RE: RPG as a Web Service Consumer

["Bartell, Aaron L. (TC)" <ALBartell@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

That is actually exactly what I have my system doing now.  User spaces
allowed me to tear RPG off the front end of parsing xml and doing CGI stuff
so I can replace it in the future.  Java is a much better fit in my mind for
this kind of stuff - especially since you can write to a user space from
Java.  The only reason I have RPG doing xml parsing and acting as a web
service is because I am tasked with not using technologies that others in my
group do not know (and Java would be that technology).

HTH,
Aaron Bartell

I think I'm going to layer the code - I'll have one API that simply
sends the contents of a user space to the web service and then returns
the result in another user space.  Then I'll write some quick wrappers -
one to read a script file put the result in a user space and the other
to parse and decode a user space and write it to a file.  The second
one, though, may also have an exit point for calling a user routine for
each line of parsed data.
