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!
