If you have ever tried writing an XSLT to import data into filemaker, you will know that it is not very easy, unless you know XSLT in detail.

Integrating your FileMaker database with a third party system can be complex and painful. However if they publish a WSDL (Web Services Description Language) then things become a lot easier. The integration is basically a two way conversation using XML, and is made very easy with the Web Services Plugin from Beezwax.
I have been doing quite a bit of work with smart pens recently so I thought I would drop in a quick primer on the technology.
