Re: Web services primer

The languages in this case are PHP and COBOL. Clearly they use
HTML/JavaScript as needed too. No RPG and so far no real JAVA up to this
point.

What language do they use?

<vendor>
If RPG, check out RPG-XML Suite: rpg-xml.com </vendor>

If they're open to non-RPG options then things like Node.js make it dead
simple to do web services (no Apache/Tomcat config necessary, Node.js
includes its own webserver).

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.
