Hi All,
I'm attempting to connect my first sample RPGLE client app to my first sample Web Service on the IWS...
I'm doing the TempConvert2 example from the IBM Systems Magazine series of 3 articles:
http://www.ibmsystemsmag.com/ibmi/tipstechniques/applicationdevelopment/Integrated-Web-Services-With-ILE-Programs/?page=7
I believe I've got everything setup correctly and running on the IWS, and the Server/Service are running...
I've followed their example steps to create the C Stub modules and the RPGLE with all the modules included...
The problem comes when I issue the call to the client app : "CALL CVTTEMP/CNVRTTEMP '5'"
Source from the example client app:
Program: CNVRTTEMP Library: CVTTEMP Module: CVTTEMPCL
// Get a Web service stub. The host and port for the endpoint may need
// to be changed to match host and port of Web service. You can pass
// *NULL to getStub() if the endpoint in the WSDL file is correct.
Endpoint = '
http://S10b4613:10010/web/services/ConvertTemp2' + X'00'
WsStubP = getStub(%Addr(Endpoint));
// Initialize input values.
TempInF = %trim(TEMPIN) + X'00';
pTempInF = %addr(TempInF);
// Invoke the ConvertTemp Web service operation.
ResultP = ConvertTemp(WsStubP:%Addr(Input));
// Prepare output string depending on what was returned.
if (ResultP <> *NULL);
OutputText = %str(pTempInF) + ' Fahrenheit is '
+ %str(pTempOutC) + ' Celsius.';
else;
OutputText = 'No results returned...';
endif;
When it invokes the Web Service it goes into status "connect" and hangs there until it times out...

QAXIS10HC QSYSDIR 148 OpenChannel__11HTTPChannelF >
QSOSRV1 QSYS 83 connect
I'm able to debug it and see that the WsStubP is getting populated with an address for the Endpoint variable...
When I try sending a *Null to getstub() as suggested, It doesn't hang, instead it responds instantly: 'No results returned...'.
So, what is the secret to getting the the endpoint to point correctly to the WebServer/WebService...?
Web Server shows port of 10000, the Web Service shows a port of 10010...
I've tried:
Endpoint = '
http://S10b4613:10010/web/services/ConvertTemp2' + X'00'
Endpoint = '
http://S10b4613:10010/web/services/ConvertTemp' + X'00'
Endpoint = '
http://S10b4613:10000/web/services/ConvertTemp2' + X'00'
Endpoint = '
http://S10b4613:10000/web/services/ConvertTemp' + X'00'
(Both Services are running on the IWS, ConvertTemp and ConvertTemp2)
Could it be there is a Server on the iSeries we need to start...?
We are at V6R1M0 and we do have the prescribed PTFs installed.
Looking for any assistance you can provide...
Thanks,
