1) Create a series of UDFs that validate the various datatypes (IsNumeric(), IsStruct(), etc.) and wrap them in a CFC. 2) Have your webservice CFC extend this CFC to have access to the methods. (You could optionally pass an instance of the validator CFC to each webservice CFC and store it in VARIABLES). 3) Set the type="" attribute for all arguments to "ANY" and add your own "custom_type" attribute with what the type _should_ be 4) Write a function that uses GetMetaData() to return your custom_type attribute value and pass this along with the supplied value to the validator CFC. 5) Include this one function call at the top of all of your webservice methods, wrapped in TRY/CATCH blocks. 6) If the arguments match, you move on, if not, you throw your custom error.
