Re: Maintaining XML via Form Post

"Many" may have implied too many, I'm talking appx 5-10 roundtrips.
Necessary roundtrips, pulling data from the database, populating
(collecting) certain results into an XML document based on user input.

Is there a recommended ASP VB XML XSLT developer mailing list someone could
recommend?

Thanks for the input.  Posting the XML data sounds doable (realizing that
I'll need to LoadXML from a form field).

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.

Hello,

I'm considering maintaining an XML object (string) in a form post... 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?
