I did some tests with a web service (CFC with some methods with remote access) and an AJAX interface, it works great. I can invoke the CFC remotely in two ways: - Regular POST/GET request, the method will return the result in WDDX format. (less data, should be faster) - SOAP request, the moth will return the result in SOAP format. (more data, should be slower) Also, I can invoke the same CFC locally from CFML code (cfinvoke), it works fine too. So far I didn't hit any issue with the WDDX format and the AJAX interface: the JS library works just fine in Firefox, Internet Explorer and Safari. This way I still have a SOAP interface (I could use a Flash client to connect to it in the future, or even Lazlo) and a local interface (I will use CFML code for regular forms, for browser with JS disabled or that don't support the AJAX interface) without duplication of code! That looks great to me, am I missing something? :-) I need to add some security, especially when the CFC methods are called remotely. BTW, I didn't find a good way to tell if a CFC method is invoked locally or remotely, any idea?
