Hi Alan,

That's a description of the IBM-supplied Integrated Web Services server which is one way of doing web services. The advantage of using this is that you need not code any XML at all, it's done for you by the tool, under the covers.

There are times when I use that tool -- mainly because it's simple.

Another way is to write an RPG program that's called directly by Apache and receives the XML, JSON, or whatever directly from Apache and parses it itself, with XML-INTO, for example.

It's this second method that I thought was similar to your stored procedure example.
