Todd, Like I stated, it really depends. Obviously, if you don't have to do it, it's unnecessary. As it stands right now, if two CFMX applications are communicating, there shouldn't be any problem invoking a web service that returns complex data types (unless you're using createObject()--which case there's a bug w/CFMX translating Query objects created within CFMX.)
CFMX and .Net have some issues w/complex data types--which if that's the case then using an XML packet as a string may be the best solution. -Dan > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Tuesday, July 02, 2002 9:04 AM > To: CF-Talk > Subject: RE: Clarification needed -- WebServices (Part II) > > Interesting.
