And are you performing schema validation with the RPG web service?

It's actually pretty easy to expose RPG code as a web service with the new
IWS Server on the iSeries.

I've done some IWS samples where I sent back parms and datasets as well.

Web services in general can be finicky if you don't know how to tickle them
correctly.  We've had lots of fun writing Java web services and calling
from .Net.

Writing a web service in RPG?  I'm sure it can be done.  Good luck with
that...
Generating a web service client in VStudio is easy if there are no wrinkles
at all.  If there is anything outside the box of generated code then we see
finger pointing back to our web service that it does not work.  Well, it
does work.
