I am refactoring a web service written in PowerBuilder .net back to regular PowerBuilder, and have run into a stumbling block. In the PB .net web service, I would access database IDs and passwords stored in an INI file outside of the IIS wwwroot folder. Apparently that is not doable in a regular PowerBuilder web service. Is there another approach for storing and accessing such sensitive information?

Thanks,

Doug Holt

other way is to edit the web.config file and then use the 

GetConfigSettings() to read it

for example

 

String ls_key, ls_value
#IF DEFINED PBWEBSERVICE THEN
    ls_key = 'database'   
    ls_value = GetConfigSettings(ls_key)   
#END IF

Hi Doug;

     Yes you can access INI and other files deployed in a PB2017R2 Web service!

Have a look at my Web Service Framework. A good simple example of an INI being read by a Web Service is in the framework's OrderEntry example App.

HTH

Regards ... Chris
