RE: WSDL2RPG or not?

I gave the tools400 version of WSDL2RPG a try with this web service since the example web service is no longer available.

I had to really strip down the "operations" to get things to compile into a single service program... If I selected all available operations in the WSDL I ran into the 16mb limit... I only need 2 or 3 of the 30+ available.

I'm having trouble following the example in the FAQ "How to create a test program v1.6.pdf". Is there some other resource available that's a bit more "current"? This appears to have been written when V6R1 was the current release.

Thanks,
Greg

That is what he was talking about Booth.

Most think of IWS as the Server part. WSDL2RPG is the client side.

And I repeat my earlier comment - while I quite like what they have done with the server side (IWS) the WSDLT2RPG in my opinion is far too complicated and produces a result that just doesn't feel like RPG.

IWS does a nice job and it uses RPG.

When consuming SOAP web services, at what point is it advantageous to use WSDL2RPG versus creating the requests and handling the responses with HTTPAPI?

I ask because the WSDL is fairly complex and contains a lot of things I likely will never use. I may make 4-5 different calls for in-house use.

I've not used WSDL2RPG other than with the training examples.

Just looking for opinions.
