The CFAdmin name Mapping was causing a lot of problems. I went in there and cleaned out all the entries that it automatically added and everything started working. I think the only purpose of that in the Admins is so that you can have webservice="myService: and have it map to a URI. If you don't have an entry for a webservice that you call, it automatically adds it in there. So if you had webservice="http://somewhere/asdasdas.asmx"; it will create a name mapping in there for you. Then if you change anything about the webservice method, it errors out until you go into the CFADMIN and delete/update the mapping..
Thanks for your help guys! derek -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jeremy Ridout Sent: Friday, June 27, 2003 10:08 AM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: Consuming .NET WebServices We found that having .NET return an XML string works very well. CFMX has a good, fast XML parsing engine and MS can easily build and send the XML as a string. That way you can get as complex with your returned data as you want and deal with it very easily.

I'll give it a shot in the CFAdmin. As far as the .net WS goes, I originally wanted to return a dataset/struct/array (a couple name value pairs) but had read about the AXIS vs. .NET issue so I will be happy just returning a string with the values concatenated and split() them out in the CF consumption code. I posted a message on the Macromedia forums and some replied with this.. <cfinvoke webservice="http://www.bindingpoint.com/ws/imalert/imalert.asmx?wsdl"; method="sendAIM" returnvariable="aSendResult"> <cfinvokeargument name="fromName" value="enter_value_here"/> <cfinvokeargument name="toUserID" value="enter_value_here"/> <cfinvokeargument name="message" value="enter_value_here"/> </cfinvoke> which works for that WS, so I know if can be done. I modded the code to point to mine.. still nothing (without adding anything into the CFADMIN). I'm still trying to figure out the difference. regards, derek ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jeremy Ridout" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, June 27, 2003 9:30 AM Subject: RE: Consuming .NET WebServices > Are you able to get CF to map a name to the Web service via the CF > Administrator?
