Re: Is there a web services tutorial that is complete, simple, and documented?

Well it would probably be http://Some.iSeries.com:10100/convertTemp/FtoC?90 <http://some.iseries.com:10100/convertTemp/FtoC?90> Booth.

I among others have pointed you fully working examples which include downloadable code. I think the problem most of us following this thread are having is that we don't know which of the various things you've been pointed to you don't understand.

Look at this article http://ibmsystemsmag.com/ibmi/developer/rpg/web_service_rest <http://ibmsystemsmag.com/ibmi/developer/rpg/web_service_rest> read it and tell me what you don't understand and I will gladly elaborate so that you can.

But ask the questions in steps. When there's something you don't understand - ask. Use my personal email if you don't want to do it over the list.

I have spent a great deal of time following various explanations, discussions, and descriptions of providing a web service. These discussions span 15 years, many variations, and many paths. The most comprehensive looks to be the ConvertTemperature example provided with the Web Services Wizard. I have been able to make it work in test mode but not in the for-real.

I am not interested in XML, SOAP, or WDSL. It seems reasonable to me that http://Some.iSeries.com:10100/convertTemp?FtoC?90 in a web browser should return 50.

Hence my request: Anyone know of a very basic tutorial that includes a complete but simple web services application, including setting up the server, setting up the application server, and an SQLRPGLE program to provide the data.

Yes, there are a lot of very fine features that can be included but for now that is just muddying the waters. I am looking for as close to a HelloWorld as it can get and still be complete.
