Hi Jake. Thanks for the reply. I'll try to clarify. (Keep in mind, I'm not an experienced web developer!)
As I understand Ajax, it's used to allow asynch interaction between client, and hosted site that the client js file is fetched from. In other words, if the client html/php has something to the effect: <html> <script> <src = 'http://www.homeserver.com/test.js'> </html> Even though the client html/php might be on the 'foo' site (www.foo.com/test.html), the test.js functionality is being served from the 'homeserver.com' domain, and can therefore interface/communicate with the 'homeserver'. This is what I want to accomplish, as it allows me to create test servers/apps, and they can each communicate via the test api/web service (on homeserver.com) with the homeserver web service. so i'm trying to get my hands around how to create/implement a test app to demonstrate this. A rough overview is: Assume: Master Server 3rd Party Server (separate domain) App1 Test App API File (aa.js) (from Master Server) JScript (aa.js) ------>>-----------------^ The aa.js file allows the 3rd party client site to be able to interface with the Master Server API via the API/services defined in the API File. I'm envisioning the following actions for the user 3rd Party Site Master Server -User Enters Name >>>>>>>>>>>>>> api checks/verifies name -gets response Master Server <<<<<<<<<<<<<< returns response -user answers question based on response, sends response to master server via api >>>>>>>>>>>>>> api checks user input -gets response Master Server <<<<<<<<<<<<<< returns response -jscript then gives reply/response to the 3rd Party site, allowing the site/app to continue processing In this case, the jscript/ajax app is really only communicating with the Master Server, which if I understand it correctly would be in the same domain as the ajax/jscript code. In other words, if the master server supplies the jscript file(s) for the jscript that's to be run on the 3rd party server, then any communication that's initiated from the jscript is going back to the master server. There shouldn't be a cross domain issue? Yes/No??? So I'm trying to find docs/help/information (someone to talk to) so I can create a test app that accomplishes this kind of functionality.

Subject: Re: [jQuery] php - web service (ajax/jscript) Bruce: I'm not sure I fully understand what you are trying to accomplish, but AJAX is not a replacement for SOAP/WSDL Web Services as it is strictly limited to communication within its own domain, which flies in the face of Web Services philosophy. Could you provide a more concise example of what you would like to do? - jake On 3/15/07, bruce <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi > > I'm trying to find information with regards to how to create/implement a > test web services app. I'm trying to find pointers to anyone who's actually > created this kind of functionality, or pointers to web sites where I can > find the information I'm looking for. > > For my test, App1 has the web service, and provides the jscript/ajax code to > the 3rd Party, for use on the Test App. I'm trying to find php code for the > apps on the web servers as well as test php code for the api on the Master > Server.
