Filmaker 8 adv server and Altova MapForce

[java-bean]

We are small k-8 school needing some help in a student information system. There are several current solutions running, of course in different databases, visual fox pro, mysql 5, and Filemaker server advanced 8. Using the below product we would like to map the data between the systems using xml and xslt. Altova MapForce uses web services WSDL and SOAP to do this.

Does anyone know if Filemaker 8 adv. server would allow us to accomplish this or has done anything similar ? Filemaker pro tech help has lead me to believe 8 adv. server is not SOAP compliant.

No, FM is not SOAP compliant.

But you should be able to use FMSA's XML publishing easily in this kind of setup.

To get data out of FMSA all you need to construct is a URL and FMSA gives you back an XML document. Check out the FileMaker Custom Web Publishing documents on the website.
