Most webservices are http-based.  Hence, you need to have a web server 
to handle the communication, and that is as far as I know not easy to do 
in RPG.  There are lots in C so that should be doable and then link them 
together.  You also need the XML-handling and mere templating will not 
do it unfortunately.

Did Icebreak get an Open Source release?  I believe this is exactly what 
they did.
