Do they get to choose what data format they'll use (soap, xml, json, etc?)
If so, the YAJL port would be sweet if it interfaced with ILE COBOL which
it most likely does... building JSON is a breeze.

The apache server already does all the job/thread control, no need to stack
things (although I do enjoy node.js.. just seems like they're just
rewriting everything that is already available.. thus a "stack"). I do so
enjoy node.js so far, though.

I think of node development as a "reverse onion". Instead of peeling back
layers, you add them as you go along in your development. Maybe one of
those balls that's made out of rubber bands... would be a better
explanation :) But it sure is fun!

Tim,

Quick question that I've never thought about since none of my
customers
currently use IWS outside of the automatic IBM supplied items. . We
know to
update the WAS Express 8.5 we run a program at the command line or in
the
*ADMIN server to apply the service pack after the PTFs are installed.

Does the IWS server get updated with just PTFs or is there an
additional
step there too?

Correction time. WebSphere is not a thing of the past, and on IBM
i
it
is
included with your operating system license. Now, I would not
necessarily use full blown WebSphere when starting out with Web
Services.
There are many other options that the IBM i programmer will find
easier
to consume then doing the heavy lifting them selfs.

The Integrated Web Services (IWS) support is part of the IBM i OS,
supported on 7,1 and higher. Allows for SOAP or REST based web
services.

Get the latest DG1 PTF Group and you have the most current support
(
on
any supported release) This support leveraged the Liberty web
container
along with JAx-WS and JAX-RS. The Web Admin GUI interface gives
the
IBM
i
programmer a super easy way to create and host their Web Services.

Thanks Tim

Jim,

Spend some time at Apache.org and take a good look at Tomcat or
go
look
at JBOSS both are free open source servers. WebSphere is
virtually
a
thing of the past. It makes no sense to spend the money on
WebSphere
today.
