RE: Accessing Service Programs from .NET

My advice, and you won't like it, is to do your own website/webserving on your 
iSeries.  It's not difficult at all and you have soooo many options of how to 
do it.  CGI and RPG, Websphere, Tomcat, Linux, and on and on and on.

    Subject: Accessing Service Programs from .NET
    
    I have not found much so far to help with this in the archives or the
    manuals.  
    
    We have agreed to have another company manage our web presence using a
    package that company has developed.  The other company uses .NET (C#) over
    SQL Server as its development environment.
    
    These programs need to be able to execute procedures we have embedded in
    service programs on our iSeries (V5R2) to retrieve different information
    stored on our iSeries so we won't have business logic stored in more than
    one place.  Stored procedures apparently only work with an OPM model and
    user defined functions must apparently be used in a "Select" statement.
    
    Communication via sockets is potentially an option and I do have Scott
    Klement's excellent sockets tutorial.
    
    If it matters, communication with our iSeries will be over a point to point
    T1 line from a remote site.
    
    I would greatly appreciate any advice, samples, or RTFM pointers.
    
    Thank you.
