It is the call using Createobject() that is called indirectly via your cfinvoke and uses the argument collection that you said does not work. Try dumping out the WS object and verify that the arguments and data types are the same as when you do a direct cfinvoke of the web service.

The problem is that I have to consume a service that is not CF, on XYZ's server, which works if I use <cfinvoke> with arguments. What I was (perhaps wrongly) trying to do was to gather all the bulk of the code in the <cfinvoke>s from around the system - into a cfc that would have all the security stuff (passwords etc) and creation, perhaps, of a webservice object, and methods, in just the one place to which I could send the info from the point of consumption to receive a success/fail result - which is all I need. We are passing info from us (in CF) to them (in php). I've decided to create a central file to be invoked the point of consumption. That will have all the cfinvokes and a cfswitch; the webserver object will be created at the top of the file. Having laid myself totally open to laughter and ridicule on this subject, I have appreciated the help offered, guys. > > > > -- > 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..... > > Was trying to figure why I got the error any way but a direct > <cfinvoke>.
