WD ABAP UI design with workflow

Question

Hi All,
We have a requirement of designing a UI with some text boxes, labels and a submit/cancels buttons.
User 1 enter the details, clik on submit. Workflow should trigger and send the same info has to flow to user 2 for approval. Once appoved/rejected by User 2, a notification should be sent back to user 1 about the actions.
Workflow will be designed accordingly in backend, once this done how the workflow should be called to WD ABAP component view in order to trigger the event ?
We are using ESS/MSS Portal for this requirement. Please share your experiences. 
Thanks for your inputs in advance.
Regards,
Anil kumar

You can try the following:
* Started from work item?
DATA: t_requester TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF swotobjid,
      l_workitem  TYPE swwwihead-wi_id.
FIELD-SYMBOLS: <requester> LIKE LINE OF t_requester.
CALL FUNCTION 'SWO_QUERY_REQUESTER'
     TABLES
          requester = t_requester
     EXCEPTIONS
          not_found = 1
          OTHERS    = 99.
IF syst-subrc = 0.
  LOOP AT t_requester
       ASSIGNING <requester>
       WHERE objtype = 'WORKITEM'.
    l_workitem = <requester>-objkey.
  ENDLOOP.
ENDIF.

See the trigger an ABAP webdynpro from a  R/3 workflow? in which your question seems to have been much better answered by Alan Rickayzen and others.
