This is not a viable solution, within CFML itself. For one thing, you won't be able to use CFHTTP to build a valid SOAP request. I suspect that Howard was suggesting that you use WDDX on both ends of the process, but since you're using a third-party web service, that's probably not an option. > Ick. :-) A working Axis module that lets me cfinvoke > to get back a structure-within-structure would be so much > simpler.

However, I've heard rumors that CFMX Updater 3 will include Axis 1.0, as well as the ability to allow you to update Axis to post 1.0 versions later. You might want to peruse the Axis bug list (available off of http://ws.apache.org/axis/, I think) and see if your issue has been fixed in Axis 1.0 or 1.1 beta, then wait until Updater 3 if possible.
