Re: Consuming Web service

[Steve Richter <stephenrichter@xxxxxxxxx>]

is WSDL still used much?   I had good success using CURL from PHP to access
a web service. ( in my case, dropbox web services).  With PHP you are able
to read and write to the IBM i database, use curl to access the web
service, then use SQL procedures to call native RPG.   To initiate the PHP
code from RPG use the SQL httpGetClob function.   You can use httpGetClob
to access the web service directly. But using PHP gives more flexibilty.
