Im in the middle of doing this myself.

It's my understanding that Axis has a rudumentary HTTP server. But it's not industrial strength and does not provide security. The Apache server should be used to process the HTTP request/response cycle.

Axis does use sockets/ports to communicate to the HTTP sever.

Hi All:

Has anyone tried ever tried invoking a Web Service from the AS/400 using
RPG ILE?  My thought is that I could stick the Apache Axis jar into the
IFS, write a Java client to import the necessary Axis classes to invoke
a Web Service, then prototype the class in an ILE procedure and invoke
it to get the response back to the RPG program.  The reason I need to do
this is because I need our RPG based OMS system to initiate the request.


My question is will sticking the Apache Axis jar on the AS/400 be
enough?  We have no application server running on our 400.  Is an http
server required for a client to invoke a web service or does Axis use
sockets to do such?  Would it be better to just do the socket
programming inside the RPG app?
Thanks a million to anyone who can help me on this issue.

Sincerely,

Andy
