Kudos to Google team for getting this innovative collaboration
platform. After getting my hands dirty on it with some web related
stuff, i moved to the Enterprise part of it !

I am trying to integrate Google wave into our enterprise BPMS
platform, which is completely browser based. Following are the
attempts and results!

1. Enterprise applications (say, Business Process modeler) in Google
wave UI

Out product suite has several modelers and I chose the BPM modeler to
collaborate. I used a gadget for this. The gadget has an IFrame, that
loads the BPM modeler. Changes in the modeler have to be now
communicated to wave object in the Google Wave UI, but i am restricted
with the cross-domain access restriction here. And ours is a bigger
framework and it is not possible to get the complete code moved to the
gadget [I suppose SAP gravity does that way?]. I could not find any
similar usage in this group. Can anybody suggest some other way ?

2. Google wave in Enterprise application context

I moved on to the next approach of embedding the wave in the BPM
modeler. I succeeded in doing this, but again blocked by the limited
API set wave offers.

a. To get the waveID in mycompany.com domain, there is no Debug option
in the wave UI and i got the wave ID from the URL of the wave. Still
it does not load in Embed mode. Is this enabled for custom domain? Any
SSO assertions needed ?
b. I chose to go with wavesandbox domain. Still users have to go to
wave ui to create a wave, add participants, get the wave ID and
provide it to the application. This is not a seamless integration.
Though i store the wave ID relation in every BPM created, for the
first time user has to do this shifting to Google wave UI for wave
creation. And adding participants is a minimum requirement in
collaboration. This solution hence cannot be rolled out.
c. addReply API always embeds a empty reply. If it accepts content as
parameter, then i could overcome the cross-domain issue and with my
Robot, i can start some activity in my application [server side] with
this reply content.

@Google team: Any updates on will and when i can get these. For now,
any work-around would do for me.

3. I am looking into waveserver as the last option. Hoping that it
would help in overcoming these limitations. Will update on this
shortly.

I would really be happy if anybody can suggest alternative solutions
for this !!
