Web services work the same way as flash remoting in terms of setting up your facades. Flash remoting is pretty much the same as web services, except with a proprietary binary format. And with MX2k4, you can actually skip the remoting and just call web services directly from Flash, which is a nice feature.
I suppose you could call what I described an 'application facade', though I'd call it a 'web serivces facade'. The facade is to allow access to your application via web services or flash remoting, it has nothing to do with how the operation is implemented. You could separate your application object facades (to business logic CFCs) from your session object facades (to session-scoped CFCs) if you want, but that's likely more trouble than it's worth, because it means setting up and maintaining two gateway connections in your flash movie. If you've got a really complex app with a lot of different business operations that need to be exposed, then breaking them down into multiple facades makes sense, but in general, i'd just keep them all in one place. cheers, barneyb On Thu, 14 Oct 2004 13:33:41 -0400, Jeffry Houser <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Is there a way to do this w/ web services?
