Session Abstract:
Enterprise Generation Language (EGL) has built in capabilities to support Web services. The language allows one to easily create a Web service. These Web services can be accessed by any other application. EGL also allows consuming existing Web services by simply pointing to a Web Service Definition Language File (WSDL). The Web service wizard will create an EGL interface from this definition. The EGL developer can then invoke the Web service like a function without having to worry about the middleware involved in a Web service invocation. We show you both EGL capabilities in this session. We also show how to create Web service wrappers for IBM i batch programs or interactive programs. These wrapped programs can then be easily consumed by EGL web applications.
