Guru: Creating A Web Service With Basic Authentication Mike Larsen
[[{“value”:”I have been working with web services for many years, and I usually use IBM’s IWS (Integrated Web Service) tool to create them.

ActiveMQ Can Integrate IBM i to Anything Richard Schoen
[[{“value”:”In today’s world of multi-platform communications with API calls and REST services across multiple servers and services, ActiveMQ and Kafka can be better vehicles for exchanging transaction data and messages than using data queues.
