RE: RPG as a Web Service Consumer

So what about this approach, anybody??  Been a while since I looked at
CGIDEV2, and don't recall much about this part of it.

There would be some inherent advantages to the approach, afaik.  May (or may
not) be able to leverage what Joe's working on, as well, using the concepts
that most have forgotten.

| True, Alex's template should do what you need, with minor modifications.
