RE: Web Service calling RPGLE Service PGM

John,

Unless you want to deal with the SOAP and WDSL handling yourself you will need 
the JAVA front-end.  If you have WDSc it does a good job of creating that for 
you.

As far as the XML handling, the others who have replied are more experienced at 
that than I am so I would check out their suggestions.

Rick

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
