I qualified my opinion on that since I don't know what wddx support on the other platforms are. Steve Nelson indicated there is good support on the other platforms, so you should check with him on that.
If you want a quick and easy solution, wddx is definitely the way to go. If you want a solution that is flexible and powerful, then I'd suggest you bite the bullet and start learning XML. One other factor to influence your decision is that active development on wddx seems to have died off.... --- Saul Rothbart <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi I-Lin, > you wrote, > > wddx does the job best when all middleware > involved is > > CF.
