Accessing Web Services that are external to my application.

Is it possible to use the <atlas:servicereference> to set a path to a web service that doesn't exist within the same application as the consuming aspx file?

All the samples and examples show the <atlas:servicereference path="" /> containing the path to an asmx file located within the same application as the consuming aspx file. How would I set a reference tohttp://somedomain/someapp/someservice.asmx ?

This can't easily be done because XmlHttp (the browser component used to make requests) disallow requests to other domain for security reasons. Note that youcan make requests to Atlas services in other apps, as long as they're in the samedomain. e.g. foo.mydomain.com can use bar.mydomain.com.

In the next build of Atlas (around march), we will allow a limited form of cross domain method calls to Atlas services (without using XmlHttp).

Thanks. I can just reference the external web services from with the one local to my application.
Yes, doing this is what we call 'bridging', and we will also have addition support for this is a later build. In the meantime, do whatever gets you going! :-)
