Re: Question(s) about Web Services using RPG/HTTPAPI

[Scott Klement <sk@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

HTTPAPI is a client application only.  It does not provide (or 
"publish") web services.  It can only consume them.

IBM provides several very nice free tools for providing web services on 
i.  Personally, I suggest you start with the Integrated Web Services 
(IWS) tool.  There's a simple example, and links to documentation here:
http://systeminetwork.com/article/ibms-integrated-web-services

IWS also provides a tool for consuming web services, but I don't 
recommend that tool unless you're very good with pointers and C-style 
code.  So if you want to consume, stick with HTTPAPI (maybe with 
WSDL2RPG) and if you want to provide, try IWS.
