Re: Consume Web service

[Scott Klement <midrange-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Gad,

Unfortunately, the sample web service that they picked as a 
demonstration (the CurrencyConvertor at www.webservicex.net) has been 
down, returning -1.

It does not matter if you call it with the IBM IWS client, HTTPAPI, SQL 
or GetURI -- it's the web services server that is down, the problem 
isn't on your side or with what you're calling it with.  The problem is 
the demo web service.

You'll need to find a different currency converter to use.

That one was just a demo, anyway -- it was not meant to be used in 
production.
