COBOL Web Services

• You can use toolkits based on Java. There is a variety of toolkits available (for example, the IBM Web Services Toolkit) that enable Java applications to call Web services, as well as exposing Java classes as Web services. By using the support included in Micro Focus COBOL for interoperability with Java, you can use these toolkits from COBOL.

  No documentation for this approach is provided here. For COBOL/Java interoperability, see the chapter Using Java and COBOL Together.

For a comparison of the advantages of the different methods, see the chapter Application Extension with Distributed Computing .
