The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.

XMLSERVICE is primarily constructed to cover some needs in
PHP and even though it comes with a CGI interface it lack as far as I know
completely session management and control so there will be considerable
security issues if one should use it in a web environment.
While it undoubtedly is useful in a PHP environment it was mostly aimed at:
a) Getting round the limitations of the jt400 interface (which were what caused issues for PHP) - mostly the restrictions on function return values and limits on types of parameters that could be passed.
b) Providing an interface to data that could be used from any platform that supported SQL-type interfaces.
c) Providing a CGI-rest-style interface for situations where b was not applicable.
d) Providing an RPG-based solution that could be extended and improved by the community without waiting for IBM
By doing these things it also enabled toolkit access from any PHP platform and provided a simple foundation for similar tooling to be added to any other language. The new PHP toolkit itself is open-source and so can also be extended by anyone.
