that struct is building up the parameters to send to the SOAP Request. So, if the API requires the following parameters:
<version /> <CategoryID /> <ItemName /> Then in your struct you have: <cfscript> myRequest = structNew(); myRequest.version = "623"; myRequest.CategoryID = 20; myRequest.ItemName = "Some Item Name"; </cfscript> Now when you use the cfinvoke tag and pass the argument to it as a struct, the Soap Request takes those parameters one by one as if you were creating the elements individually. I ran into serious issues because a lot of these parameters are complex types that map to a custom Object. Even when I would try to set the parameters to be of the Object type it expected the whole thing went south. I was going to try and go the route of creating my soap requests in xml format using cfsavecontent then just use cfhttp to pass the soap requests in but I ran out of time. If you have any other questions I can try and help you out with what I know, which isn't a whole lot.
