Subject: RE: [xsl] Maintaining XML via Form Post From: Jeff Beadle <Jbeadle@xxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 20 Feb 2003 10:38:11 -0500 |
Hey Karl, Our product posts xml from our web clients--a browser. Here are a couple of reasons why this is good: 1. We have been able quite easily migrate these to web service calls. 2. You have a logically encapsulated, well-formed request that saves server-side overhead in having to build a complex request structure out of a query string or form fields, as well as providing an standard API (schema) to your server-side request consumers. But, your question: >>There are many form posts (many trips back to >>the server). Is this a good idea? I don't quite understand. Why are there many posts? What does that have to do with submitting a post with an xml body? Are building xml via the posts? If so, then I definitely think that is a bad idea ... unless you don't have any scalability demands. And why not build the xml on the client? If you need to get server-side input to drive its content, then I'd suggest batching your calls as much as possible. Also, I think you may want to post your question on some other lists, because this isn't really an xsl related question ... it sounds more like an application design question.

What are the potential pitfals? I'm writing a little maintenance screen which collects information and stores it in an XML document. There are many form posts (many trips back to the server). Is this a good idea? If not, is there a better way to maintain this XML document?
