file from the file system point of view) can be programmed to offer Web Services.
Also, there’s no such thing as a general workflow item for each user in a Domino Directory. User’s have there To Do list, which is stored in their mail database, but this is not really a fully featured workflow engine. There is also an IBM product called Lotus Workflow, which is based on Domino. But I’m not familiar with the current release and what kind of interfaces it might or might not support. Finally, developers might have implemented their own workflow systems (which is pretty easy with Notes and Domino), but if so, there’s no common interface - be it a Web Service or whatever - at all.
