Re: WEB400 Digest, Vol 13, Issue 399

Hello,

HTTPAPI is usefull to call webservice. (the client part). it is not
intended to provide a webservice (the server part)

to implement a webservice server, you should (basically)

- write a RPG program with 2 parms
1) input DS matching the request XML)
2) output DS matching the response...
- generate the PCML when you compile the program
- install and configure the web service server using
http:/:yoursystem:2001/HttpAdmin
- install the service in the webservice server using the PCML...

subject: [WEB400] IBM i Receive XML POST

Hi Everyone,


I have a requirement to begin receiving POSTed XML requests from a
customer, process the request, and return an XML response back. I'm not
sure where to begin. I have attempted this in PHP but have not been
successful.


So now I'm considering handling this in RPG using Scott's HTTPAPI but I
haven't located an example that receives a XML POST request, only those
that read from existing XML files.


Does anyone have thoughts on best route to take without investment in
another software package as there is no budget? RPG vs PHP vs ???.


Thanks in advance,

Matt
