I finally got somewhere with this. It was most confusing because I didnât
appreciate the complex data types were not just, for example, coldfusion arrays
but java classes specific to this web service which happened to be an array.
So, what I did, was run the wsdl2java program against the web service, in order
to see the java source files which allow you to see the data types of the
parameters.
I then ran a cfinvoke on the webservice and looked in my cffusion directory,
found a newly created directory called âstubsâ and zipped up all of the
class files that had been generated , renamed it as a jar file, and placed that
file in my coldfusion java class path.
I then created java objects in coldFusion of those data types, eg
<cfset ArrayOfInt = CreateObject("java", "org.tempuri.ArrayOfInt")>
Doing a cfdump on the object allowed me to understand how to instantiate the
variables with the right data.
Then, I wrote small amout of xml defining the SOAP header (user name and
password etc) , converted it via xmlparse into xml_obj and then pulled the
whole thing together like the following;
<cfset args.pageList = ArrayOfInt>
<cfscript>
ws = CreateObject("webservice", "http://webservice.com/ blah.asmx?wsdl");
addSOAPRequestHeader(ws, "http://tempuri.org/";, "dummy_string", xml_obj);
gb=ws.GetMetricTimeByCustom(pageList=args.pageList,startTime=args.startTime,endTime=args.endTime,timeBreakdown=args.timeBreakdown,dataType=args.dataType);
</cfscript>
<cfset xml_obj = xmlparse(gb.getXmlDocument())>
<cfdump var="#xml_obj#">
Hopefully this will save people some time.
