too clunky for main lines services....not sure how you figure that. We have thousands of customers that are using IWS today in production for a wide range of options. simple, to complex, to very high hit ratio. While I love the other options that are out there, and they certainly server a great purpose, the other key factor to consider is support. If your businesses is ok with support for pan open source based perspective, these other options are fine, if you need enterprise solutinos, with enterprise support, IWS is that.

Check out this Github project from Niels Liisberg. It's a self-hosted HTTP server for quick and easy RPG based services and even sites. I plan to be doing some work with it this year.
You can also use NGINX or Apache as a front end if you need an SSL layer in front of it.

Otherwise you can consider:
CGI or Node as you mentioned or even PHP or Java. Many options.
Personally I would not choose IWS Server. Too klunky for mainstream services.
My two cents 😊

Hi All,
I am planning to introduce Web Services for my IBMi application. I need some suggestion to choose which Web Services to go with.
This web services which i am planning will be mainly focused for REST Based API Calls. Also i did a small POC in my application using Scott's YAJL tool using DATA-INTO and DATA-GEN for Parsing JSON Document into Data Structure and vice versa. So i am planning to use Scott's YAJL tool as well.
Initially i thought of using IWS, but i could see the below two drawbacks with IWS
1) In Error Scenario the JSON body will not be sent back to Client
2) It Supports only 4 HTTP methods (GET, PUT, DELETE and POST) but as per my application requirement i need to use PATCH method as well.
Do any one knows when IBM will fix the above two stuffs? If it is within 3 or 6 months then i am very happy to use IWS as Web Services.
The other options in my mind are
1) With Apache HTTP Server and using CGI method, call the RPG Program
2) Node.js
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Regards,
Surender K
