Re: Third Party XML Web Services

Hi Aaron,

        We access a web service belonging to Ford Motor Company for electronic
vehicle condition reporting and host a web service on our iSeries WAS for
them to send various data to us.

I was just curious as to what everyone else on the iSeries is accessing for
third party XML web services. For instance I have done web service
integration for UPS's online tooling, Connect Ship, Microsoft's CRM package,
etc.

What are others connecting to from their iSeries? ... And connecting to a
stock quote system does not count ;-)

Another tidbit: I found it interesting that w3.org would post usage
scenarios of web services.
http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/NOTE-ws-arch-scenarios-20040211/. I guess I am
just used to going there to read RFC's or other specification type documents
which accounts for some pretty dry reading. Interesting to see them actually
putting something into perspective and taking it out of the abstract :-)
Next thing you know they will build XML right into the RPG compiler <tic>

Thanks,
