ColdFusion is noted for being the great bridge between different technologies. This becomes quite clear when dealing with building web services, where developers must often send information between applications that use a wide variety of technologies. Building web services for consumption by other ColdFusion applications is simple, as it does many of the complex web development tasks: There is no need for special processing of input parameters or return values, for example, because ColdFusion can handle all of the data mappings behind the scenes. But what must be done to publish web services generated by other technologies or consumed by other programming languages, especially those that involve complex types? Nathan Mische tackles these cases and describes how you can make your web services truly accessible to all.
