OK, its not been dropped per say, but it certainly has fallen out of favour.....when was the last update to www.wddx.org? I am not saying its crap, jeez we use it extensively too, but it seems that since CF5, it has not been improved upon other than changes to the already existing model.
p.s. is your bug tracker out there to download? -----Original Message----- From: Raymond Camden [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 04 February 2003 15:54 To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: WDDX and UDF WDDX has NOT been dumped. In fact, Updater2 fixed some bugs that existed with WDDX in CFMX/original. I still use WDDX as it's a quick and easy way to serialize data. In fact, I have a simple bug tracker (written by Nathan Dintenfas) that uses WDDX to store data to the file system. It's not going to support a thousand users, but I can drop the file in an app and have it running in a few seconds. No need to set up a database or dsn. ======================================================================= Raymond Camden, ColdFusion Jedi Master for Mindseye, Inc Email : [EMAIL PROTECTED] WWW : www.camdenfamily.com/morpheus Yahoo IM : morpheus "My ally is the Force, and a powerful ally it is." - Yoda > -----Original Message----- > From: Robertson-Ravo, Neil (RX) > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Tuesday, February 04, 2003 9:42 AM > To: CF-Talk > Subject: RE: WDDX and UDF > > > Wouldn't something like this involve a change in WDDX?
