I've written an application to communicate with eBay via their (relatively
new) API. I make an http call to eBay and get back XML using the SOXML
tag. What's the difference between that an a web service exactly?
<!--- Instantiate object and make request --->
<cfobject type="COM" action="Create" name="objServerXMLHttp"
class="msxml2.ServerXMLHTTP.4.0">
<cfset objServerXMLHttp.open("#Method#", "#URL#", False)>
<cfset objServerXMLHttp.send("#XMLRequest#")>
<!--- Set response --->
<CFSET objDOM = objServerXMLHttp.responseXML>
<!--- Transform XML response to CF structure --->
<cf_SOXML action="XML2CF" encoding="iso-8859-1" input="#objDOM.xml#"
output="eBayResponse">
> SOXML is a very good tag, they parse XML very similar to CF5. It even makes
