Steve, if you (or others reading this) are ever in a situation where you have no control over the argument names of the web service you were calling, there may be yet another solution.
As discussed, the problem is that tags like CFINVOKE, while they do let you pass in arguments to the web service, do have reserved keywords for username and password (to pass in basic authentication), which means you just can't pass arguments with those names this way. A workaround that used to work was that if instead you passed them in on CFINVOKEARGUMENT, that would work. Similarly, if you changed to using createobject to call the web service, then called the method passing them in, that too would work. If those may interest you to consider, I'd be interest to hear if it's still a good workaround for this problem. /charlie From: cfaussie@googlegroups.com [mailto:cfaussie@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Steve Onnis Sent: Friday, June 15, 2012 3:10 AM To: cfaussie@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: [cfaussie] Coldfusion Web services If i rename username and password to _username and _password the problem goes away From: Mike Kear [mailto:afpwebwo...@gmail.com] Sent: Friday, 15 June 2012 5:05 PM To: cfaussie@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: [cfaussie] Coldfusion Web services Sorry if it's a dumb question Steve, but like you, I wouldn't have thought 'username' or 'password' would be reserved words. Have you checked that the problem goes away if you change the variable names to something else? (and therefore prove that it's the variable names that are causing the problem?)
