Re: IBM i in the cloud (was social media)

Joe,

so you haven't meet a system with 6000 files yet - dude ;-)

The generation of REST services needed fo 6000 files will be a process
that takes about 30 minutes in my environment.

And the services will all have an "output parameter"

output=json
output=xml
output=csv
output=html

I do agree - I have never meet a system or an application that needed acces
to all 6000 files but either we just generates in batch or we pick up the
nessecary files

6000 SOAP services ?

I don't need 6000 services. In fact, I don't need anything nearly as
cumbersome as that. I need one or two services per object - one for
list operations and another for CRUD operations. A typical application
might require a couple of dozen services.

And you keep gliding between REST and SOAP, but I find them to be very
different. I use SOAP for external transactions which require
authorization and authentication on a transaction-by-transaction basis
and REST for inter-tier communications where the authorization is done
at the application level.

I don't think you and I agree on what a service architecture is supposed
to be.

Seriously. 6000 services? Dude.
