I want to use web-service on VMS.
I know that Java is a good solution (I think it's version 1.5).
Also I am using Basic in most of my code.

I need a full example code of Java using Web-service (on VMS),
that can be used by VMS-Basic code, please.
(Even 3rd-party program is good).

I have used various web servers on OpenVMS but am currently using HP's
SWS which is based upon Apache (67% of all web servers in the world
employ Apache).

As of April 2009 the number is 45.95%.

(custom solutions like google and qqhttp has taken large shares
from Apache)

I wouldn't bother with Java unless you require your system to
autonomously communicate with a similar web service on another system.
(or want to use third party XML plug-ins or support WSDL, etc.)

That is a frequent requirement.

Once SWS is set up, I have found it relatively easy to rewrite HP
BASIC apps to interface with a web browser rather than a VT series
character cell terminal. My free demo apps can be found at the
following URLs

Web service and web apps are really two different things.
