Using Standard Input When Being A Provider Web Service

[ehillbama57]

This is my first jump into using our IBMi as a web service provider. We have been able to consume via web services for a while now. This is a new animal.

I have created an IWS server on our IBMi system and am providing some item master data based on three entries in the URL:

• Customer ID
• Product Code
• Item Number

The url looks like this:

http://<systemdomain>:10032/web/services/iteminq/12345/31/D700SCXH504

I return a JSON string using the outputs based on my deployed service setup:
====================


====================

This works great but now the requesting company wants to send a JSON string that will have multiple product codes and item numbers. Something like this:

{
"itemRequestHeader": {
"customerNumber": "12345",
"itemsRequested": [
{
"productCode": "01",
"itemNumber": "20275"
},
{
"productCode": "04",
"itemNumber": "1000451"
}
]
}
}

Can that be done using the setup above or will I have to go the HTTP server route on this? If so, I have a TON more questions on that one! :-)

Thanks!

I see where this exact question was already asked in the RPG forum. I'll follow up there.
