RE: RPG as Web service

Not sure if you can deploy to the integrated web service server from WDSC or
not. I never actually tried. You can find out very quickly though if you
just give it a quick try.

Don't know about the packaging for RDi. Maybe Joe Pluta can answer that
one.

My only experience with the WDSC Web services wizards was at an IBM
seminar, so thank you for the info.
The limitations I am aware are maximum of 32 parms to a program or 7 to a
procedure in a service program.

Also the Integrated wizards used to choke when parameter names contains
characters such as @, $ (or they refrered to a DS with such a name), but
there is a PTF for that (V5R4 SI31751).

A couple of questions:
- Can those wizards target the Integrated server or do we need to deploy
on Websphere?
- With the repackaging of WDSC to RDi, haven't the wizards gone to the
more expensive SOA edition?

Thank you.
Thierry.
