Hey Brad We're doing this right now for a system created in Rails. We needed to access the data in a main 4D db and this turned out to be an easy, fast way to GET, PUT any data needed.
Instead of XML, we return well-formed data as json. But the XML would be straightforward (though not as easy as using the json libraries). In fact, we prefer using A4D because we can adjust the scripts needed without getting into 4D's method editor and recompiling.
