Chip,
I actually meant for you to put the <cfset> tag in the webservice
itself, but it definitely doesn't hurt to be in the userInformation() as
well.
Following the <cfinvoke> include the following:
<cfif isStruct(aADUserInfo)>
<cfreturn aADUserInfo>
<cfelse>
web service is not returning a structure.<cfabort>
</cfif>
This way we can see if the webservice itself is returning a struct or
not, which I'm guessing it's not. (note you don't need the # signs
within the <cfreturn> tag.
For a little more background, is the webservice running on the same box?
If not where is it and what type of server is hosting it. Is it some
really confidential stuff? If not, if you fill me in on the details off
list, I'll gladly try and debug it.

Subject: RE: [CFCDev] display a struct from component
Hi,
OK I tried that.
<!--- Get the users information --->
<cffunction name="userinformation" access="public" returntype="struct"
hint="Get user information">
<cfargument name="LogInName" type="string" required="true" hint="the
users name">
<cfset var aADUserInfo = structNew()>
<cfinvoke
webservice="TheWebService"
method="getUserInfo"
returnvariable="aADUserInfo">
<cfinvokeargument name="username" value="LogInName"/>
</cfinvoke>
<cfreturn #aADUserInfo#>
</cffunction>
</cfcomponent>
But I get this error:
The value returned from function userinformation() is not of type
struct.
I attached a pic of my web service struct.
