> Its exactly what wddx and cfwddx is designed for. I don't know if I'd say passing complex data in form fields is exactly what it was intended for. Wddx has a number of uses -- I only wish someone would revive the project and bring it up to speed with other xml languages. I remember seeing someone at a CFUG meeting demonstrate how they had used cfhttp and wddx to retrieve queries from a remote ColdFusion server. Normally you would just connect to the sql server from the local CF Server, however, they had firewall issues or somesuch which prevented this from being a viable solution. Granted the cfhttp and wddx packet were slower, but it was also a low-volume application, so it seemed to work fairly well... s. isaac dealey 954-776-0046 new epoch http://www.turnkey.to lead architect, tapestry cms http://products.turnkey.to certified advanced coldfusion 5 developer http://www.macromedia.com/v1/handlers/index.cfm?ID=21816 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=4 FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Signup for the Fusion Authority news alert and keep up with the latest news in ColdFusion and related topics. http://www.fusionauthority.com/signup.cfm
