Re: Web Services Solutions

I don't believe that the i5 can expose a web service written entirely in
RPG. This is an issue with RPG and not
the i5. The RPG code would need to execute inside of an HTTP server for the
service to work.RPG programs only execute on
AS/400 or S3x type machines. You can simulate a web-service type interface
by using a RPG program that implements sockets, or use CGI type calls.

The web-services created by the webservices wizard in Websphere are not a
Windows based solution. They are Java based and
they run within a websphere application server which can run on the i5, a
p-series box and a win2003 server. So you are not
investing in Windows. The i5 does have the ability to consume a webservice
using an application written completely in RPG.



Hope this helps.

Has anyone done any research on solutions that run on the i5 that can
use existing RPG code or has the ability to develop code to deliver web
services via the i5. I am not interested in a windows based solution for
web services.





Thanks in advance.
