Invoking a workflow from within some external existing webbased application

Hello

I just want to know of any certain way of handling the situation.
How one can invoke / initiate a workflow from a html LINK placed in existing application’s site (developed in JSP).

Furthermore I would like to pass on some values (user authentication number etc), so that workflow client for a certain type of role is opened (depending on the external application user id, and its access control parameters).

any pointers in this regard would be much appreciated.
thanx

Hi Krishna,
You can release the locks by changing the permissions to the flow.xml file.The particular webMethods user might be having the read priviliges only to that file.You can give -rwx- permissions to the flow.xml file by traversing to the ns folder in your package.

Thanks,
