Hi,
Informix Web services solution has been in the Informix 4GL product for some time. However, it has not evolved for at least 15 years .
- does SOAP and not REST
- does not scale
- monothreaded
- does not handle a large load and not geared towards real life web intensive environment
We at ConsultiX offer a solution "ConsultiX Web Services Server" that allows to use your existing 4GL code without without porting it nor rewriting it:
-
Allows you to create RESTFUL 4GL web services with a minimal development effort.
- Easy to implement: no need to install and configure a Web application server - install our ConsultiX Web Services Server and go
- REST protocol ( GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, HEAD ...)
- Native in the sens that it allows to use your existing 4GL code (100 % code reusable) without duplicating it or rewriting it
- Easy Maintenance: no maintenance needed when you modify existing the 4GL functions since it uses the same code
- Compatible with the compiled version of 4GL
- Mulltithreaded
- Highly scalable
- Secure: includes the OpenSSL library with its SSL/HTTPS protocol, so that you can encrypt data exchanges between the web services and the external world
-
Able to communicate with external applications (such as SAP) or existing JAVA or DotNet web services.
-
Performance and Robustness: tested with millions of requests with hardly any increase in response time
Check the brochure attached for more details.

Bonjour/Bonsoir Eric,
I was curiously waiting to see some answers on this question but I have not seen any so I will send my comments.
We have been very actively working on web services for the past 10+ years for our clients. I circled around and played with Informix-4GL web service functionality as it was going to make sense for some projects/systems, however all of a sudden we found ourselves working with Genero for creating web service code, both on the server side and the client side. These have been running in mission critical production environments for several years now. We never got to use Informix-4GL web services in a production setting which I believe your main question is about but since Genero is Informix-4GL syntax at its base, I thought I would share our experience on this - Genero with web service code has been working very well. We also have been writing web service code in Java and C#.NET to work with Informix and other databases. One fact with web services is the frequently cha
