> service under CFMX yet?
Don't know if it'll help, but...
We don't need totally up to date currency information so I have a
scheduled task to run twice a day and, using an xMethods web service,
update our local copy of the rates we use. Then when a conversion is
required (all are "from" GBP) we do the calculation locally.
Basic code below to call the webservice:
<!--- set where we're starting from --->
<cfset local = "uk">
<!--- and the list of currencies to retrieve --->
<cfset countrykeys = structnew()>
<cfset countrykeys["US"] = "us">
<cfset countrykeys["FR"] = "euro">
<cfset countrykeys["ES"] = "euro">
<cfset countrykeys["IE"] = "euro">
<cfset countrykeys["JP"] = "japan">
<cfset countrykeys["CA"] = "canada">
<cfset countrykeys["AU"] = "australia">
<!--- get the service stub --->
<cfset wsrate = createobject("webservice",
"http://www.xmethods.net/sd/2001/CurrencyExchangeService.wsdl")>
<!--- loop through each country --->
<cfloop collection="#countrykeys#" item="key">
<!--- get the new ex rate --->
<cfset exrate = wsrate.getRate(local, countrykeys[key])>
<!--- output the new values --->
<cfoutput>#key# (#countrykeys[key]#) = #exrate#<br></cfoutput>
<!--- 1 by 1 --->
<cfflush>
</cfloop>
