REUSE EXISTING APPLICATIONS

� Production applications can be extended to interact with new

systems

� These extended interfaces can be used again and again in

different client applications

� No need to recreate

USE BEST OF BREED APPLICATIONS

� The best tool for what you need to get done

� Excel for word processing?

� Applications are getting more complex

� End users expect more

SECURITY OPTIONS WEB SERVICES

USING NETWORK CREDENTIALS

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click

Dim Cred As New NetworkCredential(TextBox2.Text, TextBox3.Text) ' Set User Name/Password credentials

'Dim Cred As New NetworkCredential("Joe User", "wordpass") ' Set User Name/Password credentials

Try

'DominoWS.Proxy.

'DominoWS.UseDefaultCredentials

DominoWS.Credentials = Cred ' asign credential to web service

DominoWS.PreAuthenticate = True ' force credentials in first call

TextBox4.Text = DominoWS.HELLO_NAME(TextBox1.Text) ' call call web service

CREATING DOMINO SERVICES

Domino Web Services

XML over HTTP

CREATING A WEB SERVICE (R7+)

�Use Domino Designer

�Create "Web Service"

� Like creating an Agent

�Set properties in properties box

�Create LotusScript or Java class

�Generate WSDL - automatically

�Run Server

�Write WS client

NEW DESIGN ELEMENT

CREATE NEW WEB SERVICE

ENTER LOTUSSCRIPT CLASS CODE

VIEW WSDL FILE

TIME TO TRY OUR WEB SERVICE

� Unlike VS.NET, Notes 7 has no way to test its Web services

� We must create a client application

� VS.NET only needs a network connection and the URL to the

WSDL file of the service

R7 WEB SERVICES WSDL URL

� URL syntax of WSDL file:

http://MyServer/MyDatabase.nsf/MyWebService?WSDL

••In our example the URL is:In our example the URL is:

http://www.msdomino.net/orders.nsf/hello_world?wsdlhttp://www.msdomino.net/orders.nsf/hello_world?wsdl

TRY THE URL WITH A WEB BROWSER

WITH WSDL, CREATE WS CLIENTS

A LOOK AT DOMINO WEB AGENT GENERATING

XML

� Web Agents execute with URL call

� Agent programs can do almost anything

� Creating a Web Agent that returns XML is easy

� Parameters are allowed

LOTUSSCRIPT WEB AGENT CODE

Print "Content-type: text/xml“ 'Prevents Domino from sending default headers

Print |<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>|

Print "<CustomerOrders>" 'Orders is the root XML element

While Not ( doc Is Nothing ) 'Loop while there are document objects available

Print "<Orders>“ 'Send the parent element for each Order document

Print "<OrderID>"+FixChars(Cstr(doc. OrderID(0)))+"</OrderID>"

Print "<CustomerID>"+FixChars(Cstr(doc. CustomerID(0)))+ "</Customer..……

Print "</Orders>“ 'Close the Order element tag

Set doc = view.GetNextDocument( doc ) 'Get the next document in the view

Wend

Print "</CustomerOrders>"

End Sub

LOTUSSCRIPT FIXCHARS FUNCTION CODE

Function FixChars(TextData As String) As String 'Replace XML chars For i=1 To Len(TextData)MyChar= Mid(TextData,i,1)Select Case MyCharCase "<"

F_XML= F_XML & "<"Case ">"

F_XML= F_XML & ">"Case |"|

F_XML= F_XML & """Case "'"

F_XML= F_XML & "'"Case "&"

F_XML= F_XML & "&"Case Else

F_XML= F_XML & MyCharEnd Select

NextFixChars=F_XML

DOMINO XML DATA VIA URL

NON-DOMINO SERVER – NOTES XML

WHY NOT USE DOMINO XML OBJECTS?

� No good reason other than backward compatibility

� it was easier – fewer lines of code

XML/HTTP PROVIDE DATA/TRANSPORT

� This is only one method

� Very flexible with long reach

� An HTTP/XML interface Agent can be used over and over in

many clients

ARCHITECTURE FOR THE FUTURE

� Why build on Domino platform if I’m moving to Hanover, DB2,

ASP.NET or something else in the future?

� By creating clients access with standards, the backend system can be

swapped with changing clients

� Reuse yesterday’s and today work

WHO WILL BUILD THESE NEW

APPLICATIONS?

� Lotus Notes Developers

� VB.NET 90% the same syntax as LotusScript

� VS.NET experience similar to Domino Designer’s

� No one knows your applications better

� Hybrid applications are quick and easy

� Add features to existing applications
