I'm doing it with ASNA Visual RPG (AVR) Com+ modules. The Data entry form
page puts the data into an XML document object (Internet Explorer V5.5+
only, unfortunately), sends that back to IIS, where it is retrieved by the
AVR module. The AVR module uses the Microsoft XML Document API to extract
the data from the document object, serializes it into a 32KB parameter,
which is passed to the AS400. On the AS400, a server program parses the
memory stream and updates the database. If there is a buffer overflow,
multiple calls are processed until there is no more data. It sounds like a
lot, but each piece is fairly simple, quite reliable, and impressively
quick. Each function requires a dedicated Com+ module - AS400 host program
pair. If multiple functions are required for an application, I use an entry
point dispatch module to pass control to a dedicated module in the program
or, when multiple entry points are required, in an external service
program. I've gotta say that ASNA has been a class act. AVR works, and ASNA
provides excellent support.

I'm a long-time RPG person and I'm new to WDSCi and new to Java, so go easy
on me. I have a requirement to call a web service on an IIS Windows server,
which I've got working using cobbled together components from the internet.
The IIS web-service returns a SOAP XML document which contains data that I
will use to update files on the AS/400. In search on the internet, I've
stumbled on ashpool.jar, which appears to accept XML data then update a
database using JDBC. Is anyone on this list taking XML data and updating an
AS/400 file? How are you doing it? Unfortunately, we are stuck on V4R5 for
the forseeable future, so the new licenced program (5733-XT1 XML Toolkit for
Java) is not an option.
