R: Example for calling Web Service and Post a Json File -- WEB400

Hi Scott ,
thanks for you reply ..
sorry for my confusion, in effect INVSTAT is for XML and not Json. Anyway
I have the same problem also with other Web service the wait for Json file.
My purpose is to understand why the my friend's code "send" in the REQMETH
fields the 'OPTIONS' values , as my friend should write an App that should
call the Ibm I Web service, but if he (my friend) don't understand how to
call Ibm I' s Web service we can't go on in our project .. so i would ask
to Html with jQuery (??) expert if can help us to understand where we are
wrong ..

Thanks

Gio.Cot,

I'm not understanding this at all. You say you want to send JSON data, but
your example is not JSON at all, it's XML.

You say that REQMETH is set to 'OPTIONS' rather than POST, which means that
your method of calling this web service is not working properly.
You provided some code (looks like HTML with jQuery) but I'm not familiar
enough with jQuery to tell you what's wrong with it.

Instead, please consider using SoapUI to test your web services. Recent
versions of SoapUI have the ability to call REST web services (as well as
SOAP) and it works very nicely.

If you are using YAJL, there's now a routine called
yajl_stdin_load_tree() that can load the JSON data directly from stdin, so
you don't have to code that part yourself (very similar to the
yajl_writeStdout routine we discussed in a previous thread.)

Good luck!

Hi all

My friends written a small code's piece (see below) to call an ibm
I's web service and post a Json file; But when I run it for calling
for example Scott Klement INVSTAT (downloaded from
<http://www2.systeminetwork.com/code/index.cfm?fuseaction=ShowAllIssue
Code> http://www2.systeminetwork.com/code/...owAllIssueCode (July 2012
Source Code)), in debug mode I see REQMETH fields with 'OPTIONS'
value and the inputXml empty. I Know that I for testing I could call
my ibm I's web service also with an RPG program , but we need to know
how to call ibm I's web service also from other server/device out of
Ibm I world . Can some help us to understand where the below code is
not Ok.

Thanks in advance
