How to protect a webservice against SQL injection

  • 1.  How to protect a webservice against SQL injection

    Last year I attended a technical conference. One of the sessions that was presented by Tim Rowe. It was about how you can do a webservice with only SQL (no RPG code needed).  I created a webservice that queries a couple of tables to return two fields. The query allows you to pass the customer's ID to the query.  I created an HTML page to call the webservice with some Javascript.  Our security team flagged it as a potential risk for SQL injection.  I'm wondering is there something in the webservice definition I can do that would prevent this from being flagged as a SQL injection risk?  The query is only expecting a 7-character customer ID.
