Looking for some advice on which method is best for the following scenario...
My clients 99% .NET guys. Myself about 50% now. I have been asked to maybe create a new web service in ColdFusion that allows other members of our team and our clients (none CF'ers) to integrate using .NET or any another language they feel fit. they don't have access to our servers so everything will be over HTTP(S) protocol. The service needs to allow them to do basic CRUD ON our own CF CMS and access our exchange calender currently done via CF also. again they are not on the same server or even in the same part of the world sometimes. as we have a lot invested in CF the webservice needs to be in CF So I want to know the best way forward in terms of a webservice, basic html posts? how would you open this up? what about security? how do I restrict others from acccess this as it needs to be open over https? I just need to be pointed in the right direction with this, learn and read a few books. I have integrated with many services but never created one of my own in CF. I have chosen to use the following.... ColdFusion 9 Enterprise running on IIS7 ColdBox M5 (as we love modules) exchange is accessed using cfexchnage tags this data needs to be returned as a service also. Thanks in advance for any comments and recommendations. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology-Michael-Dinowitz/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:334680 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
