Data Exchange Across Application Servers  
 
 

The other common use of WDDX is expected to be sending complex, structured data seamlessly between different application server platforms. This will allow an application based on ColdFusion at one business to send a purchase order, for instance, to a supplier running a CGI-based system. The supplier could then extract information from the order and pass it to a shipping company running an application based on ASP. Unlike traditional client-server approaches (including distributed object systems) minimal to no prior knowledge of the source or target systems is required by any of the others.
