Yes, enumeration is the problem here.
I have fixed this, and I am working to try and get this fix available to
customers.
I apologize for this bug. No test for a situation means it doesn't work.
Now we have an enumeration test. :-)
In the mean time, try this workaround:
<cfscript>
ws = CreateObject("webservice",
http://www.webservicex.net/CurrencyConvertor.asmx?wsdl
<http://www.webservicex.net/CurrencyConvertor.asmx?wsdl> );
enum = CreateObject("java", "NET.webserviceX.www.Currency");
argFrom = enum.fromString("GBP");
argTo = enum.fromString("USD");
result = ws.ConversionRate(argFrom, argTo);
</cfscript>
The above workaround has one tricky problem however; you will need to copy
the class NET.webserviceX.www.Currency to a directory on the ColdFusion
classpath. I suggest C:\CFusionMX\wwwroot\WEB-INF\classes (adjust to your
installation directory).
Here is how to do that:
1. Run this page at least once and get the Class Not Found error.
2. Go to the CFusionMX/stubs directory and find the WS-????????
directory that has the NET sub directory.
3. Copy the NET directory to wwwroot/WEB-INF/class.
4. Delete all the .class files in the NET/webserviceX.www directory
EXCEPT Currency.class.
Sean Cornfield originally brought the issue up tome because of a thread on
CFGURU . Here is his web log posting on how to debug these issues:

Mike,
The issue you have is that Currency, which is the data type for
fromCurrency and toCurrency is an enumerated data type.
There is a issue with CF/Axis and enumerated types. I believe that
Macromedia is aware of it, but have no idea what the status is or if
there is a decent work around.
I've been trying to sort out an issue with an enumerated data type on a
web service I'm trying to access and as yet I haven't had been able to
get a solution, other than to hard/hand code the soap packet and pass it
via cfhttp to the webservice. Not a usable solution unfortunately.
The other solution that someone suggested was to import the web service
and rewrite it to accept strings/numerics and post it out to the actual
web service (I think I got that right). Again not really a usable
solution. Why should you have to rewrite someone else's web service... :o{
If get a sensible solution, I would love to know!
Regards
Stephen

Huh?
