I don't think you are following me. You seem to think that as long as it is in some special directory where it works as a component that it is going to automatically work remotely and that just isn't the case. when you access it as a web service, you are going out of the server and back in through the web server (web server being apache or iis or whatever you are using) to call a URL (not a file).
You've already told us that you get a 404 when you try to CFHTTP the WSDL URL, so I assure you that CF is getting the same thing when it tries to invoke it as a web service. Drop an HTML file in the same directory and try to access that URL from a browser "ON THE SERVER". If that works, then maybe you are simply calling the web service incorrectly (in which case... show us some code). If it doesn't work, you can only blame the web server for not knowing how to find it (since it cuts CF out of the loop). Again, do this from the machine running CF since it is the one that needs to know how to resolve the URL. .:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.

It can't find it. That's my problem: ColdFusion is supposed to create it automatically: "ColdFusion automatically creates a WSDL file for any component referenced as a web service. For example, if you have a component named echo.cfc in your web root directory, you can view its corresponding WSDL file by requesting the component as follows: http://localhost/echo.cfc?wsdl"; http://livedocs.adobe.com/coldfusion/8/htmldocs/help.html?content=webservice s_19.html So folks, does anyone know what to do when ColdFusion fails to create the WSDL?? >If you can't take the WSDL URL for your web service and load it in a browser >ON the server, CF can't load it either. > >The 404 from your CFHTTP call is a good indication that CF simply can't find >it. > > >.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:. >Bobby Hartsfield >http://acoderslife.com >http://cf4em.com > > > > >Why would there be an issue resolving the domain?
