hi made those changes but its still no go.
The only reason i know the servers working is that when i use cfx_soap its returning an error message due to an incorrectly formatted message. I really want to steer away from editing the java source if possible which would allow me to send the message format i need. Would the fact that its on tomcat make any difference to the tag working? any more ideas?

Don't forget to close it afterward though: <cfset obj.Close()> (HTTP will remotely close a connection after it sends any data -- annoying for sat connections but that's the way it is -- but the Close also does some garbage handling on the local client end that you really shouldn't rely on the object going out of scope to handle because the tag was originally designed to be persistent across pages.). Additionally I believe the default time-out is something like 200ms. If you've developing you'll probably want to toss in a higher timeout than normal, say <cfset obj.timeout=3.000> (3 seconds) at first unless you want to bother with putting in all the error handling cfml right off the bat. --min ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Get the mailserver that powers this list at http://www.coolfusion.com FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists
