RE: need simple RPGLE WS host example



Thank you Henrik, much appreciated.

Perhaps I'm making this much more difficult than I need to (or maybe I'm not)  I simply want to host a Web Service on the iSeries.  I've tried but have come nowhere close to understanding what the wizard does in WDSc.  And part of that might be that we do not run Websphere.  I'm using the standard Apache Server on i.

Simply put ... I want to host a Web Service on iSeries.  I want others to be able to consume this Web Service using standard SOAP requests.  If your suggestion is what it will take to get me there, I'd be very happy, however, I've never used CGIDEV2, nor would I know where to begin.  Any examples you might offer would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
v

Hi Vince,

if this is question of recieving some XML and responding to it I can't see the problem in it - I think the newest version of
CGIDEV2 just dump it into a stmf, but haven't tested it.

If you first have XML either in a stmf or in memory, it's a piece of cake to read it and make a responce.

Thanks Scott

Yes, essentially, I want to write (from scratch - by necessity) a Web 
Service hosted on iSeries.  I've written quite a few Web Service 
Consumers, and I'm quite comfortable with that.  Thanks, by the way, for 
all you've done with HTTPAPI.

So, I think it looks like I need to take charge of reading standard in. 
I'm following a few of the threads, but the coder in me is biting at the 
bit, so, I'll read a little code a little, (and probably curse a lot :))

Hi Vince,

Your question appears to be about how to write a program that receives 
HTTP requests on the host side.   It's not really about HTTPAPI -- as you 
seem to already understand that part of it.

Unfortunately, I'm not sure that I've written anything really great about 
the server side -- I'll have to look into that, and see what I can do. 
It's a tough topic to cover, because most everyone uses tooling rather 
than writing it themselves, and that makes it hard to know exactly what to 
cover and not cover.

But anyway...   you might find the following thread in the System iNetwork 
forums interesting...
http://forums.systeminetwork.com/isnetforums/showthread.php?t=53268

I don't know that it's exactly what you want, but it certainly is 
similar...

I just can't seem to understand what to do and how to do it ...

I don't even know WHAT to ask ...

I've got an apache instance up and running
I've got a program that I would like to be the "host"

I've got a program ready to consume it.

The "host" program accepts a parameter, let's say an email address.

All I want to do, for starters is consume the WS with  a request similar 
to this

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/
"<http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/> xmlns:ves="
http://ves.wsbeans.iseries";<http://ves.wsbeans.iseries>>
   <soapenv:Header/>
   <soapenv:Body>
      <ves:ves>
         <ves:inputData>
            <ves:USRIN>somebody@xxxxxxxxxxxxx<
mailto:somebody@xxxxxxxxxxxxx></ves:USRIN>
         </ves:inputData>
      </ves:ves>
   </soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>

When I do, I get a QSYSOPR error  (Pointer or parameter error) on the 
"host" program, so it's hitting it, but not sending any parameters

All I need is an example, anything will help
