We use already webservices provided by other applications.

Now we have to provide webservices of our own.

I know this is not exactly a cobol problem but I would be interested in a case where somebody has provided a webservice using a cobol applications because I'm not sure about the general procedure.

Any help is appreciated.

Good afternoon, aw_muench

Would you be interested in exposing your own COBOL programs, deploying your own webservice?

Please, have a look at Xcentrisity Business Information Server for ACUCOBOL-GT: https://bit.ly/3qimqjS

The related Documentation is available here: https://bit.ly/30b8LQZ

There is also a tutorial (a bit dated, but still quite useful):

That looks very nice!  Wish it were a bit easier to find with search, but that's not your issue.
