Very cool, thanks for the heads up. I was going to just bypass CF and do this in Java, but I hate going that route for a single function in an application that is otherwise entirely written in CF and supported by CF developers.
With CF's ability to work with XML documents, there would seem to be a natural fit for a function that would allow a developer to pass a valid XML document to a Web service invocation call as the body of a SOAP message. The disadvantage would be that the body of the response would, presumably, be a XML document that CF would pass back with no additional processing. The function could be implemented in Java and wrapped in CF. But, hey, if you have a pure CF solution, like I said, that's even better. > Robert -- > > You're not alone in facing the problem of how to invoke a web service > that requires as input a complex-within-complex XML document.
