JW, Well, ColdFusion natively uses SOAP as its webservice transfer protocol. You may not find a specific topic about it as it is considerd assumed.
For accessing the API of another SOAP webservice, you can use cfhttp. If you want a sample of an implementation in CF, Ray Camden put out an API that access a remote webservice from Google Calendar. It should show you implementations to call the webservice. This should give you an idea about what you might need for an API and what is involved. http://ray.camdenfamily.com/projects/googlecal/ Teddy On 10/6/06, J W <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I have a new project which requires me to send SOAP messages to a third > party backend SOAP API.
