Start workflow from JSP page using CSSDK?

How could I start a workflow from a jsp page using cssdk?
The wft file for the corresponding workflow is already residing in the appropriate place in Teamsite server and I am trying to access it through CSSDK client in my machine.
All i know of is the workarea where I am, the complete VPath of the file to attach to workflow and that the task is submit.
I don't know the Workflowid, taskid etc...
The jobspecification file is not saved any where and I don't have the permission to edit the wft file to make it save the jobspecification.
What i am trying to convey is I don't know how else to start a Workflow other than createWorkflow
CSWorkflowEngine cswfeng=client.getWorkflowEngine() ;
CSWorkflow cswf=cswfeng.createWorkflow(jobspec);
I saw the thread by the subject "Get the Job Spec file for a running workflow?". But didn't help.
Can any one save me?Please
Thanks in advance

I don't believe the CSSDK supports creating workflows via WFTs - I think it only works with job description files.
Instead, you'd have to invoke a CLT like iwwft_compile.ipl

There is a webcast on how to use Content Services to invoke a workflow. And this Workflow Specification file is, like ghoti said, just a plain xml file (residing where ever you want).

Thanks a lot Ghoti and Pommes
I saw the web cast and as you said it is a simple jobspecification file.
Thanks
