Thanks!  They are using Cold Fusion.  We already had a few hurdles with how
Remedy wants to serve up the WS/SOAP and what and how CF wants to
call/consume it.  They are still trying to figure out how to include
authentication info in the call were as it is really easy when I test with
soapUI.  I have sent them the sample soapUI XML but I am not sure how that
translates into CF's capabilities.
