I find Postman much easier to use than SOAPUI which is cluttered up with all the SOAP junk that you don't need.

Subject: Re: [WEB400] IWS REST POST request message body to input parameter
That test facility seems to have disappeared at some point. I see it in
the IWS wizard on 5.4, but not on 7.3. That's why I've been using
SOAPUI for the testing. Which is another thing I'm not too familiar with.

Have you tried using the test facility built into the wizard? That might help you narrow down the point of failure.

The way I understand it, the web service created by IWS receives the POST request from SOAPUI (running on a Win7 VM). The POST request has a message body that contains the XML shown below. The web service then calls the ADDCASE procedure in my service program, passing it the message body. That should be the XML noted below.
However, when ADDCASE gets control, that parameter is blank. The const means ADDCASE cannot expect any changes to that parameter to be returned to the caller, and it doesn't. The pCaseNbr parameter is used to return data to the caller.
I should also mention that the other procedure, GETCASE, has the same const on its input parameter and it works as expected. In that case, the data is not coming from the HTTP GET message body, but from the path parameters of the URL used to invoke the request.
I tried to follow the java created by IWS but I failed to see where the message body is actually placed in the parameter that is passed to ADDCASE. Presumably in the Apache web server that actually receives the request.

I'm confused. That parm is defined as Const - so input only. If IWS is honouring that it would be expected to be blank.--

My procedure (in a service program) has this:
p AddCase b export
d pi
d pCaseXML 1024a const input
d pCaseNbr 256a output
The problem is, pCaseXML is always blank. I ran a TCP app trace on the HTTP server, and it appears to be reading the message body from the POST, although it doesn't show the contents:
0002DBEE:256048 mod_was_ap22_http: cb_read_body: Entry
0002DBEE:256072 ap_setup_client_block()
0002DBEE:256080 ap_should_client_block()
0002DBEE:256088 ap_get_client_block(), length requested = 343.
0002DBEE:256088 ap_http_filter()
0002DBEE:256104 core_input_filter, mode = AP_MODE_READBYTES or AP_MODE_SPECULATIVE.
0002DBEE:256120 Collection services: r_IUO->bytes_received = 562
0002DBEE:256120 mod_was_ap22_http: cb_read_body: Exit
Am I configuring the IWS service incorrectly? Or am I supposed to get the message body in some other way?
