In one of my previous article we talked about the accessing a non-progress web service from progress OpenEdge® ABL.
Refer to the article Accessing non Progress® Application via WebService for more information. During this webinar, few participant requested for a tutorial on the publishing an OpenEdge® web services.
This article describes how to publish an OpenEdge® Web Service. I had heard about AppServer® with the release of Progress® v8. But, I got an opportunity to work on AppServer® only with OpenEdge® 10 release!
In OpenEdge®, a Web service is usually an AppServer® application that is accessible to a client application through a Web server.
In OpenEdge®, you could:
- Create new Web services that you build as ABL (Advanced Business Language) applications and deploy on an AppServer®.
- Expose existing AppServer® applications as Web services.
- Create an interface to your Web services and deploy it on a Web server.
- Create the client-side applications that interact with your Web services.
OpenEdge® includes support for Web services that are based either on SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol), or on REST (Representation State Transfer).
