I've got a iSeries to .Net compact framework project. It includes rgple programs exposed as web services and a Windows mobile app that uses the webservices. Each iSeries program has a specific webservice wrapper and the .net app reference each. I would like to come up with a more generic messaging service using XML.
I am fairly familiar with procesing XML in .Net. But have no experience with XML on the iSeries. What iSeries XML tools would you recommend? And how best to get started/learn XML processing on the iSeries?
IBM provides the XML Toolkit for IBM System i5.
You can also run Java which has an XML parser.
RPG also has some support for XML built into the langage.
You can get started by reading the IBM documentation at those links.
