Thanks Stian for explaining the usage of the list, I will read them through.

But can you state why you wouldn't suggest to expose file names through web 
services?

In our case, we simply pass the file names into the web service, no path 
attached to those file names.  The reason for that is we do not want the data 
physically being transferred among the processors - our data are huge - thereby 
we feed file names into the service and expect the service returns the names of 
the output, and so on.

I want to hear some advise on that from your perspective.

Thanks again.

Fan

As explained in my other email you should just be able to connect them together.


As a general advice I wouldn't expose file names through a web
service, at least not without checking for .. : \ and / in the other
end :-)
