Re: Trying to learn about REST and IBM i services

My situation was to get a program working as a host ASAP, then build the
client. IWS did much of the work for me on the host side. Building the
Client I used Scott K's tooling for JSON and read his user group session
with the "roll your own" section it became very clear how to do the host
part in pure RPG/Apache. I even have a pure COBOL shop using IWS to do the
hosting side and they are happy with the results mainly due to the
conversion of the JSON packages.. As for Agile, now that I'm down the RPG
path, not looking back.

Apache/cgi to provide using rpg/sql is better than IWS IMHO.
Faster… lower overhead.

Are you looking to consume web service or provide them (sounds like

the

latter).

Have you any CGI experience with RPG? There's not a lot of difference

if

you want to use RPG and Apache for it.
