XML is the right answer. I'm not sure how well WDDX is supported across platforms, I know it was an open standard, but I remember something about there being version differences. If it's all caught up you could simply serialize it using the built in WDDX functions and pass it that way.
Or you could just use the XML functions in CF to create your own model that works with the data you're transferring. -----Original Message----- From: Jeff Small [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, March 23, 2007 10:05 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: Just a question/discussion point RE: Web services.. Okay, so I write a CFC. I set access="remote" and poof, I have a web service... right? So if I write a method, let's say, "getComics()" and it returns a query object... well, that's just not going to work for people who aren't using CF, right? I mean, if I'm using CF and invoking the method using the web service url, I can output it, dump it, loop thru it, etc. But, if I'm using something other than CF, I wouldn't have any way to move thru that data, would I? In other words, PHP doesn't know what a ColdFusion Query object is. What's the approach here? What's the next step to making something that people using .net or PHP can return and use? Apologies in advance if this has already been rehashed before, but I'm genuinely kinda stumped about how to proceed, and I'm not even sure really where to go next for the "next step" here that I've obviously stumbled onto... I know the short answer HAS to be "XML", but I'm not quite sure *how*... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Upgrade to Adobe ColdFusion MX7 The most significant release in over 10 years.
