Hey All, OK...I'm having a bit of difficulty understanding some web service related XML issues...so perhaps someone can shed some light....
AFAIK all web services communicate via XML (i.e. the request and response are sent via XML). The response will contain the data returned and that data type and structure is defined as part of the XML response. So is it safe to say that a structure returned from a CF web service (returntype="struct") is sent to the consumer of the web service (say .NET) as and XML serialized stucture that is standards compliant XML? OR (and here's where I get confused) to pass standard XML to the consumer should I searilaize the structure into XML and have a returntype of string or XML? Did that make sense? Any insight would be great....and ask away if I'm not making myself clear ;-) Cheers Bryan Stevenson B.Comm.
