Services for IBMi

Hi All,

I am planning to introduce Web Services for my IBMi application. I need
some suggestion to choose which Web Services to go with.

This web services which i am planning will be mainly focused for REST

Based

API Calls. Also i did a small POC in my application using Scott's YAJL

tool

using DATA-INTO and DATA-GEN for Parsing JSON Document into Data

Structure

and vice versa. So i am planning to use Scott's YAJL tool as well.

Initially i thought of using IWS, but i could see the below two

drawbacks

with IWS
1) In Error Scenario the JSON body will not be sent back to Client
2) It Supports only 4 HTTP methods (GET, PUT, DELETE and POST) but as

per

my application requirement i need to use PATCH method as well.
Do any one knows when IBM will fix the above two stuffs? If it is within

3

or 6 months then i am very happy to use IWS as Web Services.

The other options in my mind are
1) With Apache HTTP Server and using CGI method, call the RPG Program
2) Node.js
