of using webservices that I don't control. What I mean is, I use them
all the time between applications in my network and to and from client
sites. But I don't like using outside services because I can't control
their uptime. Until organizations provide me with a webservices control
panel, noting uptime history, usage statistics, etc. I'm unwilling to
have any of my applications rely on an outside webservice.
Furthermore, the cost of some of the reliable, more secure and
guaranteed uptime webservices, far out way the cost in developing my
own. Most of the time, I can more affordably build something that suites
my needs rather than spending a higher price for something that is
already built, with uptime out of my control.
I hope that helps

Subject: What are ColdFusion developers doing with Web Services?
Hi all,
In addition to seeking recommendations for training in
Web Service protocols, I'd especially like to know if
anyone in the ColdFusion development community is even
doing much with Web Services.
Macromedia's forums certainly dont see much talk about
Web Services. Macromedia MAX this year offered a
couple of seminars - but it was clear they hadn't
really yet captured the attention of most
developers...
And yet all indications point to Web Services
thoroughly revolutionizing the way we build
applications.
Are they just too new? Are the standards just not
sufficiently nailed down? Are developers afraid this
is another WDDX?
Just curious - eager to hear some thoughts on this.
Yours,
Ralph Ogden
