wddx does the job best when all middleware involved is CF. It's hard (I think) to make it work when the other middleware platform is not CF, as there are probably no non-CF built-in wddx serialization/deserialization tools for other middleware platforms.
I'd use XML if there's any non-CF involved. But you could also choose to use your CF app to produce a wddx wrapper service for your other applications so you don't have to learn XML. --- Saul Rothbart <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > What are you trying to accomplish? > > ...at the moment I'm trying to get a bearing as to > where to apply time in > learning either technology. > > The general scope is in allowing various databases > to easily connect and > exchange listing information on vehicles. > > My very limited knowledge on the matter is that both > xml and wddx could do > the job but wddx, being an J.
