Hi Michael, I recently ran into what I believe is the same problem that you are. The problem is that CF is weakly-typed, and the WSDL is describing complex data types that CF cannot figure out what to do with. The bottom line is that CF *can't* consume that web service using CFML, you must do it using Java (or .NET if on BD.NET).
Rob Munn (giving credit where it's very much due) answered the same question for me as so (check out the CFDJ link, the article shows how to get around the problem): CF isn't good at invoking complex web services. The best way to deal with this problem is to use WSDL2Java to create the Java libraries to invoke the web service, then write a wrapper class in Java to use them. You can then call the Java wrapper class from CF. There is a learning curve the first time you tackle it, but after that it gets easier. I wrote an article on it that you can find here: http://cfdj.sys-con.com/read/86131.htm The key is making sure you build the libraries and your wrapper class with the same versions of the Java Axis classes that CFMX uses. Rob So there you go, probably not the news you were looking for though.
