    I’m not sure I believe the hype. I have tried to use the CJ webservices and found that the we developer samples are over a year old and don’t work. The service has been updated at least twice since then with no updates to the samples.

    There is no support, only user forums and they are apparently not moderated by CJ or at least not answered.

    Very disappointing! Apparently only some relationships are valued and the Web Services Users are not included.
