What happens when you cfdump those "stub" methods? Something like <cfdump var="#myWebServiceObject.StubMethod()#"> In my experience, as long as the webservice is developed by a sane person, you'll be able to figure out how to use it by cfdumping those "stub" methods and whatever's "inside" of those methods... It's up to the webservice developer to document how the webservice works. It's not CF's fault...
