Re: Microsoft .NET frontending IBM i

The IWS functionality available since V5R4 on i creates a WSDL from your RPG program - I think it uses that PCML stuff. But that's a black box that should work.

As to black boxes - EVERYTHING is a black box in some way. Every programming language is a black box to generate code for some lower-level process. At the lowest level, assembly is a set of commands that get converted to machine code, in some fashion basically hidden from us. Black box.

Just a humble observation to add grist to the mill.

I can interpret then and I can read them, but I don't hand generate them. Clang...Clang... :-)

It's more uncommon for the hand development of WSDL and XML.

Let's hear from the masses........

I find it baffling that someone developing web services cannot interpret or read a WSDL or XML schema. It's not uncommon. I run into it all the time.
