I don't understand why the client thinks XML makes his data secure. Unencrypted transmission of data is unsafe, no matter the form of transmission.
CF can process XML using things like the MSXML parser... Take a look in the tag gallery, there's lots of approaches there. WDDX is an API that uses it's own DTD, so it's not too useful for something like this. -----Original Message----- From: Nathan Chen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Sunday, March 24, 2002 9:39 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Using XML as data source Hi, Everyone: I have a client who is very concerned about the security of his database. He needs an application that involves with customers' bank accounts and credit card numbers. He wants to use XML files generated from his database and make them available for downloading every time my application runs. When the application is done with updating the data, the application sends the XML files back to the server. Besides the security reason, are there benefits of taking this approach? How can CF application read XML and do the data processing such as update, delete, and then output the result to an XML file? Can WDDX do the entire process for me? Thanks for any tip.
