that with AjaxCFC, I don't have to reinvent the wheel and can instead use my

Thanks, Andy.

Michael...
Have you seen how easy it is to access a CFC directly using jQuery? Dirt
simple.

Paul, on simple data retrieval, I find pure jQuery's $.ajax(), $.post(),
and
$.get() more than sufficient especially when used with .cfm files.
AjaxCFC's however would be my preference when I need to invoke my cfc's...
of course when its out of alpha. As Rey said, it's a case-by-case. My

That's exactly what I'm looking for, Rey. I've already got my feet
wet with jQuery's UI tools, so it sounds like AjaxCFC may be a great
way to handle the Ajax stuff.
Thanks for the insight.

Hi Paul,
I'm so used to doing things sans AjaxCFC for jQuery that I would
probably stick with straight jQuery since its what I'm most accustomed
to and I love having greater control over how things are handled.
But I'm very torn because Rob's done a GREAT job of abstracting jQuery
via AjaxCFC and the functionality he's included such as serialization
(js, json & wddx), logging, and CF-based error reporting really
attractive.
So I'd really have to evaluate things on a case by case basis. I don't
think you can go wrong by using AjaxCFC, especially in the beginning
where it may make using jQuery much easier for Ajax call manipulation.
Remember that AjaxCFC isn't there to help you with UI controls or DOM
manipulation. Its biggest feature is the ability to access CF data
types easily and work with them during an XMLHttpRequest. You're still
going to have to dig into the jQuery API in order to handle non-Ajax
functionality.
