Howard -- If I understand you right (and I may not, since nobody would ever confuse me with an XML/WDDX/SOAP/webservices expert), you're basically recommending I build an improved version of CFX_SOAP, right? That is, put together a module that builds a CFML structure representing a SOAP envelope and the service request contained therein, then do a CFML-to-WDDX conversion to get a serialized version of the SOAP message, then do a CFHTTP (via the HTTP GET method) to execute it, then take the returned cfhttp.fileContent, which should be the XML-formatted SOAP return, then do a WDDX-to-CFML conversion (either via CFWDDX or XmlParse()) to deserialize the return message, then start manipulating my way through the resulting complex structure to pick out the structure-within-structure that represents the true return value from the remote service.
Ick. :-) A working Axis module that lets me cfinvoke to get back a structure-within-structure would be so much simpler. I mean, wasn't I supposed to get a working Axis module when my organization paid to upgrade to CFMX? :-) Guess I'll do it your way if I gotta. But first, I gotta ask: yo, Macromedia lurkers on this list! Is anyone at MM working on a fix for this? -- LBA "<\"Owens>,Howard\"" wrote: > Have you considered CFWDDX? > > I imagine it would be a pain to go WDDX to CFML and then loop over all the > structures and arrays and build something you can manipulate, but ... > > H. > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: "Lawrence B.
