Hi,
The z/OS Web Enablement Toolkit does not work under CICS. So it can possible be
invoked by all sorts of languages but won't work in every 'environment'. And I
would think that CICS is one of the most important 'environments' where an
application could run.
It can be invoked in a batch job
Hi,
You can implement this with relative ease in CICS transactions that use CICS

applications. We are implementing restful APIs that way.
