Hello, I have developed a .NET web service in which the most likely consumers know Javascript and XSLT. Have been trying to code up some samples for them to go off of, but I have not found a good solution for calling the web service in this manner. This is what I have tried:
1) IE WebService behavior. Can only call back to the server that delivered the page, so I might as well do the transformation on the server; which breaks the whole web service model. Have not tried serving the page from web server A, which references the behavior on web service server B, and calls back to web service server B. My guess is that this will not work, but I am not sure. Also, only works in IE, not great, but am ok with that. 2) Client side javascript. It does an MsXml.XmlHttp GET of the Web Service, and then XSLTs it on the client side for display. The problem here is the XmlHttp request with browser security. The default security setting 'Medium' raises a Javascript error. Medium-Low warns the user and lets them continue or not. Low works fine. Going with the default setting for 99% of users, this is not feasible. 3) Server-side javascript. No clue here. Would want code that would work on both unix and IIS. Not sure how to do this with diff XML parsers and such. I do have an ASP server side example, so maybe if I can just get a PHP example, that will handle it. 4) Other ideas? Trying to build off of past work, hoping there are new development since last year: http://dnug.net/ReferenceImp.aspx Started reading the new wrox early adopter 'web service faceplates' that might have my answer, but I have not gotten far enough into it.
