Hi Richard

is a requirement. our customer already use SOAP with this message structure
also with other people and would continue to use it.

Is there a reason you feel the need to use SOAP or is it a requirement ?

A good CGI RPG program can return XML, JSON, whatever format you want and

should be pretty simple to write.
In the past i have already written Rest Web Service (server and client)using
Json format and they work very well; now i was thinking to use the same
tecnique i.e. reading HTTP incoming data with QtmhRdSti Api

but i'm having some problems in:
- configure Web Service in IBM i HTTP
- how to try my Web Service with SoapUi

SOAP is not the preferred method these days from my understanding.

i Know

can you help me ?
thanks in advance

subject: [WEB400] Exposing in IBM i a Web Service that receive an Item
list

hi to everybody,
I should exopse in IBM i' HTTP a SOAP Web service, that receives a list of

Item and to write relative program

that it elaborates the Web Service requests; in past I have had the

opportunity of doing things similar

with Web Service type REST, but it is the first time that I try to solve

the problem list with SOAP WS; my

doubts are:
- How I can specify the input parameters in Web service configuration

through the IWS Wizard?

- same thing for the RPG program , how can read the input (List item)

parameters ?

do I have to specify an array obligatorily?
can some one give me some suggestions on as to approach thi problem ?

thanks

p.s. i'm running V6R1

this the example of the Xml that I should receive

<SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="
<http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/>
http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"; xmlns:ns1="
<http://www.mysite.it/WS01> http://www.mysite.it/WS01";> <SOAP-ENV:Body>
