If you have a contract and security set up in your WS, then you are safer then just having a data server on the internet that is EXPOSED. This is 100% security minded for how things are getting done today. In that I mean if your DATA is behind your firewall and you expose a WS that can provide data why not? Now if that same WS could do more for you like generate objects of data that it can pass back to a B2B client that is even better. >> >> Don't you think that you should also open up UI so the salesman can pick the >> customer from a list of his so he can get answers, instead of having them >> query the "open web data" looking for by himself? > > Not following you on this one.
