IBM Lotus Domino

IBM announced a suite of product enhancements, tools and resources for the IBM Lotus Domino environment.  IBM Lotus Domino Designer 7 allows Domino to integrate with other systems using industry-standards based Web services.  It includes a new Web service design element that allows Domino developers the option to code the Web service using their familiar LotusScript interface or Java.  Business logic coded in LotusScript could be called from any system that supports Web services.  Lotus Domino Designer 7 also has built in support for Web Services Description Language (WSDL), and includes the ability to use IBM DB2 as an alternative data store for Domino applications.
