Getting Started with IBM Data Studio for DB2

Web Access: HTTP POST JSON: Web 2.0, provides a direct way to parse messages
into JavaScript objects.
All service bindings are based on HTTP and, for demonstration purposes, we use cURL as
a lightweight, simple to use HTTP client.
Note:
cURL is a command-line tool for transferring files with URL syntax. Using the cURL
command line, a URL must be used to define where to get or send the file that is specified in
the command line. cURL is free software that is distributed under the MIT License and
supports several data transfer protocols. cURL compiles and runs under a wide variety of
operating systems. cURL uses a portable library and programming interface named libcurl,
which provides an interface to the most common Internet protocols, such as HTTP/HTTPS,
FTP/SFTP, LDAP, DICT, TELNET, and FILE.

E.1.1 Default XML message schemas
To test the SOAP over HTTP and HTTP POST (XML) binding you need to know the
structure (XML schema) of the request message. This information is contained in the
WSDL file, but you can also separately generate the XML schema for every operation in
the web service, as follows:
1. Right-click on the web service operation from within the Data Project Explorer and
select Manage XSLT…. Figure E.1 shows this for theRankEmployee operation
used in Chapter 10.
