I was assuming you could build the service "around" the existing wsdl. In the babelfish examples in the documentation cfinvoke calls a wsdl file.
<cfinvoke webservice='http://www.xmethods.net/sd/2001/BabelFishService.wsdl' method='BabelFish' translationmode="en_es" sourcedata="Hello world, friend" returnVariable='foo'> <cfoutput>#foo#</cfoutput> Now, I only assume that on the altavista side, the wsdl file itself does not do the translation, but is passed to a cgi. And I assumed the cgi would be the one specified in soap:address location. And on a somewhat related note. I'm still don't understand how I place the XML that is sent to the service into a variable for reading. The service is requested initially from the end user's computer and sends text/xml, not form variables, so I can't grab the xml with form.xml or whatnot. ><soap:address location="http://services.xmethods.net:80/perl/soaplite.cgi"/> > >What I'm asking is, in my CF scenario, would this value be to my cfc >file, or to a cfm that included the cfc, or what? > >:) > > >None of the above, the beauty of a CF web service is that you don't >need to work this hard.
