Right. It can't find it. That's my problem: ColdFusion is supposed to create
it automatically:
ColdFusion automatically creates a WSDL file for any component referenced as a
web service. For example, if you have a component named echo.cfc in your web

Is it merely a stylistic difference between

Or is there a speed advantage to the latter which cancels out any increased
