Best practices for publishing web services
ColdFusion web services provide a powerful mechanism
for publishing and consuming application functionality. However,
before you produce web services for publication, consider the following
best practices:
Minimize the use of ColdFusion complex types, such as
query and struct, in the web services you create for publication.
These types require consumers, especially ones that consume the
web service using a technology other than ColdFusion, to create
special data structures to handle complex types.
Locally test the ColdFusion components implemented for web
services before publishing them over the Internet.
