Brad,

        But I still don't understand how to set up a 'Listening' web service 
using
either of the tools since they seem to require a URL (which I don't have -
All I will have is a port).

Rob,

        IBM seems willing to loosen it up - just not in a time frame I can 
survive.


Thanks guys

IBM hates it when they have to bend to support one of the other major
players.  But occasionally they do.  For instance, when Adobe reader came
out with a new release that started getting pickier on the format of a PDF
file IBM had to scramble like hell to get Infoprint Server to clean up
their format.  IBM was peeved, but they did it.  Is it something you feel
that you can push IBM on a little harder?

Replacing a Web Service with RPG...






Hi everybody,

                 I created a web service for a LARGE client to send soap
messages to and
receive responses from.  Unfortunately, their soap/xml is invalid
according
to IBM level 2 support.  That is, Was V6.0 won't parse it successfully.  I
have absolutely no control over the incoming message - most of the others
communicating in this way are using Micr$oft tools which have no apparent
problem with the invalid namespaces used in the soap/xml message or are
manually parsing it in some way.

                 It occurred to me that it might be possible to set up an
RPG program
listening on an internal port and just suck the message in and manually
parse it,  produce a reply and send it.  I immediately thought about
Scott's
HTTPAPI, but I was unsure if the httpapi had any facility for doing that.
It seems that all of the api's require a URL for gets/posts and it isn't
obvious to me how to set that up or if this is even true.

                 I guess I could just write a socket program listening to
an internal port
that I have a reverse proxy in apache pointing to... ?

                 If anybody has any suggestions/hints/pointers I would
appreciate them.

                 Thanks in advance.

Regards,
