calling WebService or Java program from workflow
Hello,
I want to call an (external) WebService from a workflow.
I could use some pointers here. What is the best way to do this?
The way to go about is probably to use an external task calling an ipl script. This script then calls the WebService directly or a Java progam ?
How do I call any of these from Perl?
I don't think I will be needing OpenAPI for this since I don't need TeamSite functionalities. Or do I?
Any help would be appriciated,
Hans.

Hans,
You can write/code an ipl (perl) file that calls the java program.
I too doubt that you will need OpenAPI. But then again it depends on what you are trying to do. I am not sure what the term "webservice" refers to.
From what I know, as long as you can do a callback, you can write your external task program in any language you want. I have only written external tasks in perl.
You can usually call an external program from your perl script by using the "system" function. An example would be:
system("ls -l");0
