Re: Web services primer

Bob,

Thanks. Actually IWS and WAS 8.5 Express are free to any IBM i customer.
In fact IWS is already installed on your system, so no cost for either. I
would agree that a full copy of WAS is not an option here. I had not
thought of JBOSS even though I had it running years ago on a V5R4 box,
thanks for the reminder.

Jim,

Spend some time at Apache.org and take a good look at Tomcat or go look at
JBOSS both are free open source servers. WebSphere is virtually a thing of
the past. It makes no sense to spend the money on WebSphere today.

Folks:



I have a customer that is about to take the plunge into web services.
They first need to choose if they use WAS 8.5 Express, IWS or TOMCAT.
Some of the IBM i instances have the Zend server so they would use
that when available. Next they need a good primer about design and

implementation.

I've found the basic web sites from IBM but I'm wondering if the group
has some suggestions on best practices and resources to use.



The customer is at V7R1 now but will be at V7R2 very soon and
potentially
V7R3 by end of year. Any comments on the IBM i environment as it
relates to web services would be welcome as well.



While I can build and deploy a simple web service, I am far from an
expert therefore my request to you.
