John,
The stub methods I'm referring to are part of apache Axis which are part of
some parent class that get's created when I do:
ws = CreateObject("webservice", "
https://www.blackbookws.com/UsedCarWS.asmx?WSDL";, "UsedCarWS");
I'm passing the portname "UsedCarWS" now whereas I wasn't before and so CF
was just getting the first available one for me. Even still I cannot call
any of the methods that this object contains except for the stub methods
which are part of org.apache.axis.client.Stub class.
Try the above line of code yourself, you'll see what I'm talking about.
Another thing I can't figure out about any of this is where I'm supposed to
authenticate. When creating the soap request by hand, it's done in the
soap:Header of the soap:Envelope.
I'm still confused.
