As far as data integration goes, you can implement your own custom data retriever and submitter classes and use them to transfer data in and out of the SmartForms application, e.g. via a database. For example, your main web application can pre-create initial application record in a database and pass its key to the SmartForms app as a submissionId parameter in the URL. Your data retriever then could load that data into SmartForms, collect more parameters and then the data submitter will save it back to the database. Then the SmartForms can redirect user back to your application or some other external URL.
You can take a look at the %ADVISOR_HOME%\examples\SmartForms\deployments\dataaccess\handlers to see an example of data retriever and sumbitter implementation.
