Quick note - Axis is really old.  Axis2 is the current framework
implementation.

Yes I have used axis in the past on the IBMi to write web service consumers
using the Web Services Client for C++ toolkit.  Unfortunately at the time
it proved too buggy so I resorted to an RPG solution.  I must go back and
review what is available now some time soon.

Thanks
Kevin

Kevin,

Not sure if you know this but Axis can run on the iSeries but needs Tomcat
or another servlet container.

Axis is pretty nice for web services under Tomcat.

And Tomcat smokes with the 32-Bit JVM.

" Writing a web service in RPG?  I'm sure it can be done.  Good luck with
that..."

Yes it can, and it is not that difficult really. We have to do it (as a
client or a server) on the IBMi out of necessity. However, it is admittedly
far simpler using something like .Net or axis - but for us having a MS
based layer in the mix was not an option.
