Having upgraded to CF8 pretty much as soon as it came out, I believe I've just run across a really obscure issue when consuming web services.
We have a hr-xml based webservice that had been running fine for months on CFMX6.1. When we upgraded to CF8, everything remained fine and the service continued to work with those servers that used it. As it happens, those servers although not ours are also ColdFusion 6, 7 an 8. The issue arose when the CF servers that consume the service had their webservice caches cleared and slowly but surely, all the servers posting data to this service began to fail one by one. Obviously the guys that were looking at their servers posting debugged as much as they could at their end of things but no progress was made. I was testing the webservice using eclipse and everything was fine there too. Everything looked fine. Then I coded up a simple test to invoke the service and started to get the file not found issues which pointed to a case sensitivity issue. In the CFC, the cfcomponent declaration was as follows: <cfcomponent name="hrxml" displayname="hrxml" output="false"> The filename is hrxml.cfc Depending on the url used to invoke the service, CF8 was generating different portType tags http://..../svc/Hrxml.cfc?wsdl made the wsdl generate <wsdl:portType name="hrxml"> http://..../svc/hrxml.cfc?wsdl made the wsdl generate <wsdl:portType name="HRXML"> http://..../svc/HRXML.cfc?wsdl made the wsdl generate <wsdl:portType name="Hrxml"> This seemingly random case generation ended up generating the file not found errors at the point of consumption stating that hrxml.java or HRXML.java or Hrxml.java could not be found. I double checked that all references to "hrxml" in the CFC were lower case which they were but it still didn't work. So, doing something totally leftfield, I removed the displayname attribute from the <cfcomponent> tag and up to now, it seems to be working reliably again but it was a pig of an issue to debug...
