I had the same problem a few years ago and ended up writing something
similar to what Walden is describing.

Subject: Web Service calling RPGLE Service PGM

 Has anyone created a web service in house for receiving say a soap message
with an XML  document embedded and interact on that XML Doc via RPGLE. 
Just curious because just starting the project and like everyone knows an
XML document has no set length and with integrating a Web Service with RPGLE
(Service Program) my max length is 65535 for a character parm... 
Well from all the documentation in WDSC and on the web you create a java
program that actually calls an RPGLE Service program passing the parms which
in this case is an actual XML Document.  I even called iSeries support
because i did not like the idea however thats what they tell me i have to
do...  Thats why i am trying to find out from others if anyone else has had
this type of project to do. 
Just wondering if anyone else has needed to create a web service in house
for outside clients to access using RPGLE and how they dealt with some of
these issues. 
Thanks-john
