With the proper method (being able to generate WSDL) your
Web Service can be consumed by other clients and/or in other languages. Using a
custom approach breaks this "contract".

Subject: [CFCDev] CFC-based Webservice vs HTTP Post
We need to set up a webservice that in response to a request
returns details of approx 60 people. The attributes returned will be First Name,
Last Name, Age.
It seems clear cut to return this data as an XML document. But what
are the (dis)advantages of writing a 'proper' CFC-based web service complete
with generated WSDL file rather than the way I've traditionally done it: receive
request, generate XML document, return to client?
Are there any differences?
