I need to install the "web services" deal on my unix box so that when a
customer sends me requests with SOAP or XML my system accepts the call on
the specific port.

Is there a process to do that ? I'm currently running netscape fastract as a
web server, I heard I need apache + axis , Are there other options to setup
the web services ?

thanks

Where can I get this new Web Service from SCO ? Is it under their ftp site
or I have to pay for it ?

In spite of the legal circus engulfing The SCO Group--and lingering concerns
about the Unix company's future--top executives took the opportunity at the
company's annual partner conference in Las Vegas to outline SCO's new
Internet and Web services offerings and assert its intent to stay in
business.

At SCO Forum 2003, SCO announced the delivery of key component of its SCOx
Web services initiative--SCOx WebFace Solution Suite 4.0--as well as the
SCOsms Web Services API and SCObiz Web Services APIs.

The company's SCOx direction and Web services API plans were unveiled last
April.

The enhanced suite and new APIs, designed to enable partners and customers
to migrate legacy Unix applications to a services-oriented architecture,
consists of the WebFace Browser Application Platform and WebFace Studio
development platform.

SCO's Web services architecture is based on Web services standards
including XML, SOAP and UDDI. The SCOx technologies announced at the annual
partner conference are key to SCOx Application Substrate, which includes the
suite, APIs and, in the future, Web services security and encapsulation
technologies, executives said.

Apache or Tomcat would be the easier web server to use for this, but
others
can be configured as well I imagine.

Axis is the choice if your program handling the web services calls is
written
in Java. For C and C++, gSOAP is the best choice. For Perl,
SOAP::Lite,
and for PHP, PEAR::SOAP. All of these implementations are available if
you
upgrade your system to SCO OpenServer 5.0.7 supplement 3.

Since I happen to know he's a filePro user, his best choice is probably
apache + perl and getting help from Mark Fairlite since he happens to
have done a lot of work with cgi in perl talking to filePro and it's
easy to get recent apache & perl on sco these days.

I'll make a note of that, thanks

Actually it's Mark Luljak - but 'fairlite' is his email name.
http://www.fairlte.com.

For FP into Access, Ryan Powers has some software too, along with
custom work in C,C++, and Java. http://www.bulldogsoftware.com
His web site has been up for only a month so it's undergoing
construction.

Disclaimer. I get nothing from this but they are both good friends
of mine and we often have 3-way emails going, but beyond friendship
they are both excellent programmers.
