It's the way the CFC is handled... in .NET I create an instance of the Shape object (.NET Object) , and when I invoke the coldfusion web service, .NET performs serialization and sends it to coldfusion. On the coldfusion end it becomes deserialized into a CFC. Processing occurs, (in my example I multiply the length and width by 2) and then the object is returned back to ..NET (CF serializes the cfc and sends it back to .NET which deserializes it into a .NET Object)
If ColdFusion components are really trying to become an object, then they should have the ability to serialize so they can be passed (and returned) as web service parameters, just like Java and .NET do it. I shouldn't have to serialize on the .NET end and then convert that to an instance of a string. Like SOAP defines it, i should be passing the complex type as an xsd:complexType rather than an xsd:string --Ken On 5/30/07, Robertson-Ravo, Neil (RX) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > You can pass a CFC to a .NET call? > > > > "This e-mail is from Reed Exhibitions (Gateway House, 28 The Quadrant, > Richmond, Surrey, TW9 1DN, United Kingdom), a division of Reed Business, > Registered in England, Number 678540.
