Re: Help With Getting HTTP Server running

i understand how you would be confused...

wipe all the scott klement webservice api stuff from your head for a
second...

last company i was at, i was tasked with writing RPGLE pgms with YAHL (with
no PCML h-spec) and they would receive a string parm in (json format) and a
string parm out (json format), that would I would of course produce in my
rpgle pgm.
These backend pgms i wrote were invoked from an http endpoint.
I'm trying to recreate that same http endpoint now.

Hi Jay,

Your statements do confuse me. You want an http endpoint, but you also
don't want to set up a webservice? I don't see how that would happen.

You will want to rethink what you want to use, and probably reread
Scott's presentation you mentioned
(ttps://www.common.org/scotts-iland-blog/rpg-and-yajl/) with more
attention. It is all explained there in detail.

The way you want to do with the program with an input and output
parameter is simply not how this works.
The program that is called from your instance will not have parameters.
In the program you need to retrieve the URI content, extract the input
parameter, do your work with that data, and write your output in the
response with yajl_writeStdout.

:

so, i think i need to clarify... i don't need an http endpoint setup to
accommodate a true webservice (detecting the various methods
get/put/post/delete)... I simply need an http endpoint that will allow

an i

program to be called and accept a 65535 varying string and return a 65535
varying string.

The reason is because this company has already established methods for

rest

API's.
I'm actually on the quest to put an end to jdbc/odbc queries by utilizing
an http server with an endpoint to accept above mentioned parms, use YAJL
to return output in JSON format and regain gatekeeper title of the i
database.

The whole webservice concept really just needs to be ignored.

so surely, someone has setup this type of endpoint before?

thanks

Jay
