Thanks Tim for including the youtube videos.  They never turned up in my google searches.  I did a quick skim of them and they might be more of what I was looking for because I am after the down and dirty, not the overview of what is can do.  I will review them closer over the next week or two.

Using the fast forward method (clicking and jumping ahead), it looks like the one is for SQL not programs and I couldn't tell for sure what the second one did.  Do either of these show how to configure a new service using *PGM or *SRVPGM objects where source is also available for the programs?  That will allow me to look at both sides to understand how they talk to each other.  

So you know, the docs that I was referring to as being old and out of date are located here... https://developer.ibm.com/tutorials/i-rest-web-services-server2/.  This is part 2 of a 3 part series posted in 2015.

   Greetings.   
    
   The doc for the IWS support...the integrated Rest API engine is updated
   regularly,
   - [1]https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/integrated-web-services-ibm-i-web-services-made-easy 
    
   Near the bottom of the page is a link to the Red book like doc that has
   lots of details.   
    
   Additionally, there are a couple of youtube vides on this support that
   could be helpful.

     I have been writing C#.Net REST services for a while and wanted to play
     with
     RPGLE.  I already understand REST services, I just can't figure out how
     to
     configure the service on the IBM i.  I am the type of developer that
     needs a
     working example so I can play with it and learn from it what I need to
     do to
     make it do what I want it to do.  I have tried to go through the
     configuration but nothing I have found matches up with the screens my
     system
     provides so I'm not sure what parts of the config are doing what and now
     to
     do the config.  The IBM developer pages are from 2015 and aren't even
     close
     to the current version.  I am running V7.3.

     Are you looking to consume web service or provide them (sounds like the
     latter).

     Have you any CGI experience with RPG?  There's not a lot of difference
     if
     you want to use RPG and Apache for it.
