SQL Anywhere® Server - Programming
SQL Anywhere Web Services

SQL Anywhere contains a built-in HTTP server that allows you to provide web services, and to access web services in other SQL Anywhere databases and standard web services available over the Internet. SOAP is the standard used for this purpose, but the built-in HTTP server in SQL Anywhere also lets you handle standard HTTP and HTTPS requests from client applications. This chapter describes how to create and use both types of web services.
