1-About it
This utility contains a set of tools for
- consuming WEB services
- providing RESTful WEB services
on your IBM i.
2-Prerequisites
- Minimum OS/400 release: V6R1
- Scott Klement's HTTP API (library LIBHTTP) is required:
service programs LIBHTTP/HTTPAPIR4 and LIBHTTP/EXPAT must have been generated and SSL support must be active.
- If you already have library LIBHTTP, you can retrieve its HTTP API version from
variable HTTPAPI_VERSION in LIBHTTP/QRPGLESRC member HTTPAPI_H.
HTTP API version requirements are:
- For EZ4WEBSERV release V5R4M0, HTTP API version 1.23 dated 2008-04-24
- For EZ4WEBSERV release V6R1M0, HTTP API version 1.38 dated 2017-10-09
- If you have not yet installed library LIBHTTP, the correct version of it will be installed by the EZ4WEBSERV installation procedure.
- Requirements for SSL support (see member README in LIBHTTP/QRPGLESRC):
- Digital Certificate Manager (57xx-SS1 opt 34)
- TCP/IP Connectivity Utilities (57xx-TC1)
- HTTP Server (57xx-DG1)
- IBM Crypto Access Provider (57xx-AC3 or 57xx-NAE)
- IBM Developer Kit for Java (57xx-JV1)
- The *SYSTEM certificate store must have been created with Digital Certificate Manager
- 57xx-WDS Compiler ILE RPG IV (needed only during the installation process)
- Easy400.net utility EZ4PARSE is recommended. It helps converting to database files the XML stream files received by the WEB client.
3-Installation
- Download file ez4webserv.zip from the Easy400 download page and unzip it.
- Follow the ez4webserv.txt instructions to upload and to restore library EZ4WEBSERV.
- On your IBM i
- sign on with a class *SECOFR user profile
- run the following procedure:
STRREXPRC SRCMBR(INSTALL) SRCFILE(EZ4WEBSERV/QREXSRC)
It does the following:
- restores library LIBHTTP (only if not yet available)
- creates objects in library EZ4WEBSERV
- restores IFS directory /ez4webserv
- creates and populates library EZ4WEBSDTA (Local data)
- installs the HTTP instance EZ4WEBSERV (listening on port 8018).
