publish XML using WCF

Question

Hi,

I want to publish some data as XML from a SQL Server database using a WCF service to a location on our content delivery network. (www.somelocation-on-cdn/myxml.xml)

This data which is published as XML will have to be updated at an interval of time. I was thinking of writing a WCF service to return the data required, create a RSS reader to update / write the XML file to a location on the content delivery network.

Is this approach correct? Can I use WCF REST instead of WCF SOAP

As a further enhancement I want to be to use this WCF Service to make cross domain calls using JSONP from our website

Thanks

Your easiest path would be to use the WCF Data Services which is a layer on top of WCF REST services. It helps you by doing a lot of the mundane chores for you - you don't have to write quite as much code and deal with quite as many details.
