Re: rpg & web services

Just curious. Is this something where there already exists a .net web
service or something that you are going to develop. I just wonder if
it would make more sense to use a simple socket server to have the
application send you data and you return a result or vis versa.

IBM has come out with Integrated Web Services - look at

It is not going to work for complicated stuff, I think, but it can get
you going. There is also on that page a WSDL2RPG tool mentioned - this
helps - I'm not sure how much it does to get you going, but it used to
have stubs to call that gave you access to a web service.

Worth a look - as I say, it's a beginning, not necessarily what really
experienced folks might use.
