I don't believe that the i5 can expose a web service written entirely in
RPG.

<vendor>
I have yet to find something in the web service realm that RPG cannot
accomplish.  With that being said, our company offers a tool named RPG-XML
Suite (www.rpg-xml.com) that makes it quite easy to develop web services
using RPG (100% RPG - no Java, no Windows, no Websphere). 
</vendor>

When you widdle down web services, what you have left is text (say XML).
Now that text can get fairly complicated to understand and deal with when
you introduce the myriad of other acronymed web service technologies.  I
have an article coming out in systeminetwork.com that looks to address the
most common technologies involved in web services and describe how they are
used and why they were created.  Check it out if you have a moment. I am not
sure which issue it will be in, but the article is due on Monday (I better
get writing :-).

HTH,

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.
