Another thing to consider is XML structure verification. Flex, to the best of my knowledge, does not provide XSD verification. So if you are consuming a third party webservice (for instance) you'll need to verify data integrity before you can successfully parse your returned data set. For example when I wrote a parser for the Amazon.com XML API I had to provide for omitted (optional) fields. When returning a query object in CF however, you are at least gauranteed that a calumn will exist (even if it may be empty). I've consumed data sets in the 10-30k range with very little impact.

If I'm getting a large dataset from a CFC, what's the difference in overhead between using XML as a data provider vs a query in a remote object? -- Howard Fore, [EMAIL PROTECTED] "In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing, the next best thing is the wrong thing, and the worst thing you can do is nothing." - Theodore Roosevelt ------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from this list, simply email the list with unsubscribe in the subject line For more info, see http://www.affug.com Archive @ http://www.mail-archive.com/discussion%40affug.com/ List hosted by http://www.fusionlink.com ------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from this list, simply email the list with unsubscribe in the subject line For more info, see http://www.affug.com Archive @ http://www.mail-archive.com/discussion%40affug.com/ List hosted by http://www.fusionlink.com -------------------------------------------------------------
