Re: Web services primer -- WEB400

WAS Express requires the IM installer to actually put updates into the
actual running server instances. For IWS and the IAS (liberty) servers
running on IBM i are all updated only though a simple PTF update. The
servers will need to be turned off when the PTF is applied.

Tim,

Quick question that I've never thought about since none of my customers
currently use IWS outside of the automatic IBM supplied items. . We
know to
update the WAS Express 8.5 we run a program at the command line or in
the
*ADMIN server to apply the service pack after the PTFs are installed.

Does the IWS server get updated with just PTFs or is there an additional
step there too?

Correction time. WebSphere is not a thing of the past, and on IBM i
it
is
included with your operating system license. Now, I would not
necessarily use full blown WebSphere when starting out with Web
Services.
There are many other options that the IBM i programmer will find
easier
to consume then doing the heavy lifting them selfs.

The Integrated Web Services (IWS) support is part of the IBM i OS,
supported on 7,1 and higher. Allows for SOAP or REST based web
services.
Web Site - [1][2]http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/power/software/i/iws/

Get the latest DG1 PTF Group and you have the most current support (
on
any supported release) This support leveraged the Liberty web
container
along with JAx-WS and JAX-RS. The Web Admin GUI interface gives the
IBM
i
programmer a super easy way to create and host their Web Services.

Thanks Tim

Jim,

Spend some time at Apache.org and take a good look at Tomcat or go
look
at JBOSS both are free open source servers. WebSphere is virtually
a
thing of the past. It makes no sense to spend the money on
WebSphere
today.
