The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Consuming Webservices Using ColdFusion

Asked by wsessoms in ColdFusion Application Server, ColdFusion Studio

Tags: ,

I am brandy new to SOAP and XML. I am proficient with CFML. I need to request information from a hotel reservation webservice and store the response in a MS Access database to be used by my CFML application. I will be translating to mySQL later in the development of the application.

Below is the XML code that I received from the webservice provider:

Technical information

The Hotel interface runs onto HTTP protocol and both Xml request and responses should be into a SOAP message. This way allows multiple Xml functions in the same message and save in communications. But the main advantage is that SOAP offers many integration possibilities with many systems using free and available libraries by Internet. In any case the SOAP tags are optional and can be omitted.

See Soap-tags below:
Soap Request Sample      
<?xml version="1.0.1" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
