Description Will Smythe CLA 2011-12-17 08:40:14 EST 
There is a very interesting open source project for exposing existing logic on IBM i as an XML web service (http://www.ibmsystemsmag.com/ibmi/developer/rpg/xmlservice_new_life/). "XMLSERVICE is an open-source project that’s the result of a collaborative effort between IBM, Zend, and the Young i Professionals group". It is a library that gets wired into Apache and provides access to IBM i program calls, command calls, service program procedure calls (which is not always possible with the Java Toolbox).

EGL RUI supports invoking XML-based web services today (there is a bug in 0.7, however, which is preventing EGL from serializing a record as XML properly - see bug 366994), so supporting XMLSERVICE is fairly straight-forward. 

This request is to provide tooling to speed up the process for creating an EGL interface for invoking one of these services.
