RE: Webservices

Do you have access to Rdi? The tooling contains the Web Services Wizard, which can generate program stubs that can be called from your applications.

Here's an article from 2007 that might help...

Subject: Webservices

With the new opcodes XML-INTO and XML-SAX, it made processing XML documents much easier. Has there been any new advances on the iSeries to make processing of data to and from webservices easier? I have a couple of small programs that create a simple SOAP document in a character string and send it via Scott Klement’s HTTP API’s. This has worked fine for quite awhile. Now I am being asked to look at using a new webservice that is fairly complex in the data that is sent and received. Needless to say, creating the SOAP document to send in a RPG program is complex and prone to a lot of points of failure, not to mention the document returned.

Are there any tools or utilities on the iSeries that make the handling of webservices simplier? I would prefer to have my RPG program simply handle the outgoing and incoming data from the webservice without having to be concerned within my program about the format of the webservice.

Thanks,
