If you have DB2 for z/OS installed you can use the DB2 SOAP User Defined Functions (UDFs) to invoke a Web service simply from dynamic or static SQL embedded in your COBOL program. This would not require Java programming. You can find more information in chapter 8 of the IBM Redbook SG24-7663 DB2 for z/OS:Deploying SOA Solutions (http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/abstracts/sg247663.html?Open).
