What has returntype= got to do with argument type= ?? That's why people are having a hard time helping you: it's really not clear what you want.
Ok, take this example.
<cffunction name="sendFax" access="remote" returntype="numeric" output="false">
<cfargument name="userID" required="yes" type="numeric"> <cfargument name="faxNumber" required="yes" type="numeric">
<cfset var sendFaxReturn=....>
<cfreturn sendFaxReturn> </cffunction>
<cfdump var="#sendFax(userID='test', faxNumber='one')#"> <cfdump var="#sendFax(userID=123, faxNumber='one')#"> <cfdump var="#sendFax(userID=1234, faxNumber='one')#"> <cfdump var="#sendFax(userID=1234, faxNumber=123)#"> <cfdump var="#sendFax(userID=1234, faxNumber=15555555555)#">
Error Code Table:
11119000: userID is not numeric 11119001: userID is not registered 11119002: faxNumber is not numeric 11119003: faxNumber is not formatted as a fax number 0: Unknown problem, please email [EMAIL PROTECTED] 1: Success
For the first dump I want it to return 11119000. For the second dump I want it to return 11119001. For the third dump I want it to return 11119002. For the fourth dump I want it to return 11119003. For the fifth dump I want it to return 1.
For any other problem return 0
Now I can test for the validity of the userID and that the faxNumber is a valid length. But I want to keep the type of the arguments both numeric in this case. The reason is that I don't want to have to write a custom documentation page for the service. I want them to be able to invoke the wsdl and see the correct type requirements.
I don't want to make them both string types because then the person doesn't know by looking in the WSDL that the type requirement is actually a numeric and not a string.
I don't know, to me this seems like such a simple request. I don't understand why it seems like it's not possible. I've seen services that do this and I want to do it also. I could have it done in a few minutes if I was able to catch the type errors from within the function.
If please still think this is a strange request, so-be-it, I just have to respectfully disagree.
Oh, another thing, I was going to record the errors also. I can do that with making the types strings and doing the checks myself in the function, but that leaves the WSDL issue open. Or I can leave them as is and not record.
