Chapter 10. Web Services

In the previous chapter, you used web services to exchange data between a client and server. However, to use web services with JavaScript to their fullest, you need to master some additional skills. These include error handling, inline web services (web service methods in the current .aspx page), and using web services and JavaScript without the help of the .NET Framework.

In this chapter, you will learn some special features of Atlas's web services support, including error handling and maintaining session state. Furthermore, you will see how to call external web services, overcoming the same-domain security policy the XMLHttpRequest object has (see Chapter 3).
