Web Services
Web Services overview
Web services let you publish and consume remote application functionality over the Internet. With a web service, you
can make a request to the remote application to perform an action. You can use the ColdFusion Administrator to
register web services so that clients do not have to specify the entire WSDL URL when they reference the web service.
For more information on publishing and consuming web services through ColdFusion, see ColdFusion Developer's
Guide.

Web Services page
You can use web services to produce and consume remote application functionality over the Internet. The ColdFusion
Administrator lets you register web services so that you do not have to specify the entire Web Services Description
Language (WSDL) URL when you reference the web service. The first time you reference a web service, ColdFusion
automatically registers it in the Administrator.
When you register a web service, you can shorten your code and change a web service URL without editing your code.
