That's not how IWS works AT ALL...

The idea behind IWS is that you can write an RPG program, fairly normal, 
no special XML or anything...   then just point IWS at it, and it works.

It does not attempt to take XML and generate RPG parameters for it!!

IWS does have limitations.  It can only handle 7 parameters and they 
must be either passed by reference or be a 10i 0 field.

But, those fields can be data structures, and the structures can have 
many parameters...

Or, you could just pass one large character string, and you could put 
XML data inside that character string...
