[cfaussie] RE: Generating XML files

[Barry Beattie]

Brian, the key is how to get the XML to them (if it's XML they're keen to consume)   sure you can use CFXML to build the document, but for them to use it, what would they do?   if it was AJAX stuff (and they were on the same domain) you'd just give them a URL (with query params for the order number) and all you'd have to do is <cfoutput> the xml built from the CFXML (there's a touch more to it than that but it's not hard). At a guess this is probably not what you want to do but I'll soapbox anyway...   but chances are they're on a seperate domain so it sounds like a webservice might be the go. That way all they have to do is call the correct CFC (it'd be a facade to the real CFC, yes?). Again, build your doc with CFXML (if that's the way you're happy with), but the return/output would be via the CFC (ie: access="remote").   either that or it's "screen scraping" with cfhttp or file transfer to their system with cfftp, neither of them are nice...     just some thoughts barry.b                     -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of KNOTT, Brian Sent: Friday, 20 May 2005 11:34 AM To: CFAussie Mailing List Subject: [cfaussie] Generating XML files What's the preferred method these days of generating XML files.   I have an order system and a third party wants to get an XML feed of orders.  Should I be using CFXML or a web service.   Brian Knott ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This e-mail is sent by Suncorp-Metway Limited ABN 66 010 831 722 or one of its related entities "Suncorp".
