Hi ,

Thanks a lot to Sean Corfield and Gary Menzel for their valuable input. At
least it looks like we are three people using Web Services on CFCDEV an
CF-TALK lists ...


However, it looks like I am not as lucky as you are, since you could use
CFMX WS " as is". CFMX WS implementation is great and allows developers to
quickly implement WS. Unfortunately one of our customer's requirement is
that our Web Services should also be "consumable" by MS Infopath ..  As you
know, CFMX doesn't talk anything but RPC/Encoded WS and MS Infopath only
knows about Document/Literal . grrrrrrrrr.

In other words:
* Our company has developed since 2000 a huge CF intranet/extranet
application.
* This application has successfully been ported to CFMX (yes) and gradually
restructured to use CFC's , really great!
* The next logical step is to make it available externally through Web
Services.
* One of our requirement is to create Document/Literal WS accessible through
WSDL (required by our biggest customer)
* It is NOT an option to re-write the code and not use our CFC to build our
Web Services
Thanks to the very good reading in "ColdFusion MX Developers Handbook "
pointed out by Matt Liotta who wrote a very interesting chapter about WS
architecture in CFMX, I could try to build our own WSDL for Document/Literal
WS and generate the related stubs, but couldn't succeed to make it work yet.
Would anybody here have any real sample code and WSDL using this technique?
As another option I consider writing the WS stuff in Java and call the
existing CFC java classes generated by CFMX, does it seem a good solution,
and would there be any experiences about that?
Tanks again
Dominique
