jon,

the simple question is - do we work together or do we try to shoot bullits
at each other to get a gun and get a bang out of life?

Brian any way to return JSON data ?

I'm not Brian but ...

Answer right now is no. The request packet has to come in as XML, and the
response is the same.

The way it handles the parameters as one XML packet has resulted in my
engaging in a debate with staff at one client who claimed it couldn't be
ca;ed a REST service because it required XML and didn't behave lile a
"normal" REST service. My recent investigations have convinced me that
there is no such thing as "conventional" REST but ...

If nobody else gets round to it I might try and do some work in the future
on a JSON request/response. XMLSERVICE is incredibly flexible, but that
costs and I can't help but feeling that a way of "registering" a particular
program's parameter set with it would speed it up and allow a more
conventional REST usage - plus of course returning JSON result sets (or
whatever is flavor du jour next month).
