Re: Setting up a web services server, and services

Hi Booth, we publish services almost every day (we have hundreds of them
and all of them using only REST)

I migth suggest to verify PTF level, usually the HTTP group but not only
since the service relay on many components.

As you folks know, this has been plaguing me off and on since July. I
have repeated this process a bunch of times with the same miserable
results. Let me stress: this is about setting up and using a web
services server. It's not about RPG, SQL, xml, json, yajl, node.js,
python, or php. Its about setting up an HTTP server and attaching an
accessible web services server to it.

The box is at V7R1M0.

The web server is at V2.6

------------------------------------------------------------------------

First example is the provided example, ConvertTemp. That is as
installed, no modifications, With SoapUI it provides a converted
temperature. Copying the URL from the SoapUI title bar and pasting it
into a browser gives me: "


/ConvertTemp


Hello! This is a CXF Web Service!"

Adding ?90 to the address bar gives

<soap:Envelope><soap:Body><soap:Fault><faultcode>soap:Server</faultcode><faultstring>No

such operation: web (HTTP GET PATH_INFO:

/web/services/ConvertTempService/ConvertTempnull)</faultstring></soap:Fault></soap:Body></soap:Envelope>

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Second example is creating a new web server service. I clicked Next
for every choice but 4: QSYSDIR, QIWSSAMPLE, chose a Rest service, and
filled in TEMPIN with *QUERY_PARM, TempIn, default = 90. When I access
it with a browser I get:

com.ibm.as400.access.AS400SecurityException: Password is *NONE.:QWSERVICE

which sounds like an authority problem that is not verified, fixed, or
recognized by the wizard. So I edited the server and used my USERID
instead of QWSERVICE. That gives a conversion of 32.2. Always. Makes
no difference what parm I supply.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
As an aside, it struck me as peculiar that at no point is there
discussion about converting Fahrenheit to Celsius or the other direction.

*Let me ask my question again*: Has anyone here successfully used the
Create Web Services Server Wizard and delivered a working REST web service?
