Presents your XML AND WEB SERVICES E-NEWSLETTER for September 22, 2003 <-------------------------------------------> USE COLDFUSION MX TO EASILY OPEN WEB SERVICES OBJECTS ColdFusion MX can easily read the recordset objects produced by its own compliant Web services; however, reading more complex Web service objects requires some preparation. Getting two common Web services platforms like ColdFusion and BEA WebLogic to interact seamlessly requires knowing how to read a variety of data formats (including Java) from within the client application, which is easier said than done. The WSDL will tell you how to anticipate whether raw data or a complex object will be returned from a Web service call, but that doesn't necessarily mean that viewing either the data or the object will be a simple matter for the client app. Structures must be in place that can quickly process whatever a complex Web service object has in store. This article discusses how to quickly and easily read complex Web service objects in ColdFusion MX, regardless of where they come from. Find out how to sidestep unnecessary complications that can arise from Web service object complexity. http://ct.com.com/click?q=56-NwNYInnytJ05BcoYNCsXkMWSzCYk ----------------------------------------
