Bryan, Check your docs under the cffunction tab to see what the output attribute actually does. I think you may have it confused with what <cfreturn> does.
Here's a quote from <cffunction> docs page for output attribute: Specifies under which conditions the function can generate HTML output. yes: The entire function body is processed as if it were within a cfoutput tag. Variables names surrounded by number signs (#) are automatically replaced with their values. no: The function is processed as if it were within a cfsilent tag If you do not specify this attribute, the function body is processed as standard CFML. Any variables must be in cfoutput tags. Dave -----Original Message----- From: Bryan Stevenson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, August 22, 2005 12:26 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: webservices and XML Hey All, OK...from Livedocs at MM: 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. Number 3 above does not appear to be true (or I'm missing something). For arguments sake let's assume the WS method has output="no" and returntype="query"... Will the query returned by the WS be converted to XML? because it doesn't seem to be. I'm manually converting the query to XML now and it's SLOW when larger recordsets are returned. TIA for any insight Cheers Bryan Stevenson B.Comm.
