This tutorial shows you how to use the new Web services design element in IBM Lotus Domino 7 for rapid creation of Web services in the LotusScript and Java programming languages. The tutorial walks you through examples of a business scenario involving a fictitious software company. The examples use a Web service that allows multiple clients to search a Domino Directory database. Using IBM Lotus Domino Designer, you learn how to develop a native Domino Web service and test the newly created service from a LotusScript agent and a Java application.

Prerequisites

This tutorial is designed for Web developers who want to leverage the Lotus Domino platform to build Web services. This tutorial assumes that you have access to and understand how to navigate IBM Lotus Domino Designer 6 or Domino Designer 7. You also need a working knowledge of the LotusScript or Java scripting languages. You do not need a background in Web services or an understanding of technologies such as the eXtensible Markup Language (XML), the Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP), or the Web Services Description Language (WSDL), although a brief introduction to them is provided.


System requirements

While not a prerequisite, this tutorial is easier to follow if you have downloaded, installed, and configured both Domino Designer 7 and the Java 1.4.x Software Development Kit (SDK). IBM Lotus Domino Server 7 is not required for completing this tutorial if you choose to preview your Web services locally using the built-in HTTP server provided with Domino Designer. However, to share your new Lotus Domino 7 Web services with other users and applications, you need a computer running Lotus Domino Server 7.
