Re: XML-SAX opcodes vs. WSDL2RPG
hi Carter,
XML-SAX is an ILE RPG operation code -- it's built in to RPG, just as
EVAL, MOVE, CHAIN and SETLL are built-in to RPG. If you already own the
ILE RPG compiler and are running V5R4 or higher, then you already own
it, and it's supported in the same way as the rest of the language.
XML-SAX is an XML parser. That's very different from what WSDL2RPG
does... Granted, WSDL2RPG does parse XML, but it does many other things
as well.
Also, there are two completely different products that are referred to
as WSDL2RPG. The first one is Thomas Raddatz's open source WSDL2RPG
tool -- this is certainly not supported by IBM, instead, it's supported
by the community via _this_ _mailing_ _list_. (Which presumably is why
you're here??)
The other tool is called Integrated Web Services (IWS), and is provided
by IBM. It has a QShell command inside it named "wsdl2rpg" so many
people refer to it as "wsdl2rpg" (although, technically, that's not the
name of the product at all.) IWS is also included with the operating
system at V5R4 or higher (but requires a minimum PTF level to work) and
is supported by IBM along with the rest of the OS.
Comparing XML-SAX to WSDL2RPG is like comparing a table to a tree.
Sure, you use wood from a tree to make a table -- but you don't go out
and decide "should I buy a tree, or should I buy a table?"

We are at a decision point between using XML-SAX opcodes vs. WSDL2RPG
We have been unable to locate any credible reviews on which one is
better to use.
In our case we will be sending out a simple request from our iSeries
system via you httpapi product to an IBM P-Series server within our
fire wall to IBM's Intiate product and taking in an XML response that
we will need to break apart push to a DDS defined Physical File.
Our considerations for the decision are:
* Will it make the process easy to code>
* Will it make the process easy to debug?
* Is the product proven/reliable?
* Is the product supported by IBM?
