Kevin, if you hadn't written your second sentence, I was going to say that the problem is that CF had cached the java stubs it created to call the web service (you're using CF both to publish and consume the web service, and this is an issue related to the consumption half of the conversation). I would have pointed you to a blog entry I did:
Reloading CF web services programmatically, using the CF7 Admin API http://carehart.org/blog/client/index.cfm/2006/12/12/refreshing_web_services _programmatically CF8 Hidden Gem: Refreshing Web Service WSDL and CF proxy/stub with new RefreshWSDL option http://carehart.org/blog/client/index.cfm/2007/9/3/cf8_hiddengem_refreshwsdl But then you say you "solved" it by changing the CFINVOKE to use the IP address rather than server name. The fact that it worked is, then, not a bug but rather simply a confirmation (I'm betting) of what I say above. When you changed the IP address of the CFINVOKE, you changed the java stub created by CF. You can confirm this by looking in the CF Admin for the "web services" page, where I'm betting you will see entries for both the domain and the IP address. (Note that you could also have refreshed the caching in CF of the web service stub by a refrsh icon in that Admin interface.) It's an oft-missed aspect of CF's web services processing that it's cached (which is a good thing, because it stops CF checking and building that stub on each call). But you need to be able to refresh it when the web service creator changes the API, whether to fix errors, like you did, or just to add functionality. Hope that helps. /charlie From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kevin Hellriegel Sent: Monday, April 21, 2008 8:39 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [ACFUG Discuss] Creating a web service Thanks for your suggestions, guys. I changed the return type to a boolean and also changed the function's name. Unfortunately, I kept getting the same error. On hunch, I changed the cfinvoke to use the server's IP address instead of the hostname and it worked! Has anyone encountered this before? Is this a bug in cfinvoke?
