Lotus Domino Toolkit 1.0 for IBM WebSphere Studio
The Lotus Domino Toolkit 1.0 is designed to assist developers in using Lotus Domino 6 custom JSP tags. Using the toolkit, major parts of an existing Lotus Domino application, for example, forms, views and agents, are exposed in the IBM WebSphere Studio development tool, and can be reused as a starting point for a new Java Server Page running on WebSphere.

The toolkit helps Lotus developers quickly understand and implement the new Lotus Domino custom JSP tags that are included with Lotus Domino 6 by leveraging their existing development skills. For J2EE developers, the toolkit allows access to the Lotus Notes Domino data store, and application features within the context of the J2EE technology.
