Hello everyone,

I need to access library data by z39.50 protocol, but have no idea how it can be done with ColdFusion.

Could somebody give an advice please?

Thank you,

Anton

The best / easiest way to do stuff like this is almost always via a Java Library. This will involve adding some jar files to the class path and then calling createObject("java", "some.java.object") to access the java api. Here is one possible library you could use: http://www.k-int.com/jzkit

Pete, thanks for reply.

Will YAZ work as well?

If you've worked with both of them, which one will be easier to use?

I haven't worked with them just noting that there is usually a java api you can leverage for this type of problem.
