Hi Alan, Thanks for your quick response. Regardless of the merits or difficulties in regards to SOAP it's too late in the game now to simply discontinue supporting it. So, what we are talking about here is a documented feature which is broken. The wsdlfile attribute of cfcomponent cannot find the file--seems like a relatively simple bug fix. So how much to fix it in the next couple of days and where do I send the check?
