Hi

can anyone point me in the direction of a full EGL sample that fetches data from  and puts data to a json source - web service or other structure.

I have examined the ServiceLib convertFromJSON() and convertToJSON() , but would like to see "the whole picture" .

TIA

What do you mean by "json source"?

This could be anything.

The functions you mention just convert data. It's like changing an integer to a string.

Hi Bram, thanks for asking.

I would like to see a EGL sample on how to get data from an external json web service and how to build an EGL web service using json.

Both the EGL coding and the environment setup - in Tomcat, WAS or liberty server would be nice.

TIA

Morten

I don't know much about json web services. I found the following link useful for orientation: https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSGMCP_5.2.0/com.ibm.cics.ts.webservices.doc/concepts/concepts_json.html

As I understand it json is an equivalent of xml. They are data formats.

To consume web services the data format is only part of the story. There needs to be a definition of how the data is to be retrieved.

I believe EGL has SOAP and REST support built-in. The result of the service call  is an xml response, which is automatically mapped to egl records.

Do you know how to consume the JSON service?

Is this based on standards?

Kind regards,

Bram

Hello @mohaIBMDK.

I'm developing a project in webservice, where I use XML, database, websphere and the like.

With this I use the convertFromXML and convertToXML commands.

For "convertToXML", I read the data from the database, store it in records of type XML., And this command generates the formatted XML.

Already the command "convertFromXML", takes the data from the XML file, throws it to the records of type XML, and hence I can use them as needed.

I did not use JSON .. Would it help you?
