I recently had an interesting question from one of our developers that I had a hard time answering.
Had had an app that required web services, but it was written in CF5, so rather than move to CFMX, he just wrote a bunch of pages that could have forms posted to them, with the commands in the form fields. Then accessed this from elsewhere using CFHTTP. He then said, what is the difference between doing this and using web services, what would the web services allow him to do that he had not done with this solution. And to be honest I really can't think of a good reason why he should have used CFMX web services instead, as this does produce the same result and can be used form any of the other platforms. Whereas if we had used a CFMX web service, I know we likley would have had problems with SOAP requests. russ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.
