Re: Web Service

Grizzly,

I have created a couple of web services using WDSc.  It handled all the SOAP 
and WSDL creation for me.  None of the programs were CGI.  They were simply RPG 
or CL programs called by the interface which I believe was a JSP.

Do you have WDSc available?  If so, what version?  The 6.0.1 version has a nice 
wizard you can select by right-clicking on a program object in RSE.  It asks a 
few questions and builds everything for you.

I'm looking into a way to use an RPG program as a web service (server
side). Is it as simple as creating a RPG-CGI program that receives xml
formatted data and writes xml formatted data back to the browser or is
there more to it?

My understanding is that SOAP will be used to post xml formatted data to
the web service and the web service will return xml formatted data. All
of the examples I have seen use SOAP and WSDL and none of the examples I
have seen call an RPG-CGI program.  I'm not opposed to using SOAP and
WDSL, but it is necessary in order for the RPG-CGI program to be
considered a web service?

Regards,

Griz
