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

   Hi Jason,
   I meant standard, which means conventional.
   In my organization anything which deflects from a Microsoft standard
   internet API or a webservice,it is considered as obsolete.
   I agree that CGIDEV2 we can build greater faster interfaces but they
   are looking for something which makes more sense to them with what
   they have seen yet. So if i have something which is very efficient and
   nobody is ready to use it, it is of no value.
   Our app is a complex mix of 5 to 10 different applications running on
   on my platforms.
   Thanks,
   Musthafa

     Musthafa,
     I was a little confused on what "not the conventional ones" meant.
     We currently have about 3,000 of our customers using one of our
     order
     entry web sites and we are getting ready to release another order
     entry
     web site for just normal customers on the web.
     Both sites, have graphics, use embedded styles, embedded Java
     Scripts
     and one lets the users pick what size of screen they want so
     everything
     is resized according to their screen size they choose.
     All of this is using CGIDEV2.
     If you are referring to "conventional" as "standard" then I would
     probably agree.  However; non-standard free/standard not free.
     Actually
     some of the "standard" items were quite costly and ran much slower.
      I
     had a representative from IBM come in and demonstrate Web Sphere.
     All I
     wanted him to do was bring up our customer file on a web page so I
     can
     see how it worked.  This "expert" took about 45 minutes to do this
     messing around with Java Beans and when he got it done, it took
     about 30
     seconds for it to show on the page.  Not only that, but the
     development
     studio you installed took up about 750MB of memory just to have it
     running on the pc.  I laughed at the guy and showed him how I would
     do
     it.  From scratch, I put something together in about 5 minutes and
     it
     showed the records in about 3 seconds.
     For me and my company, we choose the "non-standard" for multiple
     reasons.  We run at a P5 level with 3,000 customers hitting the box
     all
     day long with no hesitation at all and it was free.

   You can create a webservice using CGIDEV2 but not the conventional
   ones
   though. You can implement the logic of webservice implemented through
   CGIDEV2.
