      <br>
          Programming with Kepler is definitely harder than using
      Kepler. <br>
      <br>
          My answer is still the same. The information I provided in my
      first reply is the JAVA program implementation to interact with
      Kepler pragmatically. For instance, the executeByURIWithPara()
      function in KeplerWebServiceImpl.java tells how to execute a
      workflow based on its URI and parameter values. They are
      definitely good start for your task. I hope you can know how to
      implement your task by studying these functions.<br>
