>- see footer for list info -< A direct cfinvoke is not calling it as a web service, thus a different result.
what I usually do in such situations is to comment out the arguments one at a time until I find the cause of the problem. You will of course need to comment out the argument in the cfc so that it is not required, rather than in your invoker. You should also trying invoking the web services it from a non CF source as that is how it will be used eventually. Try SOAPUI which is a handy tool for such purposes. -- Russ Michaels Certified ColdFusion Professional My Blog: www.russ.michaels.me.uk Tel: 0845 8620034 Fax: 07092 300330 Skype: russmichaels Commerical ColdFusion & BlueDragon Hosting: www.cfmxhosting.co.uk FREE CFML Developer hosting : www.cfdeveloper.co.uk Russ -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Terry Riley Sent: 07 October 2008 14:25 To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [CF-Dev] CFMX6.1 and web services >- see footer for list info -< Yup, I knew that.....
