Yup. Murphy says "Caching will always happen until you want it to happen." > 2) Calling a webservice without passing ALL arguments (regardless of if > they are required).

This documented here: http://livedocs.macromedia.com/coldfusion/7/htmldocs/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/h tml/wwhelp.htm?context=ColdFusion_Documentation&file=part_dev.htm Here's the relevant bit (note number four): + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + By defining the function as remote, ColdFusion includes the function in the WSDL file. Only those functions marked as remote are accessible as a web service. The following list defines the requirements for how to create web services for publication: 1) The value of the access attribute of the cffunction tag must be remote. 2) The cffunction tag must include the returnType attribute to specify a return type. 3) The output attribute of the cffunction tag must be set to No because ColdFusion converts all output to XML to return it to the consumer. 4) The attribute setting required="false" for the cfargument tag is ignored. ColdFusion considers all parameters as required. + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + No explanation as to exactly why - I assume it's some weird SOAP thang.
