Detailed Description

Visual DataFlex (http://www.visualdataflex.com)

Visual DataFlex� is designed for developing database independent web 
and Windows� applications - fast! The finely tuned interaction 
between the components of the Visual DataFlex system eliminates a 
huge amount of tedious and redundant custom coding. Developers 
seeking to quickly create database applications have relied on 
Visual DataFlex for years as their RAD tool of choice.

One of the primary goals of Web Service implementation in Visual 
DataFlex was simplicity. A developer should be able to create and 
use web services without needing to understand all of the underlying 
complexities that make them work. If you can create a function, you 
can create a web-service. If you can call a function, you can access 
a web service. 

Visual DataFlex provides support for both Server and Client side web 
services. While this means that you can use the Visual DataFlex Web-
application server to create web services that can be accessed by 
any Visual DataFlex windows application, it is important to 
understand the use of web-services goes far beyond this capability. 
On the server side, a Visual DataFlex web service can be accessed by 
any application. On the client side, a Visual DataFlex application 
can access any web-service.
