Re: web services ConvertTemp (private reply)

Tim, I have already done this,  At least 3 times, plus several jabs at various parts of it.  I am not the brightest guy in the room, but I can successfully click the next button repeatedly.

I have also tried a half dozen times, at least, with a REST web service.

You appear to be trying to come up with a REST syntax URI to invoke a web service that is designed and implemented as a SOAP service.

That's what it looked like to me too.

My advice would be to concentrate on the REST API, do not bother with SOAP, it's bloated, it overly complicates the issue and is a dying protocol anyway. Follow the instructions in this link and ignore anything to do with SOAP!

For several years now, IBM i users have had the ability to deploy ILE programs and services programs as web services based on the SOAP protocol using the integrated web services server support that is part of the operating system.

SOAP and REST are not synonyms and are not "interchangeable."




If you read the instructions for IWS, you will see that you must decide, "up front" whether you want a given web service to be either SOAP or REST, and it must be told that at "design time" because IWS will generate different "wrapper" code based on which method you choose.

works. It asks for me to fill in (TEMPIN>?<TEMPIN> and then it it
correctly populates <TEMPOUT><TEMPOUT>

It never asks for FtoC or CtoF, which surprises me. ConvertTemp is
already set up when the application server is created, and so far as I
know, it is SOAP.

In your example URI "web/services/ConvertTempService/ConvertTemp" it looks like you might be either confusing the SOAP and REST implementations or the service program name and the mapped resource name that points to it. ...
