XStandard ColdFusion Web Services Solution

I have programmed a ColdFusion version of the XStandard web services. I feel that XStandard is the best WYSIWYG XHtml editor that I have ever come across. I have worked hard with the support XStandard to come up with a version of their code that will integrate nicely with our ColdFusion applications.

For those of you who already use XStandard with ColdFusion and an alternate web services solution such as ASP or PHP, here are some reasons you might want to consider switching to my ColdFusion edition:

  1. ColdFusion is generally easier to understand and modify (especially if your speciality is ColdFusion).
  2. It will be called as part or your ColdFusion application and use all the pre-page processing that any page on your site will call. This leads to all sorts of security and integration benefits.
  3. It does NOT require the installation of any COM objects that are required for the ASP(X) versions.
  4. It has a better debugging and testing environment that allows you to see the SOAP requests made by the XStandard editor and the SOAP responses made by the ColdFusion code.

This is NOT AN OFFICIALLY SUPPORTED version of the XStandard web services. You can work with XStandard support to get things up and running, but feel free to post comments here if you are having trouble and I can help you integrate.

Just trying to decide whether I want a solution that needs software installing on each client computer - rather goes against the grain of a web-based application...

Seb,

I hear you. It was a step in another direction to go the installed ActiveX route. Howerver, FireFox installs it automatically... and frankly, it is such a high-level application that I am ok with installing it. The pros so far out weigh the cons in my head.

Ben, you rock. I'll definitely look into replacing the the provided ASP.net web services I'm using at work with your code when I have some spare cycles.

Thanks dude! When I get some more time, I am looking to update this code. I used XPath for the first time and it was my first experience with SOAP so there is a lot stuff that could be much cleaner. It also converts things to XML and back to string for no useful reason.

When I have a some free time, I will get to it eventually :)
