Lotus Domino Integration with EGL

This is for IBM i customers. We have recently had requests from several customers to provide some form of integration between EGL generated applications and Lotus Domino database applications. It may be acceptable to treat the application as a datasource.

It is likely no programming is required and that exploration between a Lotus and EGL expert is all that is required to provide a strong statement of product integration.

    This enhancement is unlikely to be implemented in the near to mid-term. It might be revisited in the future if there is significant customer interest.

    Could you please give us some more details on your use case?
    Would it be needed:
    - only for Java generation or also for COBOL
    - for all kind of EGL project (Web or basic or ...).

    I am correct to say that you also want to mix information coming from Lotus Domino with information coming from another source like a Db2 database with EGL?

    Do you maybe have a concrete example you can share with us to illustrate your request?

    Thanks in advance,
