We’re looking into developing an application that can read from and write to Lotus Domino, specifically adding, updating, removing appointments. We’ve done the same thing for Exchange and GroupWise.

We don’t have experience with developing for Lotus Domino yet, but we’ve been looking at documentation from IBM and other results from Google about their web services. It only seems that you can add web services yourself, written in Java or their own scripting language?

Do they not have a default set of web services, accessible from a WSDL that you can enable, like an ‘AddItem’ or ‘AddAppointment’, stuff like that? Services that Exchange / GroupWise offer by default? If they don’t, it may not be worth it to write the application for us.

Or is it really only possible to write your own web services.

Thanks in advance!

    There are no out-of-the-box SOAP web services. There is a REST-style interface, mainly for reading data from Notes – you would not be able to create calendar entries. However, it is not a large effort to create something like a web service to create an appointment. There is an introductory article on notes.net:
