Calling informatica workflow from java/jsp/servlets

I need to trigger an informatica workflow on the click of a button in my web ap开发者_Python百科plication. Is this possible? if Yes how? if no then is there any alternative way of doing it(Like calling a shell script)?

Informatica has a shell command called pmcmd which you could use to start and stop workflows. If you have the product documentation then look into the document "Command Line Interface". You could call that command from a shell from within your java program.
